This qualitative, constructivist grounded theory study explored the posttraumatic growth experiences of Middle Eastern refugees resettled in the US and currently living in San Diego County. The principal researcher conducted 23 research interviews with seven couples and 16 individuals ranging in age from 25 to 67 years old, who were from four different Middle Eastern countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. The research questions were centered on the following overarching inquiry: How does this particular refugee population understand, experience, process, overcome, and grow from their refugee trauma experiences? The findings of this study expand the existing dominant discourses pertaining to both trauma and refugees. More specifically, the findings were used to delineate the Refugee Posttraumatic Growth Model, which outlines a process through which these Middle Eastern refugees experienced posttraumatic growth. This model entails an overarching theme of forward movement, and the following five specific growth themes: context awareness, tolerating uncertainty, spiritual/religious attunement, awareness of others, and integrating into society. The Refugee Posttraumatic Growth Model can serve as a tool and or guide to help those who work with refugees or other populations exposed to trauma to facilitate a more empowering posttraumatic narrative rooted in growth experiences.
