Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted for Pohang citizens who experienced Pohang earthquake damage. The purpose of this study is to examine how these post-traumatic stress level affect post-traumatic growth and to examine the mediating effects of stress coping on the causal relationship between post-traumatic stress level and post-traumatic growth. Method: The survey was conducted for the citizens who experienced Pohang earthquake, and the survey data were statistically analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 program. Result: Post traumatic stress level has been shown to affect post traumatic growth. In addition, as a result of examining the mediating effect of stress coping method on the relationship among these variables, the problem solving center and the social support method had a mediating effect, but the evasion method did not mediate.

연구목적: 본 연구는 포항 지진피해를 경험한 포항시민들을 대상으로 이들의 외상 후 스트레스 수준이 외상 후 성장에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보고, 나아가 외상 후 스트레스 수준과 외상 후 성장간의 인과 관계에 있어 스트레스 대처 방식의 매개효과를 검증하는데 목적이 있다. 연구방법: 포항지진을 경험한 시민을 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하였으며, 조사 자료는 SPSS 25.0 프로그램을 활용하여 다중회귀분석 등의 통계적 분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과: 외상 후 스트레스 수준은 외상 후 성장에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이들 변인들 간의 관계에 있어 스트레스 대처 방식의 매개효과를 살펴본 결과 문제해결중심과 사회적지지 추구방식은 매개효과가 있었지만 회피중심 방식은 매개하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 지진과 같은 재난으로 인한 외상 후 스트레스 수준은 대처 방식이 문제해결중심이고 사회적지지 추구 방식일수록 스트레스를 극복하고 외상 후 성장할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
