Just Workforce Resiliency For Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners Part 1
In episode two of our Workforce Resiliency mini season, Just science sat down with Dr. Cara Berg-Raunick, a women\u2019s health nurse practitioner and the Director of Clinical Quality and Advancement at Health Care Education & Training, to discuss vicarious trauma experienced by Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs). \n\nVicarious trauma \u2013 the cognitive changes someone experiences after witnessing traumatic events \u2013 affects nurse examiners profoundly, particularly those providing care in the aftermath of sexual violence. According to Dr. Berg-Raunick, the ramifications of SANEs experiencing vicarious trauma could be devastating to the practice of medical forensic examination. Listen along as Dr. Berg-Raunick discusses her journey through anti-sexual violence practice, the effects of vicarious trauma in her own life, and her research findings in this two-part episode of Just Science. \n\nThis season is funded by the National Institute of Justice\u2019s Forensic Technology Center of Excellence.
