The 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. 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.
本研究的目的是探讨70名军队初级和心理健康护理人员样本中的继发性创伤应激（STS）发生率。样本包括两家军队医院的在职专业人员。参与者完成了包含人口统计学问卷和继发性创伤应激量表的调查。数据分析结果发现，样本中的军队参与者经历的STS发生率相对较低。超过一半的样本报告称，在过去一周内至少出现了一种STS症状，而8%的参与者表示有中度至高度的症状表现。最常报告的症状是情绪麻木和睡眠问题，其次是对服务对象的侵入性想法。最不常报告的症状是容易受到惊吓。文中概述了研究结果的意义以及对未来研究的建议。
