What Comes First, Job Burnout or Secondary Traumatic Stress? Findings from Two Longitudinal Studies from the U.S. and Poland.

This longitudinal research examined the directions of the relationships between job burnout and secondary traumatic stress (STS) among human services workers. In particular, using cross-lagged panel design, we investigated whether job burnout predicts STS at 6-month follow up or whether the level of STS symptoms explains job burnout at 6-month follow-up. Participants in Study 1 were behavioral or mental healthcare providers (N = 135) working with U.

Long-term effects on subscapularis integrity and function following arthroscopic shoulder stabilization with a low anteroinferior (5:30 o'clock) portal.

Purpose: The use of a low anteroinferior (5:30 o'clock) portal for arthroscopic shoulder stabilization allows an anatomical refixation of the capsulolabral complex. This anteroinferior portal, however, penetrates the inferior subscapularis (SSC), which is criticized. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate the functional and structural properties of the SSC in patients with anteroinferior shoulder stabilization.

Cultivating secondary traumatic growth among healthcare workers: the role of social support and self-efficacy.

Objective: This 2-study longitudinal investigation examined the indirect effects of secondary traumatic stress (STS) on secondary traumatic growth via two mediators: perceived social support and secondary trauma self-efficacy. In particular, we tested if the 2 hypothetical mediators operate sequentially, that is, with secondary trauma self-efficacy facilitating social support (i.e.

Secondary traumatic stress among mental health providers working with the military: prevalence and its work- and exposure-related correlates.

Our research assessed the prevalence of secondary traumatic stress (STS) among mental health providers working with military patients. We also investigated personal, work-related, and exposure-related correlates of STS. Finally, using meta-analysis, the mean level of STS symptoms in this population was compared with the mean level of these symptoms in other groups.
