以创伤为重点的研究强调了经验丰富的专业人士在与脆弱的客户接触时的反应;然而，对从事创伤研究的新手的常见反应知之甚少，他们可能缺乏科普和与创伤参与者互动的技能。本研究的目的是（a）描述新手创伤访谈者经历的常见反应;（B）检查他们面临的问题是否与经验丰富的帮助专业人员相似;（c）讨论培训和监督如何增加创伤研究中访谈者的幸福感。一个半结构化的评估管理新手面试官谁曾进行过心理和创伤评估与不同的社区参与者。参与是自愿的。评估引发了关于继发性创伤应激反应，替代性创伤，创伤后成长，自助和资源。音频文件被转录;回答被汇编以探索主题并确定说明性的引用。8名访谈员（2名男性，6名女性）参加了访谈。6人报告说，以前没有与有创伤史的人群一起工作的经验。新手采访者描述了二次创伤压力，替代性创伤，同情疲劳，创伤后成长和恢复力的经历。新手面试官描述的症状与经验丰富的帮助专业人士报告的症状一致;积极和消极的症状往往并存。完成更多评估的受访者描述了悲伤，愤怒，失眠和世界观变化的反应。有着相似创伤经历或环境的受访者报告了更多反移情的例子。所有人都报告了类似的创伤后成长感受，如希望和乐观，对他们的参与者和他们的韧性增加赞赏。培训和监督的影响进行了讨论。
Trauma-focused research highlights the reactions of seasoned professionals when engaging with vulnerable clients; however, less is known about the common reactions of novices engaged in trauma research, who may lack the skills to cope and interact with traumatized participants. The purpose of this study is to (a) describe common reactions experienced by novice trauma interviewers; (b) examine whether the issues they face are similar to those of seasoned helping professionals; and (c) discuss ways in which training and supervision can increase the well-being of interviewers in trauma research. A semi-structured assessment was administered to novice interviewers who had previously conducted psychosocial and trauma assessments with diverse community participants. Participation was voluntary. The assessment elicited responses concerning secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, posttraumatic growth, and self-help and resources. Audio files were transcribed; responses were compiled to explore themes and identify illustrative quotes. Eight interviewers (two males, six females) participated. Six reported no prior experience working with populations with histories of trauma. Novice interviewers described experiences of secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, posttraumatic growth, and resilience. Novice interviewers described symptoms consistent with those reported by seasoned helping professionals; positive and negative symptoms often coexisted. Interviewers who completed more assessments described reactions of sadness, anger, insomnia, and changes in worldview. Interviewers who shared similar traumatic histories or environments reported more examples of countertransference. All reported similar feelings of posttraumatic growth, such as hope and optimism, for their participants and an increased appreciation of their resilience. Implications for training and supervision are discussed.
