Objective: Those responsible for the care of trauma survivors can experience both beneficial and detrimental consequences resulting from their professional demands. Research has demonstrated that among professional caregivers, compassion satisfaction (CS), burnout (BO), and compassion fatigue (CF) are important factors contributing to professional quality of life. The current research aims to provide normative information regarding the factors contributing to professional quality of life among those who interact with survivors of trauma. The Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) Scale is a widely used measure of CS, BO, and CF. The most recent iteration of the ProQOL manual provides normative data to assist in the interpretation of scores. However, a review of the literature reporting raw scores on the ProQOL suggests that mean scores and cutoff scores for the 25th and 75th percentiles may be misleading.
Method: A review of 30 studies (total sample size of 5,612) was conducted and normative values are presented.
Results: The mean (standard deviation) level of CS, CF, and BO were 37.7 (6.5), 16.7 (5.7), and 22.8 (5.4), respectively.
Conclusions: Values gathered from the literature review tend to align well with one another and suggest that within a given sample, CS scores tend to be higher than BO scores, and BO scores tend to be slightly higher than CF scores. (PsycINFO Database Record

How adverse childhood experiences impact the professional quality of life of residential care workers: resilience as a mediator for burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion satisfaction.
Front Child Adolesc Psychiatry

Faculty of Social Work, University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Introduction: The well-being of trauma-affected children and youth in residential care settings is contingent upon the well-being of the workers who care for them, who are increasingly expected to provide care in a trauma-informed manner. The well-being of residential care workers (RCWs) may be impacted by their own histories of adversity, their capacity individually and collectively to navigate to resources that sustain their well-being (resilience), and current perceptions of their professional quality of life.
Objective: This study aimed to fill a research gap by canvassing the perspectives of RCWs to determine what and how they need to be supported in their work.
Prevalence and associated factors of herbal medicine use among breast cancer patients: a cross-sectional study in Morocco.

Background: Despite advances in modern medicine, an increasing number of breast cancer (BC) patients are turning to complementary and alternative medicine, such as phytotherapy. Instead of being prescribed by breast medical oncologists, patients are often seeking out phytotherapy themselves. They typically resort to herbal medicine as an alternative treatment to alleviate symptoms and side effects and enhance their quality of life during cancer treatment.

This study proposes a hierarchical automated methodology for detecting brain tumors in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), focusing on preprocessing images to improve quality and eliminate artifacts or noise. A modified Extreme Learning Machine is then used to diagnose brain tumors that are integrated with the Modified Sailfish optimizer to enhance its performance. The Modified Sailfish optimizer is a metaheuristic algorithm known for efficiently navigating optimization landscapes and enhancing convergence speed.

Introduction: There is little research regarding quality of health care for people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD), who often are represented by their relatives, because of their limited communication. The aim of this study was to explore experiences and perspectives of relatives regarding healthcare services for adults with PIMD.
Method: Twelve semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted involving close relatives of people with PIMD: mothers ( = 7), fathers ( = 2), brothers ( = 2) and a sister ( = 1).
