Book excerpt: This study investigates the long-term effects of critical incident stress among emergency responders, including firefighters, paramedics, and police officers. Analysis of the data indicates that single responder critical incidents have the potential to negatively affect emergency responders resulting in the loss of enthusiasm and passion for their work, debilitating psychological distress, and isolation from valued support systems. Long-term effects of Critical Incident Stress change the perceptions that responders have about the job, about themselves, and the relationship with their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of disaster emergency responders are first on the scene and last to leave. They put concern for the lives of others over concern for their own lives, and work tirelessly to recover the bodies of the missing. Their heroic actions save lives, provide comfort to and care for the wounded and inspire onlookers, but at what cost to themselves? We now know that rescue workers who are exposed to mutilated bodies, mass destruction, multiple casualties, and life-threatening situations may become the hidden victims of disaster. The traumatic consequences of exposure can profoundly impact emergency responders, radiate to their families, and permeate the emergency organization. This much-needed new book, based on the authors' original research and clinical experience, describes the consequences of trauma exposure on police officers, fire fighters, and paramedics. Weaving data collected in large-scale quantitative studies with the personal stories of responders shared in qualitative interviews, this much-needed account explores the personal, organizational, and societal factors that can ameliorate or exacerbate traumatic response. Stress theory, organizational theory, crisis theory, and trauma theory provide a framework for understanding trauma responses and guiding intervention strategies. Using an ecological perspective, the authors explore interventions spanning prevention, disaster response, and follow-up, on individual, family, group, organizational, and community levels. They provide specific suggestions for planning intervention programs, developing trauma response teams, training emergency service responders and mental health professionals, and evaluating the effectiveness of services provided. Disaster, whether large-scale or small, underscores our ongoing vulnerability and the crucial need for response plans that address the health and well being of those who confront disaster on a daily basis. In the Line of Fire speaks directly to these emergency response workers as well as to the mental health professionals who provide them with services, the administrators who support their efforts, and the family members who wonder if their loved one will return home safely from work tonight.

This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stress that comes with being a first responder has been known to lead to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicide. However, few clinicians are informed about these health concerns and how to adequately treat them in this population. Therefore, there is an urgent need for practitioners to understand the latest information regarding treatments that will be useful to this specific population. Mental Health Intervention and Treatment of First Responders and Emergency Workers is an essential reference source that focuses on the latest research for diagnosing and treating mental health issues experienced by emergency personnel and seeks to generate awareness and inform clinicians about the unique circumstances encountered by these professionals. While highlighting topics including anxiety disorders and stress management, this book is ideally designed for clinicians, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, practitioners, medical professionals, EMTs, law enforcement, fire departments, military, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and students seeking current research on psychological therapy methods regarding first responders.

Download or read book First Responder Symptom Awareness to Reduce Critical Incident Secondary Trauma written by Leslie Filler and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: First responders frequently respond to critical incidents (CI), causing stress, secondary trauma, and PTSD. Currently, first responders are provided with critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) training. Without pre-trauma exposure or pre-CI intervention, first responders are at a greater risk for increased secondary trauma symptoms (STS) and high risk of burnout, attrition, substance abuse, compassion fatigue, insomnia, post-traumatic stress, depression and suicide. Stigma is a huge factor, limiting those in need from asking for assistance. The increased incidence of first responder suicides contributed to national safety initiatives to prevent firefighter line of duty deaths and injuries. Evidence-Based Practice Framework: Kurt Lewin's Change Theory was the basis behind the project. Lewin theorized an individual's behavior can be changed by the three concepts and three stages. The John Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice guided the project to ensure the most up to date research findings and evidence based practices were correctly integrated into patient care. Methods: The Professional Quality of Life, version 5 questionnaire, the trauma screening questionnair (TSQ), the abbreviated PCL, and the PC-PTSD-5 questionnaire were used to collect data prior to and following the intervention. First responders were educated about CI including symptom awareness, single vs cumulative effects, secondary trauma, PTSD, compassion fatigue, and suicide prevention.Participants were introduced to an online learning module, online applications, and learning resources. Findings/Results: All nine participants had compassion satisfaction with no burnout or compassion fatigue; however, two were identified as at-risk for PTSD on the TSQ, three on the PCL and four on the PC-PTSD-5. Initially, knowledge about post-trauma symptoms and self-care increased 22.63% from baseline, however, after 30 days knowledge had improved 7.74% from baseline, indicating a decline in knowledge retention. Conclusion/Recommendations: First responders are at increased risk for PTSD yet may not be aware of CI symptoms including secondary trauma. Following a single educational intervention, knowledge retention declined quickly. Pre CI-exposure intervention is recommended as a primary prevention for symptom awareness.
