| Summary: | Changes in spirituality and religiosity may play a vital role in understanding individuals’ post-traumatic growth, the experience of positive outcomes from difficult or traumatic personal experience. Although assessment of post-traumatic growth has been addressed by the development of several measures, these measures fail to capture the domain of spiritual/religious change. In this manuscript, we review 12 quantitative measures of post-traumatic growth, focusing on the degree to which these measures allow an adequate assessment of changes in religiosity and/or spirituality. We consider these concepts in the context of understanding the role of these domains in post-traumatic growth and in facilitating clients’ transitions through adversity. |
