Objective:: The aims of the present study are twofold. First, it aims to investigate the prevalence of secondary traumatic stress levels, emotion regulation, burnout, and compassion satisfaction in professionals working with forced migrants in Italy. Second, it aims to explore the associations between some socio-demographic and work-related characteristics and the psychological health and professional well-being status of professionals. Method:: An online survey was administered via Google Modules to the Italian associations and Third Sector entities working in the field of forced migration from May, 2021 to March, 2022. A total of 264 professionals (mean age: 39.9; 76.1% females) responded to the survey. Results:: On the background of good levels of psychological health and professional wellbeing, significant differences emerged in mental health status and professional quality of life related to professional roles, age, gender, and geographic provenience. Conclusion:: Understanding the psychological health and professional well-being of those working with asylum seekers and refugees is crucial in providing appropriate healthcare interventions that might be able to take care of professionals’ well-being as well as of their beneficiaries themselves.
