“…Alternatively, two previous studies investigating distress following both a terrorist attack62 and severe breast cancer63 have demonstrated a curvilinear association between PTSD and PTG, whereby the relationship follows an inverted ‘U’-shaped curve. Similar outcomes have been drawn in military samples64 and may be at play here.…”

In this same study, a curvilinear relationship was found between PTSD and benefit finding such that benefit finding was related to moderate levels of PTSD symptom severity.…”

“…Much of PTG research is based on a broad range of trauma event types, from cancer survivors12 to survivors of terrorist atrocities 13. These may not be comparable with military traumas due to differences such as the repeated exposure to trauma common to military contexts or the lack of agency associated with acting in response to military command, so it is possible that findings from much of the extant research base may not be generalisable to the veteran population.…”
