Vicarious traumatization describes the negative changes in healthcare workers' perceptions of themselves, others, and the world as a result of being exposed to their patients' traumatic and/or graphic content. Secondary traumatic stress is a group of psychological symptoms that resemble those of post-traumatic stress disorder but are acquired by exposure to people who have experienced trauma. Numerous research has attempted to uncover correlations of both Vicarious traumatization and secondary traumatic stress, but the literature on these and the associated conceptions of burnout and compassion fatigue still lacks conceptual comprehension.
