为客户治疗与9/11恐怖袭击有关的问题的心理健康临床医生经历的继发性创伤应激(STS)症状是强烈和史无前例的。进行了一项探索性研究，使用定性技术作为主要的信息收集方法，以更好地了解“间接”接触恐怖主义的情况。26名心理健康临床医生参与了这项研究。作为这项研究的一部分，我们探讨了有关STS的问题。在9/11袭击发生30个月后，为9/11受害者提供护理的临床医生的STS水平很高。大多数临床医生缺乏提供救灾精神卫生保健的经验。监督和机构支持的可用性被描述为“薄弱”；然而，同行支持被认为是有帮助的。在过去十年中，在解决STS问题方面取得了进展。包括对社会工作实践、灾难心理健康管理、资金来源和政策的影响。确定了对未来研究的建议。
Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) symptoms experienced by mental health clinicians who treated clients for issues related to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 were intense and unprecedented. An exploratory study, using qualitative techniques as the primary information gathering method, was conducted to gain a better understanding about “indirect” exposure to terrorism. Twenty-six mental health clinicians participated in this research effort. As part of this study, questions regarding STS were explored. STS levels among clinicians who provided care to victims of 9/11 were high 30 months after the attacks. Most clinicians lacked experience providing disaster relief mental health care. Availability of supervision and agency support was described as “weak;” however, peer support was deemed helpful. Over the past decade, progress has been made in addressing STS issues. Implications are included for social work practice, disaster mental health administration, funding sources and policy. Recommendations for future research are identified.
