- W2948834650 abstract "Due to the recent findings that the majority of South African’s have been exposed to highlevels of trauma, the effects of trauma on mental health and wellbeing have become an importantarea of research in the South African context. Although many individuals in our country experiencehigh exposure and multiple incidences of trauma, there are a significant number of people who seemto cope well in the face of adverse circumstances and trauma and do not develop stresssymptomology as a result of exposure to a traumatic event. These individuals are viewed as resilientas they are able to utilize protective factors at their disposal, aiding them in preventing thedevelopment of symptoms associated with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A large body ofliterature exists that identifies various protective factors, which may have a positive influence on anindividual’s response to a traumatic event, thus making them more resilient. However, there is a gapin the South African research on the relationship between exposure to trauma, protective factors andthe development of PTSD. The aim of this study is to explain how protective factors mediate PTSDsymptoms. It investigates protective factors that resilient individuals utilize in the face of traumasuch as; internal characteristics or traits, various demographic factors (i.e., age, gender), supportiveinterpersonal relationships, religious affiliation and community and family factors that have beenidentified as protective factors in the literature. Resilience emerged as significant in that it mitigatedthe development of posttraumatic symptoms (PTS) amongst the sample of university students. Thisindicates that despite the high incidences of exposure to trauma, individuals have the ability to beresilient, which therefore serves as a protective factor in the event of trauma.The present study constitutes a secondary analysis of previously collected survey data. Thedata being analysed is from a quantitative, cross-sectional survey that adopted a non-random,convenience sampling method. Logistic regression was undertaken in order to determine therelationship between age, religious affiliation, type of exposure, resilience and posttraumatic stressexposure. Only resilience emerges as a significant predictor underlying its importance for mediatingtraumatic outcomes. It highlights the importance od including protective factors in future researchand interventions." @default.
