“…Non-work-related Demographic Factors were also identified. Three articles found that Age influenced PTG, with older individuals experiencing higher PTG [ 53 , 63 , 69 ]. Specifically, Lee and Kim [ 63 ] found that older caregivers with a religious affiliation experienced greater PTG after patient death and Okoli and Seng [ 70 ] found that compared to those in the 18–25-year category, those aged between 36–50 had higher personal strength scores.…”

“…This relationship appears to be the case even when taking into account other factors such as perceived social support and coping styles [ 61 ]. In the study conducted by Lee and Kim [ 63 ], psychological suffering in terms of expanding self-consciousness, change in values and spiritual sublimation had a positive correlation with PTG.…”

Post-traumatic growth (PTG) research is flourishing across various disciplines; however, it is only emerging in healthcare. Recently, a flurry of studies assessed PTG among healthcare professionals. However, to date, no systematic review has identified the factors that predict their experiences of PTG among healthcare professionals. The current paper aims to address this gap. Of 126 papers, 27 were selected for this systematic review. The analysis identified a range of demographic, individual (work-related and personal), interpersonal and environmental factors that contributed to healthcare professionals’ experiences of PTG. Analysis of findings offers a novel perspective on individual factors by dividing them into personal and work-related factors. Results also highlight a variety of psychological interventions that can be used in healthcare to cultivate PTG. In addition, the gaps in current research, implications for further research, policy and practice that can facilitate the experience of PTG among healthcare professionals are discussed.

“…During this thought process, no further study is found to have been made, including the nurses' PTG levels. When the studies on nurses' development are examined in the literature, the PTGI average score seems to be between; 64.8-78.1 (Beck and Casavant, 2020;Hamama-Raz et al, 2020a;Hamama-Raz et al, 2020b;Lee and Kim, 2020;Okoli et al, 2021). Based on these findings, it can be stated that the PTGI scores of the nurses in our study were below the average.…”

Objective: It is known that COVID-19 pandemic causes high levels of acute stress disorder, anxiety, burnout syndrome, depression and, post-traumatic stress disorder in health professionals. In addition, it has been revealed that nurses working with COVID-19 patients are more negatively affected by this process. Actually, experienced traumatic events do not only lead to negative changes in people. On the contrary, some people also experience positive alterations after traumatic events, which affect their lives in various areas. This study was conducted to determine the post-traumatic growth of the nurses struggling with COVID-19. Methods: The research has been made as a descriptive study with the 559 nurses working in COVID-19 pandemic clinics between January-March 2021 in Turkey. The data of the research were collected in an online survey. Results: Post-traumatic growth inventory total score of the nurses is found as 53.95±18.89. There is a medium to strong (0.61-0.94) positive correlation between post-traumatic growth inventory total score and sub-dimension scores. Conclusion: In literature, when other studies which examined the nurses’ post-traumatic growth levels are checked, it can be said that; in our study, nurses’ post-traumatic growth levels remained below the average. It is recommended that studies evaluating nurses' post-traumatic growth levels should be carried out at regular intervals and centers that will provide holistic support to nurses to support their positive development should be expanded.

“…However, patient death experiences may also contribute to positive outcomes. Among 254 Korean nurses, nursing assistants, social workers, and care workers, the psychological suffering that they experienced after patient deaths was found to be positively linked to posttraumatic growth [ 10 ].…”

Background Patient deaths are impactful events for professional caregivers in both their professional and personal lives. The present study aims to explore how both subjective and objective patient death experiences are related to various aspects of professional quality of life (ProQOL) among physicians and nurses. Methods Secondary analyses of cross-sectional data were conducted, and 306 Chinese physicians and nurses whose most recent patient death experience was more than one month prior were included. Objective and subjective patient death experiences were measured based on the number of past patient deaths and the Accumulated Global Changes (AGC) subscale of the Professional Bereavement Scale, respectively. ProQOL was measured with the Professional Quality of Life Scale. Regressions were run following bivariate analyses. Results The number of past patient deaths was not significantly linked with any of the three ProQOL scores in either the bivariate analyses or regressions. Meanwhile, higher AGC scores were associated with higher burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion satisfaction scores after participants’ age, occupation (physician/nurse), department, work experience, job commitment, and sense of mission were controlled. Conclusion Subjective rather than objective past patient death experiences link significantly with all three aspects of physicians’ and nurses’ ProQOL. The more professional caregivers think that they have been changed by all past patient deaths in their career, the more they experience burnout and secondary traumatic stress, but, the more satisfied they are with their job and the helping itself.
