This project examines how physicians’ and nurses’ exposure to trauma through caring for patients impacts the development of secondary traumatic stress, vicarious traumatization, compassion fatigue, and burnout. The degree to which specific protective factors can mitigate and/or prevent the development of these traumas of health-caring is explored. This project was conducted in a faith-based community hospital in the mid-west. Using an ethnographic mixed methods approach, six nurses and six physicians completed two quantitative assessment tools and participated in one interview comprised of both quantitative and qualitative questions. Results of the project determined (1) that the participants are experiencing varying degrees of secondary traumatic stress, vicarious traumatization, compassion fatigue, and burnout; (2) that the protective factors of compassion satisfaction, support, resilience, and self-care, as well as religious and/or spiritual beliefs, help prevent or mitigate the development of these dynamics; and (3) which types of self-care behaviors participants are engaging in to foster health promotion and wellness behaviors. Short-term and long-term recommendations are made regarding the need for further staff education on trauma, resilience, and self-care; increased awareness of holistic support resources available to team members; and the role of management in engaging team members’ concerns and suggestions. This study affirms the key role spiritual and religious beliefs play in healing. Thus, chaplains are key resources in helping team members increase their awareness of how they might be wrestling with the blessings and costs of caring, as well as ways in which they might manage their trauma through the “healing graces” of compassion satisfaction, support, resilience, self-care, and spirituality.
