Zusammenfassung:The concept of posttraumatic growth appears frequently in the psychology literature. However, there is no clear definition of it. The purpose of this study was to determine its attributes, antecedents, and consequents. Rodgers’ evolutionary concept analysis method was used. Data analysis was implemented using thematic analysis. The results showed that posttraumatic growth is a complex concept with four main attributes including spiritual changes, compassion toward others, appreciation of life, and improved self-understanding. Clarifying the concept of posttraumatic growth and identifying its features can be used to design nursing interventions to develop posttraumatic growth.
