| description | This research study aims to analyze life histories connected to post-traumatic growth of victims of forced displacement in El Carmen de Atrato, department of Chocó (Colombia). The study was based on the qualitative methodology using a descriptive approach. The in-depth interview was used as a technique and the interpretative life history analysis was used as a method. In a sample of life histories, post-traumatic growth after forced displacement was analyzed. The changes with the greatest impact found in this research study include personal strength, new possibilities and a new assessment of life that attest to a change in self-perception. A change was also observed in interpersonal relationships with improvement in social interactions. Finally, an increase or strengthening in the beliefs of the participants was found, which indicates moderate levels of spiritual growth. |
