Abstract

This qualitative research explores rape victim advocates' secondary traumatic stress (STS), burnout, and coping strategies. Data reveal that the hardest parts of advocates' work include feeling like they cannot help survivors, hearing survivors' stories, and seeing the failings of the CJ and legal systems. Most advocates (81%) experience STS, evident in emotional and behavioral responses. Most advocates (71%) confirm that #MeToo and coverage of sexual violence in the news, social media, or television contribute to their STS. Fewer advocates (34%) experience burnout, which is attributed to workload. Advocates cope by reaching out to others (colleagues, friends, and family) and exercising.

创伤的守护者：强奸受害者代言人的二次创伤压力、职业倦怠和应对技巧。

这项定性研究探讨了强奸受害者权益维护者的二次创伤压力（STS）、职业倦怠和应对策略。数据显示，权益倡导者工作中最困难的部分包括感觉自己无法帮助幸存者、听到幸存者的故事以及看到刑事司法系统和法律系统的失误。大多数倡导者（81%）都经历过 STS，表现在情绪和行为反应上。大多数倡导者（71%）确认，#MeToo 以及新闻、社交媒体或电视对性暴力的报道导致了他们的 STS。较少的倡导者（34%）出现职业倦怠，这归因于工作量。倡导者通过向他人（同事、朋友和家人）求助和锻炼来应对。
