Predictors of Secondary Traumatic Stress among Children's Advocacy Center Forensic Interviewers
Bonach, Kathryn; Heckert, Alex
Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, v21 n3 p295-314 2012
This study examined various predictor variables that were hypothesized to impact secondary traumatic stress in forensic interviewers (n = 257) from children's advocacy centers across the United States. Data were examined to investigate the relationship between organizational satisfaction, organizational buffers, and job support with secondary traumatic stress using the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale. The most salient significant result was an inverse relationship between three indicators of job support and secondary traumatic stress. Also significant to secondary traumatic stress were the age of interviewer and whether the forensic interviewer had experienced at least one significant loss in the previous 12 months. Implications for future research, training, program practice, and policy are discussed. (Contains 2 tables.)
