SummaryThe indirect exposure to patients’ traumatic experiences may generate contrasting reactions in helping professionals, such as vicarious trauma and vicarious resilience. Theoretical models predict that job stressors facilitate vicarious trauma and reduce vicarious resilience and that personal resources may mediate this relationship. However, there is little empirical research linking some of these variables. This study aims to test: (a) Whether job stressors (family-work conflict, work-family conflict and role conflict) predict personal resources (coping strategies and self-care practices) and reactions to indirect exposure to trauma (vicarious trauma and vicarious resilience); and (b) whether personal resources predict these reactions and mediate their association with job stressors. A convenience sample of 448 social workers from Spain completed an online questionnaire between October 2020 and January 2021.FindingsStructural equation modelling revealed that job stressors generally hindered problem-focused coping and self-care and enabled emotion-focused coping; only vicarious trauma was directly associated with role conflict. Primarily, personal resources predicted the reactions to indirect exposure to trauma and mediated the influence of job stressors in these reactions.ApplicationsIn line with previous research, results support the need for personal and organizational interventions to decrease vicarious trauma and promote vicarious resilience.

应对和自我保健：调节工作压力源与替代性创伤和替代性复原力之间的关系

摘要间接接触患者的创伤经历可能会在帮助专业人员时产生相反的反应，例如替代性创伤和替代性复原力。理论模型预测，工作压力源会促进替代性创伤并降低替代性复原力，而个人资源可能会调节这种关系。然而，很少有实证研究将其中一些变量联系起来。本研究旨在测试： (a) 工作压力源（家庭与工作冲突、工作与家庭冲突和角色冲突）是否可以预测个人资源（应对策略和自我护理实践）以及对间接创伤（替代性创伤和替代性创伤）的反应。弹力）; (b) 个人资源是否可以预测这些反应并调节它们与工作压力源的关系。来自西班牙的 448 名社会工作者在 2020 年 10 月至 2021 年 1 月期间完成了一份在线调查问卷。调查结果结构方程模型显示，工作压力源通常会阻碍以问题为中心的应对和自我护理，并促进以情绪为中心的应对；只有替代性创伤与角色冲突直接相关。主要是，个人资源预测了对间接暴露于创伤的反应，并调节了这些反应中工作压力源的影响。应用与先前的研究一致，结果支持个人和组织干预的需要，以减少替代性创伤和促进替代性复原力。
