The 5-week expressive writing included a weekly 20 min of expressive writing and 10 min of reflection on the workrelated traumatic events. Outcomes were assessed using questionnaires of a professional quality of life (compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress) and a resilience. Data were analyzed by independent t-test and analysis of covariance.
