Abstract

Whilst previous studies have begun to explore the benefits of gratitude and hope in relation to sexual violence survivors (SVS), understanding of how this facilitates coping is still limited. This study aimed to investigate how gratitude and hope impacted wellbeing of three SVS and three support staff during COVID-19. Semi-structured interview data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), revealing two superordinate themes related to gratitude and hope. Understanding strengths-based strategies adopted by SVS and those who support them is critical when considering times of adversity. We highlight how our findings might be used in future research and practice contexts.
