Are pediatric critical personnel satisfied with their lives? Prediction of satisfaction with life from burnout, posttraumatic stress and posttraumatic growth, and comparison with non-critical pediatric staff

Abstract

Staff in PICUs shows high burnout, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, and posttraumatic growth levels. However, their levels of satisfaction with life and how positive and negative posttrauma outcomes relate to each other and contribute to predict satisfaction with life remain unknown. Thus, we attempted to explore these aspects and to compare the findings with data from pediatric professionals working in noncritical units.
