The Impact

This quantitative study explored whether serious injuries in varsity high school or collegiate athletes could produce Posttraumatic Growth (PTG). The impact of injury (season- or career-ending) and an athlete’s highest level of competition played (varsity high school or collegiate) were examined on five elements on the 2-item Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI): (1) relating to others, (2) new possibilities, (3) personal strength, (4) spiritual change, and (5) appreciation of life. This study provides evidence that sport level does not impact an athlete’s ability to produce PTG and bring awareness to trauma and the role PTG can have in an athlete’s life.

Subjective Appraisals

This quantitative-qualitative case study focuses on processes of personal transformation in chronic physical disease in order to further our understanding of the posttraumatic growth construct. Semistructured interviews were conducted with women suffering from Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. The validity of the posttraumatic growth construct is assessed comparing results obtained by a standardized measure (Posttraumatic Growth Inventory) to individual pictorial and verbal depictions of personal transformation processes. Detailed examinations of three cases evidenced the validity of subjective appraisals of posttraumatic growth. Also, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory covered all facets of positive growth processes as portrayed by individual depictions. However, the concept of posttraumatic growth neglects negatively evaluated processes of personal transformation. The consequences of this conceptual bias are discussed with respect to clinical care as well as contradictory results seen in empirical research. Posttraumatic loss and destruction is suggested as a second dimension for the representation of personal transformation in chronic physical disease.

The paper considers the birth of a child with disability as a crisis and traumatic situation for parents. It focuses on the importance of cooperative orientation in the upbringing process, both for the child’s mental health and social adaptation and for overcoming the crisis and making post-traumatic personal growth in the parents possible. We present results of the validation of the ‘Parental Support of the Disabled Child’s Subjective Position’ questionnaire aimed at identifying the parent’s attitude to recognise and support the child’s independence and constructive initiative in various activities and provide him with the necessary assistance in his zone of proximal development. The factor structure was tested on a sample of 201 subjects (mothers of children with mental disabilities) aged 25 to 50 years (average age 39.6 years) by means of confirmatory factor analysis. As a result, a version that included one scale of 12 points was substantiated (Cronbach alpha 0.8). Converged validity was assessed on a sample of 107 subjects (mothers of children with disabilities) using the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory by R. Tedeschi and L. Calhoun in the adaptation by M.Sh. Magomed-Eminova and the World Assumptions Scale by R. Janoff-Bulman in the adaptation of O.A. Kravtsova. A positive relationship was found between the indicators of the ‘Parental Support of the Disabled Child’s Subjective Position’ questionnaire and the indicators of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, as well as with the basic assumptions concerning the benevolence of the world, self worth and the ability to handle emerging problems. It was also revealed that more emotionally stable parents (with low scores on the Beck Depression Inventory) support their child's subjective position more frequently. The findings are illustrated by excerpts from structural interviews with mothers of children with disabilities.
