Vicarious Trauma, Rumination, and Vicarious Post-Traumatic Growth: Rethinking the Role of Clinical Supervision.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mental health professionals are exposed to clients' traumatic experiences, placing them at risk for vicarious trauma (VT). However, such exposure may also facilitate vicarious post-traumatic growth (VPTG). The present study examined the mediating role of rumination (intrusive and deliberate) in the relationship between VT and VPTG, and the moderating role of clinical supervision. The personal trauma history of the therapist was kept as a covariate. Using a cross-sectional correlational design, data were collected from 278 mental health professionals, including psychologists, counsellors, social workers, and therapists, through purposive sampling. Correlational analyses and moderated mediation analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS. The analysis revealed that VT is positively related to VPTG, and deliberate rumination mediates the relationship between VT and VPTG. Clinical supervision moderates the association between vicarious trauma and deliberate rumination and the association between deliberate rumination and vicarious post-traumatic growth. The findings highlight the role of participation in clinical supervision in shaping these relationships. This study contributes to the limited empirical literature on VT and VPTG and offers implications for clinical supervision practices and professional training.
