The aim of this study is to explore the relationship of Post traumatic Growth with Sense of Coherence. The associations between the three domains of Sense of Coherence and the five domains of Post traumatic Growth have been examined. The sample consisted of 100 trauma victims, 30 years and above. In addition to demographic questionnaire, the following measures were administered: the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC) and the Post traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI). Findings suggest that Post traumatic Growth is associated with higher levels of SOC, particularly the dimension of Meaningfulness.
