Mealer et al. (2007) compared the intensity of posttraumatic symptomatology experienced by medical assistants in the intensive therapy and general practice departments.The first category is characterized by significantly higher scores. In addition, both specialties report significantly higher levels of risk in comparison to managers working in the health industry. These conclusions are not surprising. The amount of work, lack of support and traumatic stress are burnout triggers identified by the medical assistants performing activities in the emergency, intensive therapy and oncology departments.(Kash et al., 2000; Schwam, 1998, Maytum, Heiman, & Garwick, 2004). The problem is even greater in Romania, where the economic difficulties raise new challenges for the medical system and the medical staff. Therefore, the relationship established with patients increases the results on the compassion satisfaction scale. However, the professional achievements cannot counter- balance the chronic exposure to pain and trauma.
