Abstract：
Background: The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and its Short Form (PTGI-SF) are two instruments highly used in research on posttraumatic growth. They include a religious growth item that has been demonstrated to be problematic in cultures that are not very religious. Previous research has addressed this issue in other countries, but no attention has been paid to this critical problem in Spanish samples.Objective: Our aim is to address the psychometric issues presented by the religious growth item in Spain.Method: To do so, we reviewed several studies conducted with various populations in Spain.Results: The scores of the religious growth item in Spain present very low means and standard deviations, as well as high skewness and kurtosis, all of which point to a floor effect. The item scores show low item-test correlations, and it has failed to load on a specific dimension in factor analyses, thus casting doubts about its validity.Conclusions: The inventory does not seem to work properly in its current form in Spain. The inappropriateness of the item measuring religious growth in Spain may be due to cultural reasons. We recommend using the PTGI expanded version (PTGI-X) instead of the PTGI and exploring the possible substitution of the religious growth item in the PTGI-SF for an alternative item. In both cases, ascertaining the psychometric properties of the scores in Spain will be necessary.
The religious growth item in the PTGI and the PTGI-SF show serious psychometric validity issues in Spain. The PTGI Expanded version (PTGI-X) should be used instead of the PTGI in Spain. For the PTGI-SF, the religious item needs to be substituted.

摘要：
背景：创伤后成长量表（PTGI）及其简称（PTGI-SF）是两种用于创伤后成长研究的工具。它们包括一个宗教增长项目，该项目已被证明在不是非常宗教的文化中存在问题。以前的研究已经在其他国家解决了这个问题，但是在西班牙样品中没有注意到这个关键问题。目标：我们的目标是解决西班牙宗教成长项目提出的心理测量问题。方法：为此，我们回顾了在西班牙不同人群中进行的几项研究.结果：西班牙宗教成长项目的得分均值和标准差非常低，以及高偏度和峰度，所有这些都指向地板效果。项目分数显示出较低的项目测试相关性，它未能在因子分析中加载特定的维度，从而对其有效性产生怀疑。结论：该清单在西班牙目前的形式似乎无法正常工作。衡量西班牙宗教增长的项目不恰当可能是由于文化原因。我们建议使用PTGI扩展版本（PTGI-X）代替PTGI，并探索PTGI-SF中宗教增长项目可能替代的替代项目。在这两种情况下，确定西班牙分数的心理测量特性将是必要的。
在西班牙，PTGI和PTGI-SF中的宗教增长项目显示出严重的心理测量有效性问题。应使用PTGI扩展版本（PTGI-X）代替西班牙的PTGI。对于PTGI-SF，宗教项目需要被替换。
