Abstract

The current study explores stressful and potentially traumatic experiences of professional caregivers through a meaning making framework. We anticipate that meaning violations after care-related stressful or potentially traumatic events will predict greater stress and meaning making in the forms of positive reappraisal, growth, and deliberate rumination will moderate this relationship.
