The aim of the study was to determine the mediating role of coping strategies in the relationship between intensity of trauma resulting from the loss of a child and posttraumatic growth (PTG). The study included a group of 76 persons who regarded the loss of a child as a traumatic event. The majority (55.3%) of respondents were women. The age of the participants ranged from 18 to 62 years ( = 35.88; = 9.52). A visual scale to measure intensity of trauma was used, and the Polish versions of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and Coping Inventory (Brief-Cope). The subjects revealed PTG, primarily in terms of appreciating of life and relating to others. Seeking social support, both emotional and instrumental, plays a mediating role between the intensity of trauma and PTG. Encouraging people who have experienced trauma to seek social support may not only enable adaptation to the situation but also contribute to the occurrence of PTG.
本研究旨在确定应对策略在儿童丧亲创伤强度与创伤后成长（PTG）之间的中介作用。该研究纳入了 76 名将儿童丧亲视为创伤事件的个体。大多数（55.3%）受访者为女性。参与者的年龄在 18 至 62 岁之间（M=35.88，SD=9.52）。使用视觉量表来衡量创伤强度，以及波兰语版创伤后成长量表和应对方式量表（Brief-Cope）。研究对象表现出创伤后成长，主要体现在对生活的欣赏和与他人的关系上。寻求社会支持，包括情感支持和工具性支持，在创伤强度和创伤后成长之间起着中介作用。鼓励经历过创伤的人寻求社会支持，不仅可以帮助他们适应现状，还有助于创伤后成长的发生。
