Abstract

This study performed a systematic literature review to examine existing and recommended CBT support for staff working within mental healthcare, who experienced occupational traumatization. The following questions were posed: (1) What are the effects of differing levels of occupational trauma on the individual and/or organization? (2) Are there any current CBT-specific models, or treatment pathways, aimed at supporting those experiencing the effects of occupational trauma? Conclusions showed the effects of occupational trauma are significant, varied and predominantly negative to both employees, and the organizations where they work. There were no CBT-specific models or pathways sourced to address occupational trauma; however, interventions were highlighted which may form parts of a larger pathway. Reviewed evidence suggests that development of a stepped CBT pathway for occupational trauma will be beneficial.
