Abstract:

In this study, the effects of the transformative power of the difficulties and sufferings of individuals who have been boarding in Regional Boarding Primary Schools (YİBO) on the meaning of their lives are investigated. For this purpose, data were collected from 237 people who graduated from YIBOs in various regions with the survey technique. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that there is a positive relationship between the transformative power of suffering and the meaning in life. It has been seen that the transformative power of suffering positively affects the meaning in life and increases this meaning. As a result, struggling with pain and difficulties in a certain period of life provides a reconsideration of life. It can be said that this struggle can lead to the development of a different perspective on the value and importance of life and turn difficulties into meaningful gifts.
