Abstract
This review explores the existing literature on posttraumatic growth in children and adolescent survivors of trauma. The review follows 5 stages of Arksey and O’Malley’s framework of a scoping review. Databases like PsychINFO, PubMed, ProQuest, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched for the articles. Of those retrieved, 35 met the criteria. The review findings suggest that the mean prevalence of growth in children and adolescent survivors ranges from 2.10 to 81.84 in the PTGI total scores, ranging from 0 to 105. The highest level of growth was consistently experienced in relation to other domains. Posttraumatic stress, social support, religious and cultural practices, coping strategies, rumination, and social support were suggested to be associated with posttraumatic growth.
