A black a white graph. It says: Self-reported traumatic symptoms based on the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS). The STSS is scored based on the three main traumatic symptoms including arousal (Panel A), avoidance (Panel B), and intrusion (Panel C). STSS level is based on a cumulative number, scored as 0 = low (not at all), 1-2 = moderate (mildly or moderately) and 3-4 = high (severely or very severely). Data is reported as proportion of participants in each category with its associated 95% confidence interval. Adjusted scores are based on participants’ actual self-reported STS results (the original scores) plus an 18% correction factor for under-reporting. Only 48 out of 657 participants did not provide sufficient data to calculate STS scores, resulting in a 92.7% response rate for this instrument.
