The study supplemented a broader project, which sought to determine correlates between age, gender, and the constructs of ProQOL, using a triangulation design to combine nomothetic and idiographic methods. The current study acted to supplement the primary study with qualitative data, but can be treated as a stand-alone qualitative study.enCompassion fatigueCompassion satisfactionLay counsellorsCape TownPost-traumatic growthUniversity of Western Cape
