The Relationship Between Vicarious Posttraumatic Growth and Secondary Traumatic Stress Among Health Professionals

Manning-Jones, Shekinah, de Terte, Ian, Stephens, Christine·2017·Journal of Loss and Trauma

Abstract

Limited and inconsistent research exists regarding the relationship between vicarious posttraumatic growth (VPTG), which is positive psychological growth experienced as a result of vicarious traumatic exposure, and symptoms of secondary traumatic stress (STS). The current study aimed to investigate whether a curvilinear model explained the VPTG-STS relationship among a sample of 365 nurses, psychologists, counselors, social workers, and medical doctors. Results supported this hypothesis, however this result appeared to largely be governed by the curvilinear relationship found among psychologists; STS was not found to predict VPTG among any other profession. Implications of results are discussed.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A certain accumulation of vicarious trauma experiences can generate vicarious growth, but after exceeding a threshold, further growth ceases and the possibility of negative effects intensifies.

    “Oznacza to, że pewna kumulacja przeżyć wpostaci traumy zastępczej ma zdolność generowania wzrostu zastępczego, ale po przekroczeniu progu, pojawia się brak dalszego wzrostu, azamiast tego - nasila się możliwość negatywnych skutków [27].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
