A qualitative and quantitative review of the risks of traumatic
experiences for emergency personnel and coping management in
International view
E
mergency personnel are constantly exposed to traumatic experiences in their work
environ-ment. "Emergency personnel" means any persons, paid or volunteer, who
receive calls for dispatch of police, fire, or emergency medical service personnel, and
includes law-enforcement officers, firefighters, including special forest wardens and
emergency medical service personnel (Code of Virginia of the State of Virginia). These
experiences cause a high risk for anxiety and other mental disorders. With this research,
we want to compare the rele-vance of work environments to the increased risks. I want
to review the current coping man-agement protocols used and revise the protocols to
establish coping management techniques specific for the need of emergency personnel.
We will incorporate the following possibilities: health management and physiology,
health psychology and health sociology. This will be an international research project
in order to compare different social structures and their ap-proaches to the above
mentioned issue and to analyze why some countries have better results with their
current coping management protocols. These protocols can be modified and incor-
porated.
