Secondary Trauma in RAs

as the types of trauma support in which an RA
engaged increased, the higher were their self-reported rates of secondary trauma. Additionally,
the more time an RA dedicated to supporting
residents through trauma, the more their selfreported rates of secondary trauma increased.

Results also demonstrated a positive relationship between the number of semesters RAs
serve in their role and the sum of trauma types
for which they have supported residents. This
indicated that, over time, RAs may be more
likely to encounter a variety of trauma types.
