Abstract
Hospital workers exposed to war related trauma are susceptible to mental health challenges that develop into traumatic stress and burnout. This study examines satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress in 481 staff members at Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC), Fort Bragg, NC as measured by the Professional Quality of Life Questionnaire (ProQoL). Results show that compared to national norms, staff at WAMC measured higher levels of compassion satisfaction and lower levels of burnout and compassion fatigue. Additional data compared scores on the ProQOL between staff who had experienced a deployment within the previous 12 months, compared to staff that had not. There was no difference in the scores on the ProQOL for this subgroup. Findings suggest that staff in this Military Treatment Facility (MTF) are relatively satisfied with their work and working conditions.
