ABSTRACT

El objetivo del presente estudio descriptivo fue identificar la prevalencia de síntomas de estrés traumático secundario (ETS) en una muestra conjunta de periodistas mexicanos y defensores de derechos humanos (N igual 88), cuyo trabajo profesional demanda regularmente un contacto cercano con víctimas de violencia. Se encontró que 36.4 por ciento de los participantes presentaron sintomatología "alta” o “severa” de ETS. Sin embargo, no se ubicaron diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos. Por otra parte, las mujeres y quienes laboraban más de 40 horas a la semana, sí mostraron síntomas significativamente más altos. Los resultados de esta investigación transversal reflejan el considerable desgaste psicológico que pueden generar las exposiciones secundarias en profesionistas que documentan y establecen vínculos sistemáticos con personas traumatizadas por la violencia social en México.


The main goal of this descriptive study was to identify the prevalence of secondary traumatic stress (STS) symptoms in a pooled sample of Mexican journalists and human right defenders (N same 88), whose activities regularly demand a close contact with victims of violence. It was found that 36.4 percen of the participants presented “high” or “severe” STS symptoms. However, no significant differences between these groups of professionals were observed. Conversely, women and those who worked more than 40 hours a week presented significantly more severe symptoms. The results of this transversal investigation reflect the psychologic wear that these secondary exposures can generate in professionals who establish systematic links with subjects who have been traumatized by the social violence prevalent in modern Mexican society.
