Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a traumatic experience that is universally present across the globe. Undeniably, there are expected adverse outcomes. However, it is also conceivable that IPV survivors might see, feel, and experience a hopeful, positive future after their IPV experience. Notably experienced by IPV survivors is post-traumatic growth (PTG). PTG is a type of positive psychological change that occurs following the struggle with a traumatic experience. The changes are then reflected across five domains. As more studies on PTG among IPV survivors continue to rise, there must be a better understanding of the process. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol, this systematic review consolidated findings from existing literature guided by the research questions: (a) What areas of PTG do IPV survivors most experience positive psychological growth? (b) What factors are associated with PTG among IPV survivors? A total of 22 studies met the criteria and were included. Spiritual growth and new possibilities domains were experienced the most by adult IPV survivors. Contributing and inhibiting factors toward PTG were identified and categorized as interpersonal, contextual, or intrapersonal. Targeted interventions aiding the process toward PTG for IPV survivors were also identified, including commonly maladaptive coping strategies. This systematic review contributes to the literature by increasing knowledge that can be used for more effective support, interventions, and policies that promote PTG for adult IPV survivors.

亲密伴侣暴力幸存者的创伤后生长促进和抑制因素：系统评价


亲密伴侣暴力 （IPV） 是一种在全球范围内普遍存在的创伤经历。不可否认，存在预期的不良后果。然而，也可以想象的是，IPV 幸存者在经历 IPV 后可能会看到、感受到和体验到充满希望、积极的未来。IPV 幸存者显着经历的是创伤后生长 （PTG）。PTG 是一种积极的心理变化，发生在与创伤经历作斗争之后。然后，这些更改将反映在 5 个域中。随着对 IPV 幸存者 PTG 的更多研究不断增加，必须对该过程有更好的了解。遵循系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目方案，本系统评价整合了现有文献的结果，并以研究问题为指导：（a） IPV幸存者在PTG的哪些领域最能经历积极的心理成长？（b） 哪些因素与 IPV 幸存者的 PTG 相关？共有 22 项研究符合标准并被纳入。成年 IPV 幸存者体验到的精神成长和新的可能性领域最为明显。确定了 PTG 的促成因素和抑制因素，并将其分类为人际、情境或人际。还确定了有助于 IPV 幸存者 PTG 过程的针对性干预措施，包括常见的适应不良应对策略。本系统评价通过增加可用于更有效的支持、干预和政策的知识来促进成年 IPV 幸存者 PTG，从而为文献做出贡献。
