Abstract

Objectives: Posttraumatic growth (PTG) is of increased theoretical and clinical interest. However, less is known about PTG in older adults specifically. This systematic review aimed to identify domains where PTG is studied for older adults; investigate factors associated with PTG in older adults; consider how these might differ between historical and later life traumas.

Methods: Online databases were searched for quantitative studies examining PTG outcomes in adults aged ≥ 60 years.

Results: 15 studies were subject to a narrative synthesis.

Conclusions: Older adults can experience substantial levels of PTG, from traumas during later life or across the lifespan, and historical wartime traumas. Traumas can be diverse, some studies found equivalent levels of PTG from different traumas across the lifespan. Social processes may be a key variable for older adults. Additional psychosocial factors are found; however, diverse findings reflect no overall model, and this may be consistent with variations found in other PTG literature.

Clinical implications: Clinical considerations are discussed. As diverse studies, findings may not be widely generalizable and directions for further research are highlighted. PROSPERO: CRD42020169318.

哪些因素与老年人的创伤后成长有关？系统综述。

目的：创伤后成长（PTG）越来越受到理论界和临床界的关注。然而，人们对老年人的创伤后成长知之甚少。本系统性综述旨在确定研究老年人创伤后成长的领域；调查与老年人创伤后成长相关的因素；考虑这些因素在历史创伤和晚年创伤之间有何不同：方法：在在线数据库中搜索了对年龄≥60岁的成年人的PTG结果进行研究的定量研究：结果：对 15 项研究进行了叙述性综合：结论：老年人可能会经历大量的创伤后心理障碍，这些创伤来自晚年生活或整个生命周期的创伤，以及历史性的战时创伤。创伤可以是多种多样的，一些研究发现，不同的创伤在整个生命周期中造成的 PTG 水平相当。社会过程可能是老年人的一个关键变量。研究还发现了其他社会心理因素；然而，不同的研究结果并没有反映出一个整体模型，这可能与其他 PTG 文献中发现的差异一致：讨论了临床考虑因素。作为一项多样化的研究，研究结果可能不具有广泛的普遍性，因此强调了进一步研究的方向。prospero：CRD42020169318。

期刊介绍： ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
