The Relationship between Willingness to Help Others and Resilience with Post-Traumatic Growth in People with A History of Severe Covid-۱۹ in Close Relatives: The Moderating Role of Guilt

The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between the desire to help others and resilience with growth after trauma with assessing the moderating role of guilt related to trauma in people with a history of covid-۱۹ disease in close relative. For this purpose, ۱۸۹ people who had one of their relatives admitted to the special care department of the hospital due to the covid-۱۹ disease in the last six months were selected in an accessible method and completed the post-traumatic growth, resilience, trauma related guilt and altruism questionnaires. Based on the results of multiple regression analysis, trauma related guilt did not play a moderating role in the relationship between resilience and prosocial behaviors. In contrast, trauma-related guilt had a moderating role in the relationship between post-traumatic growth and willingness to help others. The conclusion from the findings of the present study can be indicative of the role of interpersonal and intrapersonal factors in promoting adaptation and even growth of people following traumatic experiences.
