Resumen

Antecedentes: este artículo presenta la evaluación de un modelo estructural que busca identificar predictores y mediadores de crecimiento postraumático (CPT) en personas afectadas por un desastre natural. Método: la muestra estuvo conformada por 349 hombres y mujeres adultos que vivieron el terremoto y tsunami del 27/F del 2010 en Chile. Se empleó modelamiento con ecuaciones estructurales contrastando 2 modelos predictivos de CPT. Las variables latentes fueron la subjetive severity, social sharing, rumiación intrusiva, rumiación deliberada, afrontamiento centrado en el problema y CPT. Resultados: el mejor ajuste se obtuvo con el modelo que muestra una influencia directa de la severidad subjetiva, el afrontamiento centrado en el problema y la rumiación deliberada en la presencia de CPT. El afrontamiento centrado en el problema medió la relación de la severidad subjetiva y compartir social con el CPT; a su vez, la rumiación deliberada medió la relación del afrontamiento centrado en el problema y la rumiación intrusiva con el CPT. Conclusiones: los resultados muestran el rol relevante de procesos cognitivos como la rumiación deliberada y procesos conductuales como el afrontamiento centrado en el problema en la presencia de CPT.
