Abstract Youth can experience improved psychological changes (i.e., posttraumatic growth, or PTG) following the onset of psychosis. Case managers play an important role in the treatment of first episode psychosis but may be unaware that PTG occurs, a topic that has yet to be explored. This study compared service users’ PTG following a first episode of psychosis and case managers’ perceptions of service users’ PTG. Service users receiving treatment for a first episode of psychosis and their case managers completed separate versions of the PTG inventory. Service users’ ratings were higher than case managers’ on the PTG inventory subscales measuring appreciation of life, new possibilities, personal strength, and religious/spiritual change. Case managers may lack an awareness of service users’ PTG. Early intervention services seeking to facilitate PTG may require greater training on how to best recognize and facilitate it.

服务提供商接受精神病首发治疗的服务使用者对创伤后增长的看法

摘要青年在精神病发作后可以经历改善的心理变化（即创伤后生长或PTG）。病例管理员在治疗首发性精神病中起着重要作用，但可能不知道PTG的发生，这是一个尚待探讨的话题。这项研究比较了精神病发作后第一时间的服务使用者的PTG和个案经理对服务使用者的PTG的看法。接受第一次精神病发作治疗的服务使用者及其病例管理员分别完成了PTG清单的不同版本。在衡量生活，新的可能性，个人力量和宗教/精神变化的欣赏度的PTG清单子量表上，服务使用者的评分高于案例管理员的评分。案例管理员可能缺乏对服务用户的PTG的意识。
