目前的研究探讨创伤工作的影响，对那些谁是创伤客户的工作，在替代性创伤（VT）和替代性创伤后成长（VPTG）的框架内，通过使用元分析的结果从20发表的定性文章。综合发现，创伤工作的影响可能会增加短期和长期的痛苦程度，这种心理影响可以通过个人和组织的应对策略来管理。然而，它也强调，困境并不一定妨碍增长。此外，有人发现，创伤工作会导致图式和日常生活的变化，这些变化可以是消极的和积极的，这意味着创伤工作的影响的非二元观点。示意图的变化对应于VT和VPTG，但对于VPTG的发生，创伤工作者将需要接触到客户自己的成长。
The current study examines the impact that trauma work has on those who are working with traumatized clients, within the framework of both vicarious trauma (VT) and vicarious posttraumatic growth (VPTG), by using a metasynthesis of findings from 20 published qualitative articles. The synthesis found that the impact of trauma work can potentially increase short- and long-term levels of distress and that such psychological impact can be managed through personal and organizational coping strategies. Nevertheless, it also highlighted that distress does not necessarily preclude growth. Furthermore, it was found that trauma work leads to changes in schemas and day-to-day routines and that these changes can be both negative and positive, implying a nonbinary view of the impact of trauma work. The schematic changes correspond to both VT and VPTG, but for VPTG to occur, trauma workers will need to be exposed to the client's own growth.
