Resumo(s)
A seguinte dissertação apresenta uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre o Crescimento Pós-Traumático (CPT) no contexto do luto, integrando evidências de 82 estudos quantitativos publicados entre 2012 e 2024. O objetivo central foi sintetizar os resultados empíricos e sistematizar a literatura empírica existente sobre a relação entre o CPT e o luto, tendo em conta as associações entre características sociodemográficas, contexto de perda, variáveis psicológicas e sociais e os diferentes domínios de CPT. A análise revelou uma predominância de estudos transversais (76,8%), com forte representação feminina nas amostras e foco principal nas perdas de filhos e cônjuges. Os resultados indicam que o CPT é um fenómeno multidimensional, influenciado por fatores individuais (e.g., resiliência), relacionais (e.g., suporte social) e culturais. Foi identificada uma relação curvilínea entre sintomas de luto prolongado e CPT, sugerindo que níveis moderados de sofrimento favorecem o crescimento. Apesar dos resultados evidenciarem o potencial de reorganização pessoal e relacional após a perda, a heterogeneidade metodológica e a escassez de estudos longitudinais limitam conclusões causais. As implicações clínicas incluem a necessidade de desenvolver intervenções psicoterapêuticas focadas na reconstrução de significado, promoção da resiliência e fortalecimento de redes de apoio, reconhecendo o luto como uma oportunidade de transformação positiva.
This dissertation presents a systematic review of the literature on Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) in the context of bereavement, integrating evidence from 82 quantitative studies published between 2012 and 2024. The main objective was to synthesize empirical findings and systematize the existing literature on the relationship between PTG and bereavement, considering associations with sociodemographic characteristics, loss-related variables, psychological and social factors, and the different PTG domains. The analysis revealed a predominance of cross-sectional studies (76.8%), with a strong overrepresentation of female participants and a primary focus on the loss of children and spouses. Results indicate that PTG is a multidimensional phenomenon influenced by individual (e.g., resilience), relational (e.g., social support), and cultural factors. A curvilinear relationship was identified between prolonged grief symptoms and PTG, suggesting that moderate levels of distress may foster growth. Although the findings highlight the potential for personal and relational reorganization after loss, methodological heterogeneity and the scarcity of longitudinal studies limit causal conclusions. Clinical implications include the need to develop psychotherapeutic interventions focused on meaning reconstruction, resilience promotion, and strengthening support networks, recognizing bereavement as an opportunity for positive transformation.
