Özet

Travma yaşayan bireyler ile çalışan meslek elemanlarının travmanın yarattığı olumsuz etkileri dolaylı olarak deneyimlemesi ikincil travma olarak adlandırılmaktadır. İşi gereği ise sürekli travma yaşayan bireyler ile çalışan meslek elemanlarından biri olan sosyal hizmet uzmanları dolaylı olarak travmanın yarattığı bu olumsuz belirtilerden dolaylı olarak etkilenmektedirler. İkincil travma yaşayan uzmanlarda çaresizlik, depresyon, kızgınlık, öfke, izolasyon gibi duyguların yanında iş doyumunda azalma, hata oranlarında artış, hizmet kalitesinde azalma veya işten ayrılma gibi olumsuz sonuçlar ile karşılaşılmaktadır. Bunun yanında profesyonel karar vermede sorun yaşama, müracaatçının durumuna yönelik yanlış teşhis koyma ve etkili olmayan müdahale planı oluşturma gibi durumlar ile de karşılaşılabilmektedir. Bu durum sosyal hizmet uzmanının mesleğini etkili bir şekilde icra etmesini engellemektedir. Bu sebeple sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının deneyimledikleri ikincil travmalar fark edildiğinde hem sosyal hizmet uzmanının hem de müracaatçının iyilik hali için uzmana müdahale edilip İkincil travma sonucu oluşan olumsuz belirtilerin düzeltilmesi ve bu durumun tekrarlanmaması için önlemler alınması gerekmektedir.
