Abstract

Purpose: The study examined the psychometric properties of the Greek posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI) among healthcare workers and general population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The Greek versions of the PTGI, the Brief COPE, and the Brief Resilience scale were administered to 2163 participants from the general population and 1837 healthcare workers. Results: The five-factor structure was tested separately in the two samples and presented a comparable good fit to the data. Then it was tested in the combined sample against the single-factor structure and the five-factor structure showed a slightly better fit to the data. The PTGI showed good reliability (Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, inter-item correlations, corrected item-total correlations, and scale-total correlations), convergent validity (AVE values and interscale correlations), discriminant validity (HTMT), and concurrent validity (correlation between PTGI-Spiritual Change and COPE Religion). Discussion: The Greek version of the PTGI appears to be a psychometrically sound instrument for measuring PTG during COVID-19 among Greeks.

COVID-19大流行期间希腊版PTGI的心理测量学评估

目的：本研究检测了COVID-19大流行期间医护人员和普通人群的希腊创伤后成长量表（PTGI）的心理测量特征。方法：对来自普通人群的2163名参与者和1837名医护人员进行希腊版本的PTGI，简要COPE和简要弹性量表。结果：五因素结构分别在两个样本中进行了测试，并呈现出相当好的拟合数据。然后在组合样本中对单因素结构进行测试，五因素结构与数据的拟合程度略好。PTGI具有良好的信度（Cronbach’s alpha、复合信度、项目间相关、校正项目-总相关和量表-总相关）、收敛效度（AVE值和量表间相关）、判别效度（HTMT）和并发效度（PTGI- spiritual Change与COPE Religion之间的相关）。讨论：希腊版本的PTGI似乎是一种心理测量学上健全的工具，用于测量希腊人在COVID-19期间的PTG。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
