Quality of life and posttraumatic growth after adult burn: A prospective, longitudinal study
TL;DR: Growth scores reduced as affect and mental health improved, and were highest at mid-levels of physical recovery, which supports the concept that PTG is linked to coping as higher growth is reported with more stress, and that depression is a barrier to growth.
