Abstract

Purpose is to investigate and compare professional quality of life (ProQoL) among health care providers (HCPs) in cystic fibrosis (CF) ambulances and inpatient clinic for child and adolescent psychiatry. The ProQoL R-IV Inventory was administered to 96 HCPs to investigate: compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress (STS). HCPs in CF centers and inpatient psychiatry did not differ in their ProQoL. However, the occupational groups differed regarding STS (F(3,92)=3.726, p=.01). Physicians reported more STS than other groups. Longer work experience was associated with more STS (r=-0.21, p=.04). Regular screening should be put in place to identify HCPs at risk of decreased ProQoL.
