• Influence of Socio-Demographic Variables/Characteristics on Psychological Trauma Resilience among Humanitarian Aid Workers in North Eastern Nigeria (2026) · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · doi

  Based on these findings, it is recommended that: 1. Organizations focus on strengthening resilience-building programs that are inclusive of all age groups rather than tailoring interventions based solely on age. 2. Emphasis should be placed on enhancing coping skills, providing continuous psychological support, and fostering strong team dynamics within humanitarian settings. Such approaches are likely to be more effective in improving resilience than age-specific strategies. 3. Future research should explore other variables that may have a more significant impact on psychological trauma resilience among humanitarian aid workers. Factors such as emotional intelligence, personality traits, organizational support, and prior exposure to trauma should be examined in greater depth. 4. Incorporating these variables into future studies will provide a more comprehensive understanding of resilience and inform the development of targeted interventions aimed at improving the well-being of humanitarian workers.
