本研究旨在建立創傷後成長的量化工具,以瞭解九二一地震後災區民眾創傷後成長之現況,並探究不同背景變項的災區民眾,在創傷後成長之差異情形。研究方法首先對四位災區居民進行深入訪談,再將訪談資料進行內容分析,以編製「創傷後成長量表」。在完成96位樣本的預試程序後,最後以滾雪球的方式抽取236位災區民眾作為正式研究對象,進行驗證性因素分析,檢驗量表之信度與效度。研究結果顯示:「創傷後成長量表」具有良好的信效度,是一良好測量工具;使用該量表初步發現,;不同破壞情形、重建情形、信念挑戰、社會支持、蓄意芻思與敘說分享情形的災區民眾,在創傷後成長的得分上有顯著差異存在。
The main purpose of this study was to develop a quantitative measure to assess posttraumatic growth, and to discuss the variables of different background in posttraumatic growth. In this study, the authors tried to develop the Posttraumatic Growth Scale according to 4 in-depth interviews with the survivors in 921 Earthquake. After revision from pretest of 96 samples, the study used snowball sampling to get the 236 survivors in 921 Earthquake as the sample of questionnaires, and was analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis to test the reliability and validity of this scale. The findings were suggested that the Posttraumatic Growth Scale demonstrated the good reliability and validity, and was a quite good measurement. The initial findings suggested the scores on the scale had significant difference in different damage, rebuilding, core belief challenge, social support, deliberate rumination and narrative.
