“…Third, this study found that North Korean adolescent defectors’ self-disclosure helped them relieve their sense of atrophy and restore their self-confidence, ultimately leading to growth. This is consistent with previous studies insisting that the self-opening of traumatized people significantly affects growth by activating the purification function that provides psychological stability and the cognitive function that induces objective problem-solving (S. Y. Kim & Oh, 2018; Linley & Joseph, 2004).…”

Therefore, realistic interventions are needed to reduce the level of self-concealment of North Korean defectors and to provide opportunities for self-disclosure (Ryu & Yang, 2021), which would lead to their growth.…”

Objective: This study aimed to explore the posttraumatic growth (PTG) experiences of North Korean adolescent refugees. The qualitative context of PTG experiences and influencing factors was explored based on the experiences vividly described by North Korean adolescent refugees. Method: I recruited participants for a qualitative case study, targeting "high-growth type" and "low-growth type" adolescents classified through latent profile analysis. A 1:1 in-depth interview was conducted with five high-growth and four low-growth adolescents who agreed to participate in the study. Results: Their PTG appeared to coexist with posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms such as anxiety and depression. In addition, the PTG of North Korean refugee adolescents was particularly remarkable in the areas of "personal strength" and "relating to others." The influencing factors of PTG were described in the qualitative contexts of "constructive rumination process," "self-disclosure," "peer network from both South and North Korea," and "role of significant others." Conclusions: This study confirmed that North Korean adolescent refugees actively strive for growth after trauma. In order to lead their PTG better, specific interventions are required for intentional rumination process, human support resources, and self-opening that affect PTG. This study has academic value in that it compares and verifies the factors affecting PTG by interviewing high-and low-growth adolescents. Clinical Impact StatementThis study promotes a broader understanding of the posttraumatic experiences of trauma survivors, including North Korean adolescent refugees, and provides effective intervention strategies and plans in clinical settings.

Aim Nurses working in intensive care units are repeatedly exposed to trauma (e.g., verbal or physical abuse by confused patients, and unexpected death). However, after experiencing traumatic events, not all intensive care unit nurses develop psychopathological issues, including posttraumatic stress disorder. Therefore, this study aims to examine the level of posttraumatic growth and psychosocial factors such as posttraumatic stress symptoms, deliberate rumination, wisdom, and self‐compassion to predict posttraumatic growth in Korean intensive care unit nurses. Methods A total of 156 intensive care unit nurses participated in this cross‐sectional survey. Posttraumatic growth, posttraumatic stress symptoms, deliberate rumination, wisdom, and self‐compassion were measured using validated self‐report scales, and data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Result Posttraumatic growth was found to be comparatively low in intensive care unit nurses, while multiple regression showed that positive self‐compassion was the most significant predictor for posttraumatic growth, followed by wisdom, age, and deliberate rumination. All together four variables explained 30% of the variance in posttraumatic growth. Conclusion Findings from this study suggest that intensive care unit nurses' posttraumatic growth may be enhanced by increasing positive self‐compassion, wisdom, and deliberate rumination. Therefore, a paradigm shift focusing on possible positive pathways, such as development of mental health programs to improve posttraumatic growth for intensive care unit nurses is required rather than focusing on management of posttraumatic stress disorder. The results of this study could provide theoretical guidance to seek more effective and integrated intervention strategies for intensive care unit nurses.
