Sinistres et intervenants

“…Parmi les thèmes mentionnés, on a noté un certain manque de cohésion lorsque des groupes d'intervenants (rémunérés et non rému-nérés) répondaient à un même appel, le besoin d'une formation commune aux diverses catégories d'intervenants engagés dans un même type d'activités et l'utilisation de véhicules efficaces en de telles circonstances.

In addition, Gilbert (2001b) recommended seeking out "social and emotional support" (p. 12) as well as spacing interviews with enough time in between to reduce the intensity, which can become overwhelming.…”

An exploration of the experience of compassion fatigue in clinical oncology nurses

“…Researchers conclude that CF occurs in a variety of health care professions including, but not limited to social work, clinical research, occupational and physical therapy, genetic counselling and medicine (Adams, Figley, & Bascarino, 2008;Badger, Royse, & Craig, 2008;Pickett, Brennan, & Greenberg, et al, 1994;Stebnicki, 2002;Costa, 2005;Benoit, McCarthy Veach, & LeRoy, 2007;Pfifferling, & Gilley, 1999).
