Aim: The relationship between posttraumatic growth and meaning and purpose of life during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic was determined in this study. Methods: This was a descriptive study using a correlational survey model. The sample consisted of 1264 participants aged 18-65 years of age recruited using snowballing sampling. Data were collected online using the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and the Meaning and Purpose of Life Scale. Results: There was a positive correlation between posttraumatic growth and meaning and purpose life scores. Posttraumatic growth was a predictor variable that explained 12.2% of the total variance of the meaning and purpose of life. Conclusion: Health professionals are responsible for protecting public mental health, identifying risk groups, and planning interventions accordingly during and after such outbreaks as COVID-19.
