“…Although there is limited research that has linked PTG to career development, one study found that PTG moderated the relationship between trauma and CA among university students, suggesting growth after trauma may play an important role that enables individuals to become more adaptive in their careers (Prescod and Zeligman, 2018). The empowering property of CA was also found in a more recent study where CA mediated the relationship between personality traits (openness, neuroticism and conscientiousness) and PTG among adolescents coping with trauma (Salimi et al, 2022). In a recent study that explored the relationship between PF, CA and wellbeing among adults (mean age = 26.43 with 45.58% being students), PF was a significant predictor of CA, and CA mediated the relationship between PF and well-being (Russo et al, 2023).…”

BackgroundDespite promising emerging evidence on the protective properties and interrelationships of posttraumatic growth, career adaptability and psychological flexibility, no studies have reported interventions that promote these positive personal resources among higher education students. Nurturing these positive personal resources in future interventions is recommended to holistically address students’ developmental, academic and career-related challenges associated with major transitions. This paper describes (a) the rationale for and development of a tailored growth-based career construction psychosocial intervention, ‘Sailing through Life and My Career Path’ (SLCP) for higher education students; and (b) a mixed-method non-randomised pre-post study to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed psychosocial intervention in achieving positive participant outcomes.Methods and analysisOver a 12-week period, higher education students will be recruited to take part in group and independent learning activities that are tailored to nurture positive personal resources to overcome challenges related to developmental, academic and career-related transitions. Quantitative data will be collected before and after the intervention and will be analysed using SPSS v26. Follow-up semi-structured interviews with participants (students), interventionists (group facilitators), and administrators will be conducted to explore perceptions of the intervention, to understand its process of change, and to determine its feasibility and acceptability in the higher education setting. All interviews will be transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis.DiscussionBy filling in a gap in existing intervention research and practice, the proposed study serves to generate new knowledge and insights by evaluating the effectiveness of a tailored psychosocial intervention that responds to the complex needs associated with major life transitions of higher education students.

“…This inventory is a useful tool in determining how individuals effectively cope with the effects of trauma by reconstructing or strengthening their perception of themselves, others, and the meaning of the events in which they participated/witnessed. 21,24,25,26,27 People who experienced PTG "lived", integrated and reformulated their experiences, which allowed them to recognize the potential benefits of surviving the trauma. New values appeared in the lives of these people, the relationships they built were much more deep and nourishing, even though sometimes more difficult to obtain.…”

“…Posttraumatic growth, which occurs simultaneously with the formation of a young person, can help build self-esteem, drive academic achievements on many levels, and even lead to redefining and reevaluating life in harmony with oneself. 26 Another social group worth discussing are people who have previously experienced trauma, for whom the experience of war is not the first difficult experience. Such people may have learned coping strategies earlier, making them less likely to experience negative reactions and better able to cope with the current situation.…”

Russia's aggression against Ukraine is undoubtedly a tragic event that will bring various, often difficult to predict, consequences at many levels of functioning. Certainly, the mental health of war victims faces many challenges. The mental health crisis that occurs during war is a public health problem.28 One of the main disorders that appear in people directly or indirectly related to war is PTSD. It arises as a result of experiencing extremely dangerous, terrifying events that go beyond one's ability to cope and is manifested by symptoms such as: obsessive, persistent re-experiencing of traumatic events, avoidance of factors causing a "return" to traumatic memories, excessive arousal and a sense of constant threats.8, 10 Many factors influence the occurrence of PTSD. It is extremely important to look at the reasons that make it difficult to obtain support. mental health and improving the support system. Ukrainian children and youth deserve special attention here. A developing young society must face particularly great challenges, and it is their mental well-being that guarantees better development of the entire nation. Every effort must be made to ensure that citizens of a country at war receive adequate support. We have many methods of help, from basic emergency support, through a wide range of psychotherapy, to medications in the most severe cases. Additionally, the knowledge of the existence of a phenomenon such as post-traumatic growth may give hope and motivation to act to people in mental crisis struggling with symptoms of PTSD. However, the war continues and there will be more and more victims struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health disorders. We cannot determine at this point how much damage this conflict will cause. However, it is worth acting now to prevent and limit the tragic consequences of the situation in which Ukraine finds itself.

The concept of career adaptability emerged from the broader field of career development theory and has received increasing attention in the past two decades. To measure career adaptability, there are different scale development studies in the literature, but the most widely used and preferred one is the Career Adapt-abilities Scale developed by Savickas and Porfeli. Therefore, in the present study, the general reliability of the Career Adapt-abilities Scale was measured through meta-analysis. One hundred forty nine study ( N = 82519) were included in the analyses. For the CAAS overall score, the average reliability coefficient among the 171 reliability estimations was high. However, reliability estimates in the studies included in the research show high heterogeneity. As a result of the moderator analysis, it was concluded that reliability estimates of these scores differ by item level, culture, language, category of items, different forms of CAAS, age, and SD. Regarding the application of the CAAS in research, the consequences of these findings are discussed in light of the relevant literature.
