<b>Data file: Protective Factors for Secondary Traumatic Stress of School Staff Following Student Suicide or Suicidal Behaviour</b>

This data set contains survey responses from school staff. The survey investigated whether school staff experienced secondary traumatic stress (STS) symptoms following student suicide/suicidal behaviour. Aligning with the compassion fatigue resilience model, the relationships between protective factors of self-care, detachment, sense of satisfaction, and social support and STS following student suicide/suicidal behaviour were measured. Two STS measures were used, with a focus on self and on helping others. Australian school staff (N = 134) with experience of student suicide/suicidal behaviour responded to an anonymous online survey.
