Sent on behalf of Joni Handran, LCSW, CACIII…June 11, 2012Dear Caregiver:I am a graduate student working under the direction of Gene Gloeckner, Ph.D. in the Department of Education and Social Work at Colorado State University. I am also a caregiver with experience in the field of trauma.Caregivers who provide services to trauma survivors are at heightened risk of experiencing the same symptoms that those they care for experience, a concept described as compassion fatigue. I am conducting a research study on the effects organizational culture has on individuals who provide services to people and animals that have experienced trauma.I am asking for you to participate in an online survey to help understand what organizational factors influence worker burnout and compassion fatigue. This survey is online and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. There are no known risks associated with this research; however, the questions on the surveys may probe some emotional/challenging memories. There are no known direct benefits to you associated with this research. Your participation is greatly appreciated and your responses to the survey will remain anonymous. That means that no one, not even members of the research team, will know that the information you give comes from you. If this study is ever published, your name will not be known.Your participation in this study is voluntary. If you choose not to participate or to withdraw from the study at any time, there will be no penalty.
