“…VPTG is seen first and foremost in helpers working with trauma victims or in those exposed to aversive details of traumatic events experienced by others. Available but still scarce research findings confirm the presence of VTPG among psychotherapists [6], refugee helpers [11], interpreters working in refugee camps [13], medical staff [14], public service employees [15], social workers [16] or professionals helping substance dependent people [17]. VPTG was found also in obstetric nurses who had participated in highrisk deliveries [18,19].…”

“…Zastępczy wzrost potraumatyczny jest obserwowany przede wszystkim u osób, które pomagają ofiarom traumy lub narażone są na awersyjne szczegóły wydarzeń traumatycznych, doznanych przez innych. Dostępne, choć wciąż nieliczne wyniki badań wskazują na występowanie VPTG wśród psychoterapeutów [6], u pomagających uchodźcom [11], tłumaczy pracujących w obozach dla uchodźców [13], wśród personelu medycznego [14], u członków służb publicznych [15], pracowników socjalnych [16] czy profesjonalistów pomagających osobom uzależnionym [17]. Występowanie VPTG ujawniono także w grupie pielęgniarek uczestniczących w porodach zagrażających życiu dziecka [18,19].…”

Purpose: Among the consequences of professional stress related to helping victims of trauma, above all, the symptoms of secondary traumatic stress (STS) are mentioned. The occurrence of positive changes, in the form of vicarious posttraumatic growth (VPTG) is also possible. Among the factors conducive to posttraumatic adaptation, personality traits are mentioned, including psychological resilience. The aim of the research was to determine the role of resilience in the occurrence of STS and VPTG among professionals who care for terminally ill persons. Method: The analysis included results obtained from 72 nurses aged 22-72 (M = 46.01, SD = 10.69) employed in palliative care. The research used a survey and three standard measurement tools, i.e. the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and the Resiliency Assessment Scale. Results: The obtained results confirmed a negative relationship between resilience and STS and the positive relationship with VPTG. The conducted regression analysis indicated that the main predictor of STS is the factor 2 of resilience, i.e. openness to new experiences and sense of humor. Three resilience factors played the predictive role for the particular dimensions of the VPTG. In addition, there was a negative relationship between STS and VPTG. Conclusions: Psychological resilience is an important resource that can protect people exposed to secondary trauma before the development of STS and promote the occurrence of positive changes, manifested in the form of VPTG.

“…Vicarious resilience-or vicarious posttraumatic growth-has been observed among clinicians working in varied practice contexts (Barrington and Shakespeare-Finch 2013;Cosden et al 2016;Frey et al 2017;Molnar et al 2017). Consistent with the research of adversarial growth in trauma survivors, researchers have attempted to identify ways in which clinicians benefit from working with trauma survivors.…”

This article summarizes the evolution in thinking about trauma and its impact on those who have experienced it. The nature of trauma-informed (TI) practice and care and implications for field instruction are then explained. This discussion is based upon the assumption that skills of social work field instruction that already have an evidence base lay the foundation for TI field instruction. Composite case examples drawn from the author's experiences as a field liaison, a practitioner who works with trauma survivors, and an instructor in the generalist practice curriculum illustrate methods and skills of field instruction from a trauma informed perspective.

“…In recent years, the professional therapeutic community has acknowledged that the regular exposure of its members to stress and trauma cultivates the conditions for the establishment of VPTG (Kjellenberg et al, 2014; Manning-Jones et al, 2015, 2016; Michalchuk & Martin, 2019; Samios et al, 2012(. The differing conceptualizations of the correlation between secondary traumatization and VPTG notwithstanding (Ben-Porat & Itzhaky, 2009; Helgeson et al, 2006; Kjellenberg et al, 2014; Lev-Wiesel & Amir, 2003) models that describe growth processes argue that the two phenomena are inextricably bound (Cosden et al, 2016; Jayawickreme & Blackie, 2014; Linley & Josef, 2004; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004).…”

Purpose: Supervision is an essential part of social work education. Accordingly, supervision satisfaction plays an important role in the development of the students’ professional identity. However, the factors contributing to supervision satisfaction among social work students have rarely been examined. This study examined the contribution of supervision components, peer support, secondary traumatization, and vicarious post-traumatic growth (VPTG) to supervision satisfaction. Method: Self-report questionnaires were distributed to 259 undergraduate social work students. Correlation and hierarchical linear regression analyses were performed. Results: Higher supervision satisfaction was predicted by the educational and supportive components of supervision, peer support, and VPTG, whereas the administrative component of supervision satisfaction and secondary traumatization predicted lower supervision satisfaction. Discussion: The findings highlight the negative ramifications of secondary traumatization and the positive contribution that supportive and educational supervision, peer support, and VPTG can have on social work students’ supervision satisfaction. Practical implications for practice and policy are discussed.
