This systematic review aims to investigate existing literature regarding the phenomenon of post-traumatic growth among women who have experienced intimate partner violence. Five steps outlined by Arksey and O'Malley were followed to carry out this review. These steps are as follows: defining the research question, identifying relevant studies, selecting studies, and visualizing the results. When the 3,129 scientific studies obtained from the databases were evaluated according to appropriate criteria, they were reduced to 50 articles. Appropriate criteria have been defined as scientific articles scanned with the keywords divorce, post-traumatic growth, positive growth, and intimate partner violence. A total of 10 studies were included in this study due to a special focus on posttraumatic growth and intimate partner violence. According to the literature, it has been observed that intimate partner violence is associated with post-traumatic growth. In addition, the effects of intimate partner violence and post-traumatic growth on divorced women are explored in the discussion section. It has been observed that these effects are characterized by growth in the areas identified by Calhoun and Tedeschi after divorce. Although a specific tool is needed for these examinations in the literature, there are currently no standardized screening procedures in use. As a result, it is thought that this study will shed light on the literature on recognizing and evaluating post-traumatic growth symptoms and indicators c aused by intimate partner violence.
