Subject: Human service occupations such as medicine, nursing, ambulance, rescue and emergency services and police are often faced with human death, dying, injury and mutilation within the course of their duties. These experiences are traumatic and these workers are unrecognized victims who may develop long-term psychological and physiological disorders in response to distress. There is a need to provide training in coping strategies within these occupations. After delineating the nature and process of trauma response syndromes, elements suitable for inclusion within a preventative program were identified within the literature concerning the psychiatric theory of coping and the clinical interventions for post-traumatic disorders
