Abstract
We examined whether the salutogenic nature of resilience is the pathway of association, as well as a moderating factor, between spirituality and vicarious posttraumatic growth (VPTG). Two hundred Nigerian orthopedic nurses completed the Resilience Scale (RS-14), Spiritual Involvement and Belief Scale-Revised (SIBS-R), and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory-Short Form (PTGI-SF). We found that greater spirituality and resilience were directly associated with high VPTG. Resilience helped to explain (mediated) the relationship between spirituality and VPT such that spirituality was linked to VPTG by virtue of high resilience. Moderation analysis indicated that resilience was most robustly associated with increased VPTG for nurses with high spirituality compared to those with moderate and low levels of spirituality. Findings may be relevant in integrative/complementary approaches to trauma work.
