Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Compassion Fatigue:

1.

" 08/01/2023 - "In this study, our aim is to empirically compare the analgesic efficacy of etofenamate spray, lidocaine 10% spray and placebo spray in the management of pain secondary to trauma secondary to isolated rib fractures. "
2.	Lidocaine (Xylocaine)FDA LinkGeneric 08/01/2023 - "In this study, our aim is to empirically compare the analgesic efficacy of etofenamate spray, lidocaine 10% spray and placebo spray in the management of pain secondary to trauma secondary to isolated rib fractures. "
3.	etofenamateIBA 08/01/2023 - "In this study, our aim is to empirically compare the analgesic efficacy of etofenamate spray, lidocaine 10% spray and placebo spray in the management of pain secondary to trauma secondary to isolated rib fractures. "
4.	Hydrocortisone (Cortisol)FDA LinkGeneric 04/01/2016 - "The first program for emergency nurses to overcome compassion fatigue in Korea was effective in increasing emergency nurses' compassion satisfaction and decreasing salivary cortisol level in the experimental group. " 01/01/2021 - "Their cortisol levels were also predicted by perceived rejection from family due to minority sexual identity, and stigma-related vicarious trauma. " 04/01/2016 - "Research variables were ego-resiliency, compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue of the ProQOL 5, and salivary cortisol. "
5.	BuffersIBA 12/01/2020 - "The goal of this study is to examine child welfare caseworkers' experience of secondary traumatic stress (STS) and the extent to which coping strategies act as a buffer. " 11/28/2021 - "Job resources, such as the basic psychological needs outlined by the self-determination theory, along with perceived respect, buffer the negative effects of secondary trauma on burnout. " 01/01/2018 - "This suggests a possibility of higher numbers of burnout in the future given the role of compassion satisfaction as a buffer against compassion fatigue in policing." 01/01/2012 - "Data were examined to investigate the relationship between organizational satisfaction, organizational buffers, and job support with secondary traumatic stress using the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale. " 02/25/2020 - "The main object of this study was to examine the relationship between daily exposition to seeing patient suffering and daily emotional work, and to assess whether compassion fatigue (secondary traumatic stress and burnout) buffers this relationship. "
6.	ElementsIBA 11/01/2004 - "Secondary trauma from occlusion: three-dimensional analysis using the finite element method." 11/16/2023 - "This study aimed to evaluate the stress distribution caused by secondary trauma forces after regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) using different thicknesses of coronary barrier material with three-dimensional finite element analysis(FEA). "
7.	TESIBA 01/01/2015 - "We performed a correlational study with a convenience sample of 172 staff in a psychiatric hospital and compared the rate of traumatic events (TEs), resilience, confidence, and compassion fatigue to PTSD symptoms (PTSS). " 10/01/2020 - "Childhood TEs, including accidents and injuries, interpersonal violence, and vicarious trauma, as well as demographics and internalizing and externalizing behaviors, were measured. "
8.	Excitatory Amino AcidsIBA 06/01/2005 - "Pathophysiological studies show that, very early after the initial trauma, secondary damage is caused by toxic phenomena involving excitatory amino acids (excitotoxicity). "
9.	Vancomycin FDA LinkGeneric 03/01/2023 - "This study retrospectively included 32 adult patients with clearly diagnosed chronic osteomyelitis of the extremities combined with local soft tissue defects, and the trauma was covered by VSD after debridement, osteotomy, and vancomycin-laden bone cement filling of the occupancy, and the trauma was covered by selecting a suitable flap transfer repair according to the site and extent of the soft tissue defect after the trauma condition was suitable, and the secondary trauma was taken from the abdominal full-thickness skin free skin slice graft, according to whether the skin graft area was performed. "
10.	Codeine (Codeine Phosphate)FDA LinkGeneric 10/04/2023 - "Using General Strain Theory, this study investigates the effects of vicarious trauma exposure and perceived social support on nonmedical codeine syrup misuse among Black incarcerated men nearing community re-entry. " 10/04/2023 - "A total of 200 Black men self-reported demographics (i.e., age and length of incarceration after age 18), vicarious trauma exposure (e.g., ever witnessing an assault with a weapon and a sudden accidental death), perceived social support, and nonmedical codeine syrup misuse. " 10/04/2023 - "The roles of vicarious trauma exposure and perceived social support in codeine syrup misuse among Black men living in prisons."

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Critical Care (Surgical Intensive Care) 07/01/2013 - "Thus, pedagogic interventions to enhance perceptions of preparedness and ability to care for the dying can potentially improved PQOL for nurses working in critical care areas, possibly diminishing the incidence of compassion fatigue and burnout." 08/01/2023 - "This study aimed to determine the effect of spiritual well-being of intensive care nurses on compassion fatigue. " 08/01/2023 - "The effect of spiritual well-being on compassion fatigue among intensive care nurses: A descriptive study." 01/01/2023 - "This study's objective was to measure secondary traumatic stress disorder among Saudi Arabian physiotherapists employed in the critical care, neurology, cardiology, pulmonology, and mental health fields. " 06/13/2022 - "Objective: The study aimed to examine the relationship between compassion fatigue and moral sensitivity of intensive care nurses. "
2.	Therapeutics 04/01/2022 - "This study aimed to examine therapists' unfolding response to the challenges of vicarious traumatization and transitioning to online therapy in the wake of the pandemic. " 09/01/2023 - "There was a significant difference in the interaction between measurement time and group assignment in spiritual care competency ( P = .002) and spiritual care therapeutics ( P = .038), whereas no significant difference was found for compassion fatigue ( P = .716). " 09/01/2023 - "Three outcome variables were tested: spiritual care competency, spiritual care therapeutics, and compassion fatigue. " 04/01/2022 - "Posttraumatic growth was predicted by high levels of vicarious trauma, and acceptance of online therapy technology. " 04/01/2022 - "Professional self-doubt at baseline was predicted by higher vicarious trauma and weaker working alliance, less clinical experience, and less acceptance of online therapy technology. "
3.	Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures 01/01/2021 - "A promising minimally invasive surgery along with minimal secondary trauma was presented by laparoscopy in this rare case, providing the potential remedy for perioperative intussusception in the adult."
4.	Bone Transplantation (Bone Grafting) 06/05/2023 - "Currently, the most common clinical method to repair bone defects is bone grafting, where autografts are the "gold standard." However, the disadvantages of autografts, including inflammation, secondary trauma and chronic disease, limit their application. "
5.	Arthrodesis 11/01/2020 - "Application of Y-LCP with unicortical screws has equivalent biomechanical characteristics of DCP and may be a safe option for PIJ arthrodesis, where potential trauma secondary to applying bicortical screws in the palmar/plantar aspect of the pastern can be avoided."
