Abstract

The present study aimed to apply a network analysis model to provide an exploratory empirical conceptualization of dynamic networks of posttraumatic growth (PTG) symptoms in 7,434 people who experienced the death of a loved one from COVID-19 in 16 Latin American countries. The Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory: Short Form of Eight Items was used. A non-regularized network with partial correlation coefficients was estimated through the ggmModSelect algorithm. The network architecture was analyzed for each country through its local properties and global properties. The results indicated that the networks differed significantly between countries. The core dimensions in the networks were relating to others, personal strength, and life value and opportunities, which were more related dimensions that reinforce the emergence of PTG in all countries. The findings may be useful to motivate researchers and mental health professionals to consider the importance of the individual dimensions of PTG in groups of people who experienced the death of a loved one from COVID-19 in 16 Latin American countries, as well as their interrelationships.

创伤后成长维度的网络分析:对16个拉丁美洲国家因COVID-19经历亲人死亡的人的横断面研究

本研究旨在应用网络分析模型，对16个拉丁美洲国家7,434名因COVID-19而失去亲人的人的创伤后成长(PTG)症状的动态网络进行探索性实证概念化。使用创伤后成长量表:简短的八项量表。通过ggmModSelect算法估计具有偏相关系数的非正则化网络。通过其本地属性和全球属性分析了每个国家的网络架构。结果表明，不同国家之间的网络存在显著差异。网络中的核心维度是与他人、个人力量、人生价值和机会相关，这些维度在所有国家都加强了PTG的出现。这些发现可能有助于激励研究人员和心理健康专业人员考虑在16个拉丁美洲国家经历了COVID-19亲人死亡的人群中，PTG个体维度的重要性，以及他们之间的相互关系。
