Flooding is Malaysia's recurrent and devastating natural disaster, impacting lives, livelihoods, and community well-being. Floods significantly disrupt everyday life and have a profound impact on mental health as people struggle with stress, anxiety and trauma. Particularly at risk are those exposed to recurrent flooding, who often face ongoing emotional challenges that can lead to depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and significant psychological distress. Thus, this study examines the role of community resilience in mitigating the mental health challenges associated with recurrent flooding. It aims to analyse the psychological themes that emerge from the experience of flood victims, focusing on their social resilience. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through 8 journal articles from Google Scholar related to the psychological effects of flood victims. A thematic analysis was conducted using ATLAS.ti software version 24 provided key insights highlighting the influence of coping mechanisms on resilience, the pivotal role of community spirit and social support, the significance of self-efficacy and empowerment, the urgency need for improved coping strategies. The study systematically identified and analysed information and citations pertaining to coping mechanisms by utilizing three primary keywords: "coping mechanisms," "coping strategies," and "resilience," all within the context of flood-related events. This research contributes to the understanding of coping mechanisms in disaster contexts promoting the adoption of effective coping strategies and strengthening community support systems to enhance the recovery capacity of flood victims.
