“…This result was in agreement with that of other studies. 16,37,41 Wang et al 42 claimed that women, in terms of family and friends, receive more emotional support than men because their perception of emotion is more sensitive, they have closer relationships with others and they may be more willing or better able to express their personal growth experiences, which would result in long-term positive psychological adjustment. Also, these results showed the opposite association with some of the prior studies.…”

Objective: Posttraumatic growth (PTG) is a positive psychological change after challenging life events. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of positive and long-term psychological changes in people who experienced the Bam earthquake. Methods: A total of 916 adolescents were surveyed 17 years after the earthquake. Self-report questionnaires were administered to participants. A latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted to extract the subgroups of adults. Results: The LPA identified 5 meaningfully profiles that were characterized based on the pattern of PTG dimensions. The common profile was profile, which perceived very low “relating to others” dimension and medium for other PTG dimensions. Also, the results showed significant differences among gender and age and nonsignificant differences in marital status and education level among the profiles of PTG. Conclusions: For stressful situations, the different dimensions of PTG change indirectly in every person. In Bam, some patterns are seen according to PTG after 17 y. Among these dimensions, the part of “relating to others”, has the greatest change. Another conclusion is that according to a relatively high profile for 5 clusters, it seems the impact of 17 y should be less on PTG as the number of extractive patterns is approximately high for the case.

“…They occur in several areas: self-perception, perception of one's strength, relationships with others, appreciation of life, and spirituality. Previous studies confirmed PTG in people with spinal cord injury (SCI; Byra, 2016Byra, , 2019Kalpakjian et al, 2014;Kunz et al, 2017Kunz et al, , 2018Kunz et al, , 2019, and after amputation (Phelps et al, 2008;Stutts et al, 2015;Stutts & Stanaland, 2016). They focused mainly on determining potential factors predicting or facilitating the occurrence of PTG, and outcomes of PTG were analyzed to a lesser extent, referring to relationships with, for example, higher quality of life, life satisfaction, and health (Kim et al, 2016;Kunz et al, 2019).…”

Purpose/Objective: To investigate whether there is a relationship between posttraumatic growth (PTG) and forgiveness in people with physical disabilities, and whether contextual factors moderate the association. Research Method/Design: Two hundred and sixty seven persons with physical disabilities completed Polish versions of three inventories: Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Decision to Forgive Scale (DTFS), and Emotional Forgiveness Scale (EFS). The participants also assessed contextual factors of offenses, such as transgression severity, apology being offered, and quality of the relationship with the offender. The associations between the variables were examined using correlation and moderation analyses. In the moderation model, PTG was posited as a predictor, offence-specific factors as subsequent moderators, and forgiveness (decisional and emotional) as outcome variables. Results: PTG was positively associated with decisional and emotional forgiveness, and not related to contextual factors. Transgression severity, apology, and relationship quality were correlated with forgiveness. The quality of the victim-offender relationship was the only contextual variable to moderate the association between PTG and emotional forgiveness. Conclusion/Implications: PTG and forgiveness are positively related and their association is moderated by the context of the transgression to a minor extent.

“…The finding that trauma-exposed women report more PTG is not found in all populations (48). The 'caring' roles performed by paramedics may promote more awareness of benefit-finding in women.…”

IntroductionParamedics are routinely exposed to traumatic events. This study describes the rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychiatric morbidity and levels of post-traumatic growth (PTG) in New Zealand first responder paramedics, exploring a mix of demographic, professional, crewing status and exposure risk factors associated with these outcomes and their associations with core belief disruptions.MethodsA cross-sectional study recruited paramedics (N=579) working in a first responder role. Univariate and multivariate logistic and linear regressions were conducted to identify predictors of PTSD, non-specific psychiatric morbidity and PTG in trauma-exposed participants.ResultsTwo-thirds (66.3%) reported significant psychiatric morbidity, with volunteer paramedics being significantly less at risk when compared with professional paramedics (OR=0.52; 95% CI: 0.31-0.87; p<0.01). Probable PTSD was reported by 14.6% of participants. Older age reduced the odds of this (OR=0.94; 95% CI: 0.92-0.98; p<0.01) while experiencing greater disruptions in core beliefs increased the odds (OR=2.75; 95% CI: 2.00-3.77; p<0.01). Being female (t=4.70; p<0.01) and experiencing greater core belief disruption (t=7.54; p<0.01) (adjusted R2=0.27) independently contributed to PTG. ConclusionAlthough PTSD rates were typical of first responders generally, psychiatric morbidity rates were high and may be more prevalent in professional staff. Contextual and methodological factors may have influenced these outcomes. Core belief disruptions predict both negative and positive emotional states, suggesting their important role in workplace interventions.
