Abstract:
Combining ecological resilience theory with a phenomenological epistemology, we explored experiential, social, and cultural factors mediating resilience-building with participants from a village destroyed by the 2018 Fuego volcanic eruption in Guatemala. The purpose of the study is to find out what strategies displaced families and communities employ for living through the aftermath of a volcano eruption and for building psychological resilience. We conducted semistructured interviews with nine survivors of the Fuego eruption, now relocated and coping with the loss of community and family members killed in the disaster. Interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to analyze transcripts. The analysis produced four main themes: (i) individual and collective challenges, (ii) social support and protection, (iii) faith and culturally endorsed belief, and (iv) looking to the future. As well as learning more about how a community faced challenges presented by a volcano eruption, the current study has a degree of transferability, with implications for understanding how other communities experience and cope with such events.
摘要:
将生态韧性理论与现象学认识论相结合,我们探索了体验式,社会,和文化因素在与来自危地马拉2018年Fuego火山爆发摧毁的村庄的参与者之间进行复原力建设。这项研究的目的是找出流离失所的家庭和社区在火山喷发后的生活和建立心理复原力方面采用的策略。我们对Fuego爆发的九名幸存者进行了半结构化的采访,现在搬迁并应对在灾难中丧生的社区和家庭成员的损失。解释性现象学分析用于分析成绩单。分析产生了四个主要主题:(i)个人和集体挑战,(二)社会支持和保护,(三)信仰和文化认可的信仰,(四)展望未来。除了了解更多关于社区如何面对火山喷发带来的挑战,目前的研究有一定程度的可转移性,对理解其他社区如何经历和应对此类事件具有重要意义。
