Clinician wellbeing: The impact of supporting refugee and asylum seeker survivors of torture and trauma in the Australian context

ConclusionWhile the sample reported psychological wellness, qualitative responses revealed that Australian immigration policies impact clinician wellbeing to a greater extent than exposure to traumatic narratives. Engaging in meaning ‐making processes regarding work appeared to positively impact clinician wellbeing. Those in leadership or supervisory positions would benefit from understanding what aspects of the work most significantly impact clinicians, in order to best support staff.
