This review aims to assess the effectiveness of CBT and its adaptations in fostering post-traumatic growth.
Conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines.
Searched databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar until December 2024.
Assessed risk of bias using RoB-2 for RCTs and ROBINS-1 for quasi-experimental studies.
Included 19 studies: 13 randomized controlled trials, 3 quasi-experimental, and 3 longitudinal studies.
Traditional CBT showed mixed results, while CBT-based protocols aimed at PTG showed consistent benefits.
Identified limitations included small sample sizes and secondary outcomes for PTG measurement.
