Greater exposure to occupational death trauma was significantly associated with higher levels of burnout among MHPs (β = .515, p <.001). Occupational death trauma exerted a significant direct effect on burnout, and STS was found to partially mediate this relationship (β = .277, p <.001). Specifically, increased exposure to occupational death trauma elevated STS, which in turn intensified burnout among MHPs. These findings underscore both direct and indirect pathways through which occupational death trauma contributes to burnout, emphasizing the need for structured psychological interventions within the mental health workforce
