Abstract :
The relationship between stressful events, psychological wellbeing, and life satisfaction among flood survivors was examined in this study. The study used a correlational research design and a sample of 200 participants (N=200). People who experienced flood included (n=145) females and (n=55) males. Data from affected rural areas in Dera Ismail Khan Districts, such as Thata, Parova, Band Kurai, etc., were collected using purposeful sampling. Standardized self-report instruments including the Impact of events scale, Ryff’s psychological wellbeing scale and satisfaction with life scale were used. The study hypothesis was tested using the Pearson correlational coefficient, simple linear regression, and t-test. The findings demonstrated a strong negative correlation between stressful events, psychological wellbeing and life satisfaction. Additionally, stressful events predicted 18% of the variance in psychological wellbeing, according to basic linear regression analysis. However, it explained 11% of the variance in life satisfaction. Furthermore, an independent-sample t-test revealed that women expressed more stressful events than men. The study has important practical implications by providing emotional, social, and psychological support networks can help to reduce the stress and enhance their psychological well-being among flood effected survivors.
