可以期望灾难幸存者对他们的经历形成有意义的观点，这些观点决定了他们的恢复轨迹；因此，这些观点值得研究。如果人类自然而然地被迫从创伤经历中创造意义，那么在幸存者讨论灾难对他们生活的影响时，意义的创造应该是显而易见的。因此，对高度创伤暴露的灾难幸存者进行这项研究的目的是从他们的角度确定他们灾难经历的有意义的方面或结果。这项研究使用开放式问题对俄克拉荷马城爆炸案发生六个月后的幸存者进行了随机抽样(N=182)。对文本答复(N=650)进行汇编，由多个编码者确定主题，将答复编码到主题中，建立评价者之间的可靠性，然后对主题进行解释。六个主题被确定并归类为三个一般类别：个人愿望(重新排列生活和利他主义和自我完善的优先顺序)，与他人的联系(独立的类别/主题)，以及创造意义(对生命、宗教和精神的欣赏，以及思考生命、死亡和人性)，这些主题包含了大部分回答。这项研究的结果肯定了人类需要从创伤性灾难的经历中获得意义，并提出了基于创造意义和促进积极增长的治疗与幸存者恢复的潜在相关性。
Survivors of disasters can be expected to form meaningful perspectives on their experiences that shape their trajectories of recovery; thus, these perspectives are important to study. If humans are naturally compelled to create meaning from traumatic experiences, the creation of meaning should be evident in survivors’ discussion of the effects of the disaster in their lives. Therefore, the purpose of this study of highly trauma-exposed disaster survivors was to identify meaningful aspects or outcomes of their disaster experiences in their perspectives. This study examined a random sample (N=182) of survivors of the Oklahoma City bombing six months after the disaster using open-ended questions. Text responses (N=650) were compiled, themes identified by multiple coders, responses coded into the themes, interrater reliability established, and the themes were then interpreted. Six themes were identified and grouped into three general categories: personal aspirations (reprioritizing life and altruism and self-improvement), connection with others (a freestanding category/theme), and making meaning (appreciation for life, religion and spirituality, and contemplating life, death, and humanity), which contained the majority of the responses. The findings from this study affirm the human need to make meaning from the experience of a traumatic disaster and suggest the potential relevance to survivors’ recovery of therapies based on the creation of meaning and the promotion of positive growth.
