Sammanfattning	The STSS is a 17-item self-report scale measuring secondary traumatic stress (STS)—trauma-related symptoms experienced by professionals exposed to others' trauma through their work. Developed by Bride and colleagues in 2004, the STSS operationalizes the concept of secondary traumatic stress disorder, a recognized occupational health concern affecting mental health professionals, physicians, first responders, and others in trauma-exposed occupations. The scale is used for occupational health screening, research on clinician burnout, and organizational assessment of workplace trauma exposure.	The ProQOL is a 30-item self-report instrument measuring both negative (compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress) and positive (compassion satisfaction) dimensions of occupational wellbeing in helping professionals. Developed by Stamm in 2005, the ProQOL conceptualizes professional quality of life holistically—capturing not only the burden of helping work but also its rewards and meaning. The scale is widely used in occupational health research, organizational assessment, and intervention evaluation across healthcare, mental health, social services, and disaster response fields.
