Firefighter Stressors: A Systematic Review on Individual, Organizational, and Environmental Stressors
SessionPoster Session 1
DescriptionThis systematic review identified stressors faced by firefighters from the existing literature and categorized them into individual, occupational, and environmental categories. Synthesis of the articles revealed 87 different stressors, which were qualitatively coded into 6 individual stressors, 12 occupational stressors, and 10 environmental stressors. The findings highlight that firefighters endure stress from multiple sources, affecting their physical and mental health. The categorization of stressors offers an integrated approach for stress assessment and allows for the development of stress mitigation strategies and training programs. This study provides the scope for future research to reduce stress-induced risks in firefighting and other emergency response professions.
