Özet

This study examines the post-traumatic growth of adolescents who have lost their parents about their experiences. Eight adolescents whose parents had died participated in the study conducted in the phenomenological design. The data were collected with three-step semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the phenomenological analysis technique performed in five stages. The findings were grouped into three main themes as "reactions to loss," "readjustment," and "post-traumatic growth," and nine subthemes under each, and these sub-themes were categorized into forty-five codes.
