“…Considering the samples employed in the studies, the number of mothers ( n = 922) far outweighed fathers ( n = 389). This is because four of the included studies examined a mother-only sample (Boztepe, et al, 2015 ; Miles et al, 1999 ; Rozen et al, 2018 ; Taubman-Ben-Ari et al, 2010 ). Six studies looked at mother and father data combined (Aftyka et al, 2017 ; Brelsford et al, 2020 ; Colville & Cream, 2009 ; Parker, 2016 ; Rodriguez-Rey & Alonso-Tapia, 2017 , 2018 ), and four studies examined data from mothers and fathers separately (Aftyka et al, 2020 ; Barr, 2011 , 2015 , 2016 ).…”

“…Overall, participant numbers in studies ranged from 25 to 210. A greater number of studies investigated PTG in a population of NICU parents (Aftyka et al, 2017 , 2020 ; Barr, 2011 , 2015 , 2016 ; Boztepe, et al, 2015 ; Brelsford et al, 2020 ; Miles et al, 1999 ; Parker, 2016 ; Rozen et al, 2018 ; Taubman-Ben-Ari et al, 2010 ), compared to a population of PICU parents (Colville & Cream, 2009 ; Rodriguez-Rey & Alonso-Tapia, 2017 , 2018 ).…”

“…For example, nine studies broadly investigated how different psychological and clinical factors are associated with PTG and parental adjustment following intensive care, two studies evaluated the incidence and severity of PTG amongst parents following intensive care, one study examined the risk factors associated with PTSD and PTG in these parents and finally, two studies explored psychological well-being of this population in general. The psychometric tools used to measure PTG in the studies included the following: The Post-traumatic Growth Inventory [PTGI] (Aftyka et al, 2017 , 2020 ; Barr, 2011 ; Boztepe, et al, 2015 ; Brelsford et al, 2020 ; Colville & Cream, 2009 ; Rodriguez-Rey & Alonso-Tapia, 2017 , 2018 ; Rozen et al, 2018 ; Taubman-Ben-Ari et al, 2010 ), the Positive Changes subscale of the Changes in Outlook Questionnaire [CiO-POS] (Barr, 2015 , 2016 ), the Personal Growth subscale of the Psychological Well-being Scales [PGS] (Parker, 2016 ) and a Developmental Impact Rating Scale developed by the authors for the purpose of measuring growth (Miles et al, 1999 ).…”

“…Due to variability in both the psychometric tools used, and the method of reporting, providing an estimate of the average prevalence of PTG within all study samples presented a challenge. Studies employing the PTGI measure that reported a mean total PTG demonstrated scores that ranged from 47.4 to 75.70, indicating a moderate to very high degree of PTG (Aftyka et al, 2017 , 2020 ; Barr, 2011 ; Boztepe et al, 2015 ; Brelsford et al, 2020 ; Colville & Cream, 2009 ; Rodríguez-Rey & Alonso-Tapia, 2017 , 2018 ; Rozen et al, 2018 ; Taubman-Ben-Ari et al, 2010 ).…”

“…The psychological presentation with the greatest links to PTG amongst parents was post-traumatic stress. Symptoms of post-traumatic stress, including intrusions, avoidance and hyperarousal, were found to be significantly positively associated with PTG in all the studies in which they were examined (Aftyka et al, 2017;Boztepe et al, 2015;Colville & Cream, 2009;Rodriguez-Rey & Alonso-Tapia, 2017), with particularly strong links to interpersonal and transpersonal growth uncovered (Rodriguez-Rey & Alonso-Tapia, 2017). Consistent with the available literature, Colville and Cream (2009) found the relationship between PTG and PTSD symptoms to be curvilinear; suggesting that parents experiencing a moderate level of PTSD are more likely to exhibit PTG when compared to those experiencing lower or higher levels of post-traumatic stress.…”

This systematic review aims to identify the demographic, clinical and psychological factors associated with post-traumatic growth (PTG) in parents following their child’s admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Papers published up to September 2021 were identified following a search of electronic databases (PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, PTSDpubs and EMBASE). Studies were included if they involved a sample of parents whose children were previously admitted to ICU and reported correlational data. 1777 papers were reviewed. Fourteen studies were eligible for inclusion; four were deemed to be of good methodological quality, two were poor, and the remaining eight studies were fair. Factors associated with PTG were identified. Mothers, and parents of older children, experienced greater PTG. Parents who perceived their child’s illness as more severe had greater PTG. Strong associations were uncovered between PTG and post-traumatic stress, psychological well-being and coping. PTG is commonly experienced by this population. Psychological factors are more commonly associated with PTG in comparison with demographic and clinical factors, suggesting that parents’ subjective ICU experience may be greater associated with PTG than the objective reality.

Aims: Investigating post-traumatic growth (PTG) in mothers with the experience of having a preterm newborn hospitalized in the NICU requires a valid tool. This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the Farsi version of the post-traumatic growth inventory (PTGI) in mothers with the experience of having their newborns hospitalized in the NICU. Design: This study was methodological research. Methods: In this study, 250 mothers who had newborns with a history of NICU hospitalization during the last 3 to 12 months and had visited paediatric clinics of the selected hospitals in Tehran with the aim of having their children's condition examined were selected through convenience sampling. The data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire and PTGI. The face validity, the construct validity (confirmatory factor analysis), and the internal consistency reliability of the inventory were measured using SPSS V22 and LISREL V8.8. Results: According to appropriate values for factor analysis fit indices (FI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.07, IFI = 0.94, NFI = 0.93, RFI = 0.91, NNFI = 0.93, SRMR = 0.07), 21 items and 5 factors were confirmed for this inventory. Furthermore, Cronbach's alpha coefficient of this inventory was measured as α = 0.94. Conclusion: According to favourable psychometric properties, the Farsi version of PTGI is a suitable tool for studying PTG in mothers with the experience of having preterm newborns in the NICU. Using PTGI can help nurses in planning familycentered care interventions to reduce the impact of the mental trauma caused by the preterm newborn's hospitalization in parents. Patient or Public Contribution: Mothers who had newborns with a history of NICU hospitalization during the last 3-12 months.
