| Summary: | Indonesia is one of the countries vulnerable to natural disasters. Positive changes or impacts after disasters are called posttraumatic growth. Spirituality, as one protective factor, was found to have contributed to posttraumatic growth. Spirituality is a sense that extends beyond circumstances and the personal quest for understanding answers to ultimate questions about life, meaning, and relationship with the sacred or transcendent. How people make sense of the world is influenced by spiritual beliefs. Survivors may find comfort from their beliefs, and they will assist them in positive growth. In this chapter, the author describes more about the relationship between spirituality and posttraumatic growth among disaster survivors in Indonesia. |
