“…Maladaptive coping does not encourage meaning-making practices that promote posttraumatic growth; however, the relationship between maladaptive coping and posttraumatic growth remains unclear. For example, some research has found a significant inverse relationship between the two variables (e.g., Kalaitzaki et al, 2023), some has found no relationship (e.g., Kirby et al, 2011), and others have found a positive relationship (e.g., Isguder et al, 2018). Specific maladaptive coping strategies may have different relationships with posttraumatic growth.…”

Correctional officers work in a stressful environment and are exposed to elevated levels of critical incidents. Such exposure can lead to negative psychological outcomes like burnout. However, positive psychological experiences including well-being and posttraumatic growth are also possible under such adverse conditions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore predictors of burnout, well-being, and posttraumatic growth in a sample of correctional officers ( N = 142). The results of multiple regression analyses indicated that age, workplace adversity, and resilience were significant predictors of correctional officer burnout. A sense of workplace belongingness and the use of adaptive coping strategies were significant positive predictors of well-being and posttraumatic growth. Trait resilience and the receipt of social support were additional significant positive predictors of well-being. These results highlight the importance of individual, interpersonal, and organizational factors in promoting positive health outcomes, preventing negative health outcomes, and providing avenues for staff support.

“…The differences in PTSD symptoms between SB and EM may have been due to the greater physical trauma and perceived risk in SB, as well as the differences in prenatal attachment and the loss becoming more tangible as time progressed in pregnancy [ 70 ]. Previous studies have reported PTG in mothers following SB [ 71 ], miscarriage [ 72 ], and pregnancy loss in general [ 60 ]. However, this is the first study we are aware of that explicitly compared PTG in a SB and EM population.…”

Comparing posttraumatic growth in mothers after stillbirth or early miscarriage

The possibility of posttraumatic growth in the aftermath of pregnancy loss has received limited attention to date. This study investigated posttraumatic growth in mothers following stillbirth compared to early miscarriage. It was hypothesised that mothers following stillbirth will demonstrate more posttraumatic growth, challenge to assumptive beliefs, and disclosure than mothers following early miscarriage. The study also sought to understand how theoretically-derived variables of the Model of Growth in Grief (challenge to assumptive beliefs and disclosure) explained unique variance in posttraumatic growth when key factors were controlled for. One-hundred and twenty women who had experienced a stillbirth (N = 57) or early miscarriage (N = 63) within the last two to six years completed validated questionnaires in an online survey relating to posttraumatic growth and key variables relevant to emotional adjustment post-bereavement. Participants who had experienced a stillbirth demonstrated significantly higher levels of posttraumatic growth, posttraumatic stress symptoms, perinatal grief, disclosure, challenge to assumptive beliefs and rumination than participants who had experienced an early miscarriage (Cohen’s d ranged .38-.94). In a hierarchical stepwise regression analysis, challenge to assumptive beliefs alone predicted 17.5% of the variance in posttraumatic growth. Intrusive and deliberate rumination predicted an additional 5.5% of variance, with urge to talk, reluctance to talk, and actual self-disclosure predicting a further 15.3%. A final model including these variables explained 47.9% of the variance in posttraumatic growth. Interventions targeting challenge to assumptive beliefs, disclosure, and rumination are likely to be clinically useful to promote psychological adjustment in mothers who have experienced stillbirth and early miscarriage.

“…The sample size was justified with a power analysis in some studies (Chung & Reed, 2017;Tavoli et al, 2018;Farren et al, 2016;Kulathilaka et al, 2016;Gravensteen et al, 2012;Isguder et al, 2018;Filippi et al, 2007), whilst others obtained a large sample from population studies and may have considered power issues (Lewkowitz et al, 2019;Prost et al, 2012;Surkan et al, 2016;Jacob et al, 2017). Of the studies that reported response rates, the number of women who declined to respond or participate ranged from 5.9% (He et al, 2019) to 68.5% (Gravensteen et al, 2012).…”

“…The timing of mental health assessments following perinatal loss also varied significantly between the included papers. While some studies measured mental health outcomes the day following loss (Ng et al, 2017;Isguder et al, 2018), another performed assessments at any time within 7 years following loss (Schwerdtfeger & Shreffler, 2009). This indeterminate time variable not only resulted in a generalised analysis of mental health outcomes, but also limited the scope for analysis of the longitudinal impact of loss on mental health.…”
