Repeated exposure to traumatogenic material as part of work with traumatised individuals can have detrimental effects on professionals' well-being. Growing research has explored this phenomenon, known as 'vicarious traumatisation'. Nevertheless, little research has focused on the positive effects of this work on professionals, namely, 'vicarious post-traumatic growth'. This literature review aims to identify existing research demonstrating mental health professionals' experiences of growth, along with environmental and personal factors that facilitate this growth. Eight qualitative and seven quantitative articles were identified following a systematic search of six electronic databases and assessed for their quality using standardised checklists. Qualitative studies were assessed using the Quality Appraisal Checklist for Qualitative Studies (NICE, 2012), and quantitative studies were assessed using the Appraisal Tool for Cross-Sectional Studies (Downes et al., 2016). Professionals described changes in the way they view themselves, the value they place on their relationships and their appreciation for life. Important organisational factors and personal traits were identified as significant predictors for professionals' growth. Our findings have the potential to inform practical recommendations and directions for future research.

暴露于创伤性材料的专业人员的替代性创伤后成长：系统文献综述。

作为与受创伤者一起工作的一部分，反复接触致创伤材料会对专业人员的健康产生不利影响。越来越多的研究探索了这种被称为“替代性创伤”的现象。然而，很少有研究关注这项工作对专业人员的积极影响，即“替代性创伤后成长”。这篇文献综述旨在确定现有研究，证明精神卫生专业人员的成长经历，以及促进这种成长的环境和个人因素。在对六个电子数据库进行系统搜索后，确定了八篇定性和七篇定量文章，并使用标准化清单评估了它们的质量。定性研究使用定性研究质量评估清单（NICE，2012）进行评估，定量研究使用横断面研究评估工具（Downes 等人，2016）进行评估。专业人士描述了他们看待自己的方式的变化、他们对人际关系的重视以及他们对生活的欣赏。重要的组织因素和个人特质被确定为专业人员成长的重要预测因素。我们的研究结果有可能为未来的研究提供实用的建议和方向。他们对人际关系的重视和对生活的欣赏。重要的组织因素和个人特质被确定为专业人员成长的重要预测因素。我们的研究结果有可能为未来的研究提供实用的建议和方向。他们对人际关系的重视和对生活的欣赏。重要的组织因素和个人特质被确定为专业人员成长的重要预测因素。我们的研究结果有可能为未来的研究提供实用的建议和方向。
