  • exposure to client trauma Secondary Traumatic Stress and the health of clinical social workers a mediation analysis
    Clinical Social Work Journal, 2018
    Co-Authors: Jacquelyn J Lee, Ruth Gottfried, Brian E. Bride
    Abstract:

    While it is widely acknowledged that providing services to traumatized populations may negatively impact the mental health of clinicians, little is known about the impact of exposure to traumatized clients and Secondary Traumatic Stress on the physical health status of clinicians. As such, the twofold purpose of this study was to: (1) document the prevalence of STS in a national (US) sample of clinical social workers, and (2) to examine the relationships between exposure to client trauma, STS, and perceived health of clinical social workers. Specifically, we sought to determine if STS mediates the relationship between exposure to client traumas and perceived health. Results indicate clinicians experience intrusion symptoms most frequently, and a significant portion report arousal and avoidance symptoms. Mediation analyses revealed that exposure to traumatized client populations indirectly influenced clinical social workers’ physical health perceptions by way of Secondary Traumatic Stress. Findings call for increased attention toward prevention and amelioration of Secondary Traumatic Stress symptomology among direct service providers, given both its prevalence and potential impact on physical health. Directions for future research are discussed.

  • Secondary Traumatic Stress in military primary and mental health care providers
    Military Medicine, 2013
    Co-Authors: Sara Kintzle, Jeffrey S Yarvis, Brian E. Bride
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to explore rates of Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) in a sample of 70 military primary and mental health care providers. The sample included working professionals within two military hospitals. Participants completed surveys containing a demographic questionnaire and the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale.1 Results of data analysis found military participants in the sample to be experiencing relatively low rates of STS. Over half of the sample reported endorsing at least one symptom of STS occurring within the last week, whereas 8% of participants indicated moderate to high symptomatology. The most frequently reported symptoms were feeling emotionally numb and trouble sleeping followed by the intrusive thoughts about clients. The least frequently reported symptom was feeling jumpy. Implications of study findings and recommendations for future research are outlined.

  • an assessment of Secondary Traumatic Stress in juvenile justice education workers
    Journal of Correctional Health Care, 2011
    Co-Authors: Schnavia Smith Hatcher, Brian E. Bride, Dione Moultrie King, James Jack Franklin Catrett
    Abstract:

    Given the frequency and violent character of the traumas encountered by juvenile offenders, staff members who regularly interact with juveniles in custody are at risk of developing Secondary Traumatic Stress. Juvenile justice teachers and staff (N = 118) were administered a cross-sectional survey, including the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale. Respondents said the students were moderately traumatized (47%), severely traumatized (27%), and very severely traumatized (7%). Regarding STS, the most frequently reported symptom was intrusive thoughts related to work with the students, mentioned by 61% of respondents. Additionally, 81% met at least one, 55% met two, and 39% met all three core diagnostic criteria for postTraumatic Stress disorder. Recommendations for juvenile justice staff members and for the organization are provided to address practice and policy implications.

  • vicarious traumatization Secondary Traumatic Stress and burnout in sexual assault and domestic violence agency staff
    Violence & Victims, 2003
    Co-Authors: Stephanie Baird, Sharon Rae Jenkins
    Abstract:

    This study investigated three occupational hazards of therapy with trauma victims: vicarious trauma and Secondary Traumatic Stress (or "compassion fatigue"), which describe therapists' adverse reactions to clients' Traumatic material, and burnout, a Stress response experienced in many emotionally demanding "people work" jobs. Among 101 trauma counselors, client exposure workload and being paid as a staff member (vs. volunteer) were related to burnout sub-scales, but not as expected to overall burnout or vicarious trauma, Secondary Traumatic Stress, or general diStress. More educated counselors and those seeing more clients reported less vicarious trauma. Younger counselors and those with more trauma counseling experience reported more emotional exhaustion. Findings have implications for training, treatment, and agency support systems.

  • Secondary Traumatic Stress and vicarious trauma a validational study
    Journal of Traumatic Stress, 2002
    Co-Authors: Sharon Rae Jenkins, Stephanie Baird
    Abstract:

    Vicarious trauma (VT) and Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) or compassion fatigue both describe effects of working with traumatized persons on therapists. Despite conceptual similarities, their emphases differ: cognitive schemas vs. postTraumatic symptoms and burnout, respectively. The TSI Belief Scale (TSI-BSL) measures VT; the Compassion Fatigue Self-Test (CFST) for Psychotherapists measures STS. Neither has substantial psychometric evidence yet, nor has their association been studied. Results for 99 sexual assault and domestic violence counselors show concurrent validity between TSI-BSL and CFST, moderate convergence with burnout but useful discrimination, and strong convergence with general diStress, but adequate independent shared variance. Counselors with interpersonal trauma histories scored higher on CFST, but not TSI-BSL or burnout, consistent with the CFST's emphasis on trauma symptomatology.

  • vicarious traumatization Secondary Traumatic Stress and burnout in sexual assault and domestic violence agency staff and volunteers
    1999
    Co-Authors: Stephanie Baird
    Abstract:

    Two constructs, vicarious trauma (VT) and Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS), describe therapists’ reactions to clients’ Traumatic material. VT (TSI Belief Scale [BSL]), emphasizes cognitive belief system changes resulting from cumulative exposure to survivors. STS, (Compassion Fatigue Self-test for Psychotherapists [CFST]) combines PTSD and burnout symptomatology explaining sudden adverse reactions to survivors. Burnout (BO; Maslach Burnout Inventory [MBI]), links emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and deficient personal accomplishment to inadequate institutional supports in interpersonally demanding work. This study investigated BSL and CFST validity, counselor trauma history, and client exposure-related VT, STS, and BO in 105 trauma counselors. Results demonstrate concurrent validity between BSL and CFST; other results dispute adequate validity. BO, and client exposure were related. Traumatized counselors scored higher than non-traumatized counselors on CFST, BSL, and SCL-90-R.

  • development and validation of the Secondary Traumatic Stress scale
    Research on Social Work Practice, 2004
    Co-Authors: Brian E. Bride, Margaret M Robinson, Bonnie L Yegidis, Charles R Figley
    Abstract:

    Objective: To describe the development and validation of the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS), a 17-item instrument designed to measure intrusion, avoidance, and arousal symptoms associated with indirect exposure to Traumatic events via one’s professional relationships with traumatized clients. Method: A sample of 287 licensed social workers completed a mailed survey containing the STSS and other relevant survey items. Results: Evidence was found for reliability, convergent and discriminant validity, and factorial validity. Conclusions: The STSS fills a need for reliable and valid instruments specifically designed to measure the negative effects of social work practice with traumatized populations. The instrument may be used to undertake empirical investigation into the prevention and amelioration of Secondary Traumatic Stress among social work practitioners.

  • Secondary Traumatic Stress effects of working with survivors of criminal victimization
    Journal of Traumatic Stress, 2003
    Co-Authors: Marydale Salston, Charles R Figley
    Abstract:

    This paper focuses on the consequences for providers of working with survivors of Traumatic events, particularly criminal victimization. The paper reviews the relevant research and treatment literature associated with Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) and related variables (burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and countertransference). The latter part of the paper identifies the most important mitigating factors in the development of STS. These include good training specific to trauma work, a personal history of trauma, and the interpersonal resources of the worker. Implications for treatment, prevention, and research are discussed.
