“…We identified 17 studies examining PTG in parents of children with pediatric disease 5,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] (see Table 1), 7 studies that demonstrated PTG or benefit finding in children with pediatric disease [42][43][44][45][46][47][48] (see Table 2), and 2 that included both parents and pediatric patients. 49,50 We summarize the findings from these studies in the nine components of our conceptual model of SPI-PTG: (1) the nature and subjective experience of the traumatic event, (2) trauma and the disruption of a personal worldview, (3) PTG as rebuilding or reshaping this worldview, (4) elements of SPI-PTG, (5) cognitive processing underlying SPI-PTG, (6) affective processing underlying SPI-PTG, (7) posttraumatic afterevents, (8) individual characteristics affecting SPI-PTG, and (9) social support affecting SPI-PTG (see Fig.…”

Background: Pediatric medical experiences are potentially traumatic but may lead to psychological growth. Objective: The study objective was to synthesize the published literature regarding posttraumatic growth (PTG) in parents and patients with serious pediatric illness (SPI) into a conceptual model. Methods: We systematically searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsychInfo, and Sociological Abstracts in December 2012 to identify articles on stress or trauma caused by medical events with PTG as an outcome, reviewing articles pertaining to the pediatric population. We additionally reviewed articles outside pediatric medicine that described a model of PTG. Results: Of the 605 articles identified, 55 met inclusion criteria, 26 of which examined parents or pediatric patients. Parents and children may experience PTG following medical trauma through a combination of cognitive and affective processing of their subjective experience. Components of SPI-PTG are unclear, but may include greater appreciation of life, improved interpersonal relationships, greater personal strength, recognition of new possibilities in one's life course, spiritual or religious growth, and reconstruction of a positive body image. Individual characteristics, and the level of social support, may affect the likelihood that SPI-PTG will occur. SPI-PTG in siblings and other family members has not been well studied. Conclusions: SPI-PTG is an important but understudied and inadequately understood phenomenon affecting children with SPI and their family members. Research should focus on clarifying SPI-PTG domains, creating measurement instruments, assessing SPI-PTG across the pediatric age range and among family members, and improving our understanding of and ability to positively intervene regarding the cognitive processes of rumination, sense making, and benefit finding.

“…Posttraumatic growth is not simply a return to baseline from a period of suffering; instead it is an experience of improvement that, for some individuals, is deeply profound [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52].…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of participation in sports, exercise and recreation (SER) on self-esteem, depression, posttraumatic growth and quality of life (QOL) in veterans with disabilities longitudinally at four time points.Design: A convenience sample of 163 individuals (91 sports-participants and 72 non-participants) matched on disability type with a variety of disabilities took part in this longitudinal study. Variables of interest were: SER participation vs. non-participation, years of SER participation since onset of disability (less than one year, one to five years, five to ten years, and more than ten years), the type of activity they engaged in (individual activities or a combination of team and individual activities) and time (pre-event, immediately post-event, one month post-event, and three months post-event). Main outcome measures were self-esteem, depression, posttraumatic growth and QOL.Results: SER participants had significantly higher self-esteem, posttraumatic growth and QOL, and significantly lower depression scores than non-participants. There were also significant differences found between the independent variables of: time, number of years participating in SER since onset of disability and type of activity engaged in and various outcome measures studied. Conclusions:The results of this study support that participation in SER has positive effects on self-esteem, depression, posttraumatic growth, and QOL.

“…In a recent qualitative study, Salter and Stallard (2004) found that 42% of children interviewed reported that they experienced either growth in interpersonal relationships and/or greater appreciation of life after a traumatic event. These findings suggest that variability for this construct does exist for children.…”

Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to develop a coping typology of minority adolescents (M = 15.5 yrs). A multiethnic sample (n = 354) was recruited from a program aimed at serving low-income students. LPA revealed three distinct coping profiles. The first comprised adolescents who used a number of specific coping strategies at a low level (Low Generic Copers). The second comprised adolescents who emphasized active/approach strategies (e.g., planning; Active Copers). The third comprised adolescents who emphasized avoidant/passive strategies (e.g., substance abuse; Avoidant Copers). Active Copers experienced significantly less depression and more stress-related growth than Low Generic Copers. Low Generic Copers experienced significantly less depression than Avoidant Copers but also significantly less stress-related growth than Active Copers. Discussion focuses on integrating the current typology with traditional coping taxomonies.
