Abstract

Historical trauma has been associated with many health and social issues. However, there is little understanding of how American Indian (AI) youth cope with historical trauma. Sense of Coherence (SOC) provides a promising framework for studying the relationship between resiliency and historical trauma, as it is a theorized mechanism that helps individuals cope with ongoing stress. A multi-method study examining the potential relationship between SOC and historical trauma revealed that higher levels of SOC predicted fewer historical trauma-related symptoms and provided rich detail about how an AI youth sample conceptualized stress and coping. Implications and future directions are discussed.

美国印第安青年的一致性意识与历史创伤的关系探讨。

历史创伤与许多健康和社会问题有关。然而，人们对美国印第安人(AI)青年如何应对历史创伤知之甚少。连贯性感(SOC)作为一种理论化的机制，可以帮助个体应对持续的压力，为研究弹性与历史创伤之间的关系提供了一个有希望的框架。一项考察SOC与历史创伤之间潜在关系的多方法研究显示，较高的SOC水平预示着较少的历史创伤相关症状，并为AI青年样本如何概念化压力和应对提供了丰富的细节。讨论了影响和未来的发展方向。
