Secondary traumatic stress among physiatrists treating trauma patients.

In conclusion, a third of responding physiatrists reported moderate to severe symptoms of secondary traumatic stress-a rate consistent with previous research among clinicians in a trauma setting and higher than the rate of posttraumatic stress disorder in the general population. Resilience-building interventions for secondary traumatic stress are likely to improve the well-being of physiatrists.
