“…Unmediated STS has the potential to negatively impact the personal and professional lives of therapists. STS may lead to psychological detachment and cynicism coupled with decreasing job efficacy and ethical decision making (Denne, Stevenson, & Petty, 2019 ). Those impacted by STS report experiencing self-doubt, exhaustion, physical health challenges (Foreman & Savitsky, 2020 ), reduce perceptions of health (Lee et al, 2018 ), emotional detachment (Prichard, 1998 ), shame, and/or stigma (Johnson et al, 2011 ).…”

Background As provisions of mental healthcare services to military and veteran populations increases the risk to service providers developing secondary traumatic stress (STS), efforts are needed to examine the impact of delivering novel interventions which may include 3MDR. As a virtual-reality supported intervention, 3MDR exposes the patient, therapist and operator to graphic and sensory stimuli (i.e. narratives, imagery, smells, and music) in the course of the intervention. 3MDR is actively being researched at multiple sites internationally within military and veteran populations. It is, therefore, crucial to ensure the safety and wellbeing of 3MDR therapists and operators who are exposed to potentially distressing sensory stimuli. Objective The purpose of this study is to qualitatively examine the impact and experiences of STS amongst therapists and operators in delivering 3MDR. For this study, impact will be defined as therapists or operators experiencing perceived STS as a result of delivering 3MDR. Methods This exploratory qualitative study recruited 3MDR therapists and operators ( N = 18) from Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States who had previously delivered 3MDR therapy. Telephone or video-conferencing interviews were used to gather data that was subsequently transcribed and thematically analyzed. Results Four themes emerged among the therapists ( n = 13) and operators ( n = 5): (1) personal cost and benefits of 3MDR, (2) professional paradox of a 3MDR therapist, (3) perceived effect of 3MDR on patients, and (4) recommendations for future 3MDR use. Conclusions STS was not noted to be a significant challenge for 3MDR therapists and operators. Future research may investigate optimal means of providing training and ongoing support for 3MDR therapists and operators. HIGHLIGHTS Secondary Traumatic Stress was not noted to be a significant challenge for 3MDR therapists and operators Future research may investigate optimal means of providing training and ongoing support for 3MDR therapists and operators

“…As research broadened, a clearer distinction was made between the terms, and compassion fatigue was recognized in professions outside the field of trauma treatment. It has now been shown that compassion fatigue occurs in other helping professions as well, such as among special education teachers (Sharp Donahoo et al, 2018 ), and social workers (Denne et al, 2019 ).…”

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the participating psychologists' experiences with compassion fatigue, and to identify individual, interpersonal, and organizational factors and strategies perceived as contributing or protecting in relation to compassion fatigue. Methods: Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with eight psychologists (three men and five women) with more than five years of experience in clinical practice. The interviews were analyzed with thematic analysis, generating five themes. Results: These were organizational and task specific factors which the participants felt contributed to their compassion fatigue ("mission impossible" and "emotional strain"), experiences of compassion fatigue ("consequences"), interpersonal factors that were perceived as contributing or protecting ("interpersonal factors"), and individual factors that were perceived as protecting ("shielding and strengthening factors"). Conclusions: It was found that all of the participants had experienced negative impact of compassion fatigue on their personal lives. A large quantity of patients, and complex patient cases, as well as high expectations on the psychologists were experienced as contributing factors. Collegial support, an empathetic boss, a high degree of agency at work, and fulfiling activities outside of work were experienced as protecting against compassion fatigue.

“…Kontak langsung yang terjadi antara Psikolog Klinis dengan klien dapat mempengaruhi kehidupan Psikolog Klinis yaitu aspek positif (compassion satisfaction) dan negatif (compassion fatigue). Penelitian-penelitian mengenai compassion saat ini mengarahkan para peneliti untuk memperhatikan kondisi ini dengan menggunakan alat ukur Professional Quality of Life-V atau yang selanjutnya akan ditulis dengan PROQOL-V [10]. PROQOL-V, diukur melalui dua aspek, yaitu aspek positif (compassion satisfaction) dan negatif (compassion fatigue).…”

People who work in helping professions may respond to individual, community, national, and even international crises. PROQOL-V has been widely researched in Indonesia despite the limitation of its measurement tool and its usage on clinical psychologist subjects. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to adapt PROQOL measurement as a research tool for clinical psychologist in Indonesia. This study aims to adapt the Indonesian version of the PROQOL-V measurement by ensuring that the instrument has good measurements characteristics, namely validity and reliability. This study uses quantitative research. The instrument PROQOL-V consisting of 30 items that was administered to 100 professional clinical psychologist. The evidence of validity was acquired from expert judgment when designing the instrument and Pearson correlation.The reliability was tested using Cronbsch's Alpha coefficient (α). The item analysis found that the Pearson correlation values ranged from 0.214 to 0.718 with r table pearson product moment 0.195, and reliability testing resulted a value of α = 0.692. It can be concluded that the Indonesian version of the PROQOL-V instrument usage on clinical psychologist subjects is valid and reliable.
