Assessing Secondary Traumatic Stress in Burn Care Clinicians: Feasibility, Prevalence, and Related Factors
Results support the feasibility of studying STS in this population, and the prevalence of STS among burn care clinicians warrants attention. Important information was added to the extant literature on related risk and protective factors. Increased knowledge about STS in this population will help to inform prevention efforts and interventions at both the individual and organizational level to prioritize staff well-being and improve patient care.
