Findings on posttraumatic growth (PTG) and distress have not been consistent. This study examines the relationship in a very long-term perspective. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory was completed by 46 survivors from a single disaster 27 years posttrauma. Posttraumatic stress was measured by the Impact of Event Scale (IES) immediately after the event, and after 1, 5, and 27 years. In the final follow-up, general mental health was also assessed. Strong positive associations were found between PTG and concurrent posttraumatic stress. Although weaker associations were found for the past, concurrent problems in general mental health clearly coexisted with PTG decades after a disaster, yet mediated by IES.
创伤后成长（PTG）和困扰的研究结果并不一致。本研究从非常长期的角度探讨了两者之间的关系。在创伤后 27 年，46 名来自单一灾难的幸存者完成了创伤后成长量表。创伤后应激通过事件影响量表（IES）在事件发生后立即、1 年、5 年和 27 年进行测量。在最后的随访中，还评估了一般心理健康状况。PTG 与同时发生的创伤后应激之间存在强烈的正相关。虽然过去的关联较弱，但灾难发生几十年后，一般心理健康方面的同时存在的问题与 PTG 共存，而这是由 IES 介导的。
