The target of this study was 196 Korean child protective service workers. The purpose of this study is to find out both the effect of secondary traumatic stress and stress coping style on depression and moderating effect of stress coping style between them. The majority of child protective service workers were in clinical level of depression, which was more severe when they are younger and unmarried. The level of depression by secondary traumatic stress and problem solving coping style were significantly different. The more secondary traumatic stress they experience, level of depression became more severe. The more problem solving coping style they use, level of depression decreased and the more wishful thinking style they use, depression increased. However, the moderating effect of stress coping style between secondary traumatic stress and depression was not significant. Based on these results various strategies in prevention and postvention, considering organizational and individual traits to deal with secondary traumatic stress and depression are suggested.
