“…Research on secondary trauma, vicarious trauma and burnout tends to be quantitative and therefore relies on several scales, 1 so questions were developed after a review of literature on the roles and responsibilities of SANEs (e.g., Houmes, Fagan, & Quintana, 2003;Ledray, 1995;Ledray, Faugno, & Speck, 2001;Littel, 2001), a guide for an operation of a SANE program (Ledray, 1999), and research findings on the experiences of secondary trauma, vicarious trauma and burnout by counselors, therapists, or social workers who treat victims of sexual violence (e.g., Ghahramanlou & Brodbeck, 2000;Schauben & Frazier, 1995;VanDeusen & Way, 2006;Way et al, 2004), as well as SANEs (Townsend & Campbell, 2009). 1 Quantitative researchers have used scales such as the Impact of Event Scale, the Traumatic Stress Institute Belief Scale, the Coping Strategies Inventory (Bober & Regehr, 2006;Brady et al, 1999;Ghahramanlou & Brodbeck, 2000;Pearlman & Mac Ian, 1995;Schauben & Frazier, 1995;Van-Deusen & Way, 2006;Way et al, 2004), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Browning et al, 2007;Schauben & Frazier, 1995;Townsend & Campbell, 2009), the Penn Inventory of PTSD, and Symptom Checklist-90-Revised Global Severity Index (Ghahramanlou & Brodbeck, 2000), or the Compassion Fatigue Test (Townsend & Campbell, 2009).…”
