The present study examined the effect of Psycho social intervention on women survivor of the super cyclone. The sample consisted of survivors of the 1999 Super Cyclone. Three scales were being used for assessment. The experimental group 211 women and in control group 30 women were taken to conduct this research. The psychological first aid and psycho-social care services that formed a major part of intervention worked to the advantage of the disaster-affected subjects in that their energy level increased, the somatic complains were reduced and the experience of depressive mood and thought went down and their self-evaluation of their quality of life in the family as well as in the community turned to be positive for both males and females. One noticeable aspect was that the control group also gained partly because health care services were also provided to them and partly because of the “spread-off effect” of intervention as they were sharing the same community with the experimental group. The use of substance was not marked in this sample as the stress impact after disaster. Hence, it is observed that women and more constructive and positive attitude towards re building and became in true sense from “Victim to Victors”, “journey was not smooth but not impossible” as expressed by a survivor. The findings revealed significant effect of intervention on the women resilience building. Positive reconstructive sustainable wellbeing was marked significantly. Because of the “Placebo effect” on the same community life shared by the experimental and the control group there was a “spread-off effect” of the benefits of intervention to some extent for the control group as well.
