Abstract [en]

In situations requiring humanitarian interventions the contexts are demanding with hard environments. Humanitarian workers are exposed to conflict, poverty, famine or natural disasters, together with witnessing personal tragedies. This creates a demanding work context, challenging the mental health, and 30% of aid workers report symptoms of PTSD after field assignments (McDonald, 2015). Several stressors affecting also originate from organizational factors (Lopez Cardozo et al. 2012), but few studies describe how humanitarian actors work to improve staff care practices.
