Objective:
It has been suggested that while some individuals undergo growth following traumatic experiences, others do not. This study investigates the correlation between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the development of posttraumatic growth (PTG) among Syrian refugees.
Method:
Participants were asked to complete the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, and sociodemographic questions. A total of 356 participants (77.5% females with mean age 24.3 ± 7.3 years) filled out the questionnaires.
Results:
The results of logistic regression demonstrated that there is a strong correlation between PTSD and PTG. Individuals who suffer from PTSD are more likely to experience and benefit from PTG (OR = 29.1; 95% CI [3.9, 215.8]).
Conclusions:
It is essential that communities and organizations recognize these problems, work to support PTG, and offer comprehensive mental health care to those affected by war and the stresses that accompany it. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
