The COVID-19 pandemic had been a highly stressful event that has negatively impacted peruvian population. For this reason, it’s important to increase the knowledge of this traumatic event. This research aimed to analyze the association between coping strategies, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms (PTSD), and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in 116 adults from 18 to 60 years (M= 31.71; DE=12.15) that reside in Peru during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COPE Inventory (Carver et al., 1989), Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) (Weiss & Marmar, 1997) and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996) were used for the measurement. According to the general objective, results show a direct association between avoidant strategies and PTSD, whereas responses oriented to confront the event were linked to PTG. Furthermore, regression analyses were performed finding the predictive role of coping strategies of focus and release emotions, denial and mental disengagement in PTSD (R² =.34, p< .001). Finally, differences were found according to certain sociodemographic variables (sex, age, marital status) and others related to COVID-19. The possible explanations of these findings are discussed, as well as the limitations of the study and future lines to be followed.
