Abstract

Posttraumatic growth (PTG) is a relatively new field of study that focuses on the positive psychological changes that can occur because of traumatic events. A change in mindset has taken place, moving away from solely concentrating on the damaging effects of trauma and towards examining the possibility for positive outcomes. Mostly PTG has been well-documented across different types of traumas, such as calamities and serious illnesses, but the specific mechanisms by which it occurs in the context of armed conflict are not yet fully understood. Therefore, the current scoping review findings present an overview of PTG that is associated primarily with the aftermath of armed conflict. However, there may be a lack of consensus on how to define and measure PTG, which makes it difficult to compare findings across studies. Despite these limitations, the extant research suggests that exposure to armed conflict is a risk factor for PTG and that interventions and support for individuals affected by armed conflict may be necessary to promote resilience and recovery from trauma. The present study findings have important implications for trauma-based therapy and can potentially impact mental health professionals for a better understanding of PTG.

武装冲突引起的创伤后创伤成长的系统范围审查。
创伤后成长(PTG)是一个相对较新的研究领域,主要关注创伤事件可能导致的积极心理变化。人们的心态发生了变化,不再仅仅关注创伤的破坏性影响,而是开始审视积极结果的可能性。大多数PTG已经在不同类型的创伤中得到了充分的记录,例如灾难和严重疾病,但它在武装冲突背景下发生的具体机制尚未完全了解。因此,目前的范围审查结果概述了主要与武装冲突后果相关的PTG。然而,关于如何定义和测量PTG可能缺乏共识,这使得很难比较不同研究的结果。尽管存在这些限制,现有的研究表明,暴露于武装冲突是PTG的一个风险因素,对受武装冲突影响的个人的干预和支持可能是必要的,以促进创伤的复原力和恢复。目前的研究结果对创伤治疗具有重要意义,并可能影响心理健康专业人员更好地理解PTG。
