Objective This is a broad review examining the relationships between religiosity and the psychological outcomes of trauma. Previous studies showed that some constructs of religiosity are associated with lower severity of symptoms of mental disorders, whereas others, for instance, negative religious coping, predict deteriorated mental health. Method A systematic review of peer‐reviewed quantitative studies was conducted to examine the patterns of relationships between religiosity and psychological outcomes of trauma, potential causal relationships, and specific effect of religiosity on the outcomes on trauma. Results A total of 79 quantitative studies were included. The majority focused on military trauma or various types of traumatic exposure in the general population. Most of the studies employed a cross‐sectional design. Conclusions The associations between religiosity and psychological outcomes of trauma depend on the concept of religion used in a study, type of trauma. There is not enough evidence to support the causal effect of religiosity.

“…In a study examining factors that increase posttraumatic growth in individuals exposed to traumatic life events, counselling from health professionals was found to increase posttraumatic growth (Jeon et al., ). When a person diagnosed with a mental disorder is admitted to a clinic, he spends most of his/her time with a nurse as the health professional.…”

“…Like stress coping skills, another factor contributing to posttraumatic growth is seeking support and counselling from health professionals (Garland, Carlson, Cook, Lansdell, & Speca, ; Jeon, Park, & Bernstein, ; Jeon, Yoo, Kim, & Lee, ). The psychiatric nurse can help the patient recover from traumatic life events by recognizing that the individual has been traumatized or is still living a traumatic life event and by providing care for his/her needs.…”

“…In summary, although it is recognized that suffering a mental disorder is a traumatic life event and that patients diagnosed with mental disorders can grow from the event (Çağlayan, ; Garland et al., ; Jeon et al., ; Jordan et al., ; Pietruch & Jobson, ), no study has been conducted into whether or not stress coping skills and nursing care perceptions affect the posttraumatic growth of individuals with mental disorders. For this reason, the study was conducted to determine the effect of coping skills and nursing care perceptions on posttraumatic growth in mental disorders.…”

Introduction Although it is recognized that suffering a mental illness is a traumatic experience, the fact that this can lead to posttraumatic growth and the variables that may affect the situation are rarely discussed in the literature. Aim This study was conducted to determine the effects of coping styles and nursing care perceptions on posttraumatic growth in mental disorders. Method The descriptive study was conducted at a psychiatric clinic with a personal information form and three-scale test. Results In the study, completed with 122 psychiatric inpatients, it was found that patients were using effective methods to cope with stress, were satisfied with nursing care and had high posttraumatic growth. Moreover, it was found that effective coping styles and satisfaction with nursing care positively affected the posttraumatic growth level of patients. Discussion The results support the proposition that using effective coping styles and seeking professional support after traumatic life events influence posttraumatic growth levels. Implications for practice Psychiatric nurses should be aware of the fact that developing a mental disorder is a traumatic life event after which posttraumatic growth can occur. They should encourage posttraumatic growth by teaching effective coping methods, providing psychiatric care and using psychosocial interventions such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy and eye movement desensitization.

“…Theme 1: PTG is a new concept for nurses PTG is a form of positive change from past experience that occurs as a result of struggling with traumatic events such as disaster, chronic illness, or rape [10,[14][15][16]. These changes may include change of perceptions, feelings, and behavior towards a more positive notion after a traumatic incident [9,10].…”

Nurses’ perception about posttraumatic growth (PTG) after natural disasters

et al. 2020

Background Natural disasters have become the most common, profound, and universal type of catastrophes over decades. Natural disasters can lead to both negative and positive impacts on survivors. Nurses have an important role in fostering posttraumatic growth (PTG) as a positive psychological adjustment amongst the survivors. However, nurses may have different perceptions of their roles in PTG. Such differences may result in various approaches in supporting PTG as best as possible. Therefore, nurses’ perception regarding PTG needs to be explored. Method This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. A total of fourteen nurse participants were included across five different cities in Indonesia, including Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed with a thematic method. Results The study revealed three themes, as follows (1) PTG is a new concept for nurses, (2) PTG is a condition that needs to be sought by volunteers, and (3) PTG means human-God and human-human positive relationships. Conclusion The study highlights the importance of improving nurses’ understanding regarding PTG so that they can deliver appropriate strategies or interventions to support survivors in gaining positive changes after experiencing a natural disaster. The study recommends that knowledge and skills related to PTG should be introduced in undergraduate nursing program.
