Research carried out with survivors of a variety of different traumata indicates that a large proportion of them perceive positive changes in themselves after the trauma. This study investigated whether posttraumatic growth also could be found among people who had been exposed to particularly severe traumata over a period of several years (1991 to 1995) during the war in the area of the former Yugoslavia. Included in the study were two representative samples of adult former refugees and displaced people who lived anywhere in former Yugoslavia before the war and were currently living in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, three and a half years after the war. The main instrument was a new Bosnian translation of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. Results indicated some differences in the factor structure as compared with the original instrument. The overall means for the scale were considerably lower than reported in most studies on other kinds of trauma. Younger people reported considerably more growth than older people.
对各类不同创伤幸存者开展的研究表明，其中很大一部分人在创伤后察觉到自身的积极变化。本研究调查了在前南斯拉夫地区战争期间（1991年至1995年）遭受过特别严重创伤数年的人群中是否也能发现创伤后成长现象。该研究纳入了两个具有代表性的成年前难民和流离失所者样本，他们战前居住在前南斯拉夫的任何地方，战后三年半时现居住在波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的萨拉热窝。主要工具是《创伤后成长量表》的新波斯尼亚语译本。结果表明，与原始工具相比，在因子结构上存在一些差异。该量表的总体均值远低于大多数关于其他类型创伤的研究报告。年轻人报告的成长显著多于年长者。
