The Psychological Capital and Anxiety Felt by Post-Market Fire Disaster Victims
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Traditional markets are a financial resource for traders. Fire
disasters at the traditional markets will have a bad effect in terms of generating both
financial and psychological problems. There is a lack of studies about the
psychological problems experienced by traditional market fire victims. The aim of
this study is to identify the correlation of psychological capital (hope, self-efficacy,
resilience, and optimism) with the anxiety level among the victims of market fire
disasters in Central Jakarta.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional approach with a non-probability
sampling method. This study involved 174 market fire victims from Central Jakarta.
The independent variables were psychological capital, which includes hope, self-
efficacy, resilience, and optimism. The dependent variable was anxiety level. The
instruments used the Hope scale, the General Self Efficacy scale, The 14-item
Resilience scale (RS-14), the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) scale and the
Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale. The data analysis used an Independent T-Test,
Chi-Square, and multiple logistic regression prediction modeling.
Results: The more kiosks burned, the more that the informant’s anxiety increased
by about4.845 times after applying a control factor of self-efficacy and optimism
with a Wald value of 23.146.
Conclusion: Psychological capital (self-efficacy and optimism) have a significant
correlation with anxiety in the market fire disaster victims. Good self-efficacy and
optimism can reduce the level of anxiety felt. This study highlighted that
psychological capital is a part of the disaster assessment as the basis for providing
disaster nursing interventions
