飓风玛丽亚是波多黎各历史上最大的灾难，影响了美国各地的波多黎各社区。我们采用扎根理论方法对灾后12个月（n = 5）和17个月（n = 7）从波多黎各迁移到东北部社区的成年人进行了焦点小组讨论。还与9名与流离失所的飓风幸存者一起工作的社区倡导者进行了重要的线人访谈。新兴主题反映了集体创伤后的叙事和社会认同过程。调查结果强调需要建立在社区力量基础上的及时和长期的灾害应对措施，而不是让社区独自应对。我们讨论了如何将小组讲故事纳入灾后研究是一种文化敏感的做法，可以促进幸存者的复原力。
Hurricane Maria was the largest disaster in Puerto Rico's history, affecting Puerto Rican communities throughout the United States. We conducted focus groups using a grounded theory approach with adults displaced from Puerto Rico to a northeastern community 12 (n = 5) and 17 months (n = 7) postdisaster. Key informant interviews were also conducted with nine community advocates working with displaced hurricane survivors. Emerging themes reflect narrative and social identity processes following collective trauma. Findings emphasize the need for timely and long-term disaster responses that build on community strengths without leaving communities to cope on their own. We discuss how incorporating group storytelling in postdisaster research is a culturally sensitive practice that can promote resiliency among survivors.
