Secondary Traumatic Stress:
It is called because you pick it up from being a caregiver. Being a nurse, you can’t avoid secondary traumatic stress. Being proactive and having strategies will help to mitigate it.
How has COVID changed it?
Before, we may not have experienced the traumatic stress as often or rarely experienced it; with COVID, it is happening daily or multiple times a day. COVID accelerated how quickly it is happening.
