“…Fear and hypervigilance in the wake of a loved one’s attack is also likely to shape how people conduct daily activities like running errands, concentrating on everyday tasks, or traveling to the doctor’s office [ 38 ]. Similarly, many community violence interventionists experience significant secondary trauma that can greatly hamper their ability to conduct their work and function on a daily basis [ 39 ].…”

This study investigates the relationship between firearm violence exposure and functional health among Black adults in the United States (US). We examined associations between different forms of firearm violence exposure (direct, indirect, and community) and functional health with particular attention to differences across sex groups. We used survey data from a nationally representative sample of 3015 Black adult Americans to analyze associations between types of firearm violence exposure and four aspects of functional disability including: the ability to concentrate, walk/use stairs, dress/bathe, and run errands among males and females. The findings indicate notable disparities in exposure and health outcomes based on the exposure type and cumulative exposure to violence. Among males, functional disability was associated most closely with community violence exposure, while direct threats of firearm violence were most consequential for functional health among females. High cumulative exposure to firearm violence was linked to significant risks to functional health, particularly among females. The results shed light on sex differences in the repercussions of firearm violence exposure and emphasize its implications for daily functioning and health. This study contributes to the understanding of the multifaceted impacts of firearm violence on functional well-being and highlights the need for inclusive and culturally sensitive healing approaches based in community settings. There is a critical need for heightened awareness and strategies to enhance the well-being of those disproportionately affected by firearm violence in the US.

“…EST may provide a frame for discussion of how to address the process for design of burnout prevention strategies in conjunction with teachers' perspectives. There is a continued need to expand understanding of teachers' risk of STS, especially in how to formulate proactive interventions to prevent burnout (Borntrager et al, 2012;Champine et al, 2019;Miller and Flint-Stipp, 2019;Sprang et al, 2019;Hureau et al, 2022).…”

Several psychological factors are discussed in relation to teachers’ emotional labor (EL). Ecological systems theory (EST) is used in relation to the role of emotional intelligence (EI) to provide a perspective on ways to conceptualize how to address secondary traumatic stress (STS) risk among teachers. An international selection of the literature is synthesized in relation to the factors that may affect EL in relation to STS risk among teachers who have students with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). The concept of EI is central to this discussion of theoretical relationships between EI and STS risk relevant to teachers’ EL. While there is much literature on Bronfenbrenner’s EST and Gardner’s multiple intelligences (MI) theory separately, there is room in the literature for exploring EST to contextualize the topic of STS risk as it relates to the concept of EI. The purpose of this study is to discuss allostatic load factors that may affect teachers’ EL and to discuss potential ways to acknowledge EL.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is a term derived from the concept of interpersonal intelligence in Gardner’s multiple intelligences (MI) theory. This term has been used to explain one of the many expectations placed on K-12 teachers in that they are often expected to display EI. Given the prevalence of this term and popularity of MI theory, there is need to contextualize the semantic use of EI. To do so, Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory (EST) is discussed in relation to EI to provide a perspective on ways to conceptualize how to address secondary traumatic stress (STS) risk among teachers. The semantic use of EI relates to a theoretical understanding of teachers’ emotional labor. The purpose of this analysis is to highlight semantic conceptualization and links made between these concepts and to call for additional research on this interdisciplinary topic. Implications are discussed for how collaboration with speech-language pathologists can benefit general education teachers.
