We report a study of occupational stress in 374 paramedics. Results indicate that this profession experiences a high degree of job-related stress relative to other medical personnel. In a component analysis of this stress the results show that job stress manifests itself as job dissatisfaction, organizational stress, and negative patient attitudes, but not as frequently as somatic distress.

Empathy levels in undergraduate paramedic students: A three-year longitudinal study
2016, Nurse Education in Practice
Citation Excerpt :
Whilst other health professionals show similar declines in patient empathy, this is particularly prominent in paramedics due to the increased environmental stressors involved in their work. Paramedics typically experience higher rates of occupational stress when compared to hospital-based health professionals; the result of an inherent responsibility for others, chronic exposure to human tragedy and frequent dealings with life and death emergencies (Hammer et al., 1986). Coupled with the frequency of working in uncontrolled and potentially dangerous environments (Linwood, 2007), failure to find appropriate adaptive mechanisms to combat these stressors, such as reduced displays of empathy, typically result in paramedics displacing their negative attitudes onto patients (Grevin, 1996).
Empathetic behaviour is regarded as a positive trait amongst healthcare professionals and has been attributed to increased patient compliance, greater patient satisfaction, and greater diagnostic accuracy and reduced rates of clinical errors. In particular, paramedic students have typically displayed lower rates of empathy when compared to their healthcare counterparts. The objective of this study is to assess both the level of empathy and changes in empathy in undergraduate paramedic students over a 3-year period at a single tertiary institution. A cross sectional study employing a convenience sample of first, second and third year undergraduate paramedic students at Monash University. Student empathy scores where measured with the Jefferson Scale of Empathy–Health Profession Student version (JSE–HPS); a validated, self-reporting questionnaire. 552 students were enrolled in the study. The mean overall JSE–HPS score for the cohort was 108.60 (SD = 12.50). Female students displayed significantly higher empathy scores of 110.27 (SD = 11.62) compared to males at 105.36 (SD = 13.57). There was also a significant difference (p = 0.03) noted between the 2008 JSE–HPS score 106.32 (SD = 14.02), when compared to the 2009 cohort, 110.18 (SD = 12.91). Results from this study suggest that paramedic students display lower empathy than those reported by fellow healthcare students within the literature.
Evaluation of occupational injuries in an urban emergency medical services system before and after implementation of electrically powered stretchers
2012, Applied Ergonomics
Citation Excerpt :
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals are exposed to many occupational hazards (Becker et al., 2003; Cydulka et al., 1989; Gershon et al., 1995; Hammer et al., 1986; Kahn et al., 2001; Maguire et al., 2005, 2002).
Musculoskeletal injuries are frequently reported among Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals. The objective of this study was to evaluate occupational injuries in an urban EMS system before and after implementation of hydraulic stretchers. Data for this analysis were obtained from Austin Travis County EMS (A/TCEMS). In December 2006, A/TCEMS placed into service electrically powered patient stretchers. The pre-intervention period was between 01/01/1999 and 12/31/2006, and the post-intervention period was between 01/01/2007 and 4/30/2008. Incidence rate calculations were performed for four injury sub-groups and rate ratios (RRs) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were presented. There were 2087 and 706 person-years of observation pre- and post-intervention, respectively. The incidence rates for overall injury pre-intervention and post-intervention were 61.1 and 28.8 per 100 FTE, with a corresponding RR of 0.47 (95% CI 0.41–0.55) indicating a significant decrease in the rate of injury. The subcategory of stretcher-related injuries had the lowest RR (0.30; 95% CI 0.17–0.52) when comparing pre- and post-intervention time periods.
Longitudinal emergency medical technician attribute and demographic study (LEADS): An interim report
2002, Prehospital Emergency Care
Objectives. This ten-year longitudinal study examines various attributes and demographic characteristics of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics to identify factors that influence their careers, to identify trends in emergency medical services (EMS), and to provide data on why individuals report leaving the EMS career field. Methods. A 46-item core survey and a 16-item cross-sectional survey were administered to EMT-basics and EMT-paramedics who were randomly selected and placed in cohort groups stratified by duration of continuous registration at each level and by race. The core survey focused on five broad areas of attributes and demographics, including general, professional, educational, personal, and financial. Case weights were calculated for respondents in each stratum, reflecting the individual's probability of selection. These case weights were adjusted, within strata, for nonresponse. The survey will be administered annually. The cross-sectional survey focused on EMS education. Results. This interim report is descriptive of the overall responses of EMT-basics and EMT-paramedics to core survey items. The demographic characteristics of EMT-basics and EMT-paramedics are described as well as a description of their work activities, working conditions, and job satisfaction Conclusions. The initial EMT and paramedic attribute and demographic data have been collected, analyzed, and reported. The longitudinal nature of this study requires further data collection and analysis to accurately present trends in EMS, as well as correlations and associations between identified attributes and other factors that influence the careers of EMTs and paramedics. Further reports of the findings will be necessary. PREHOSPITAL EMERGENCY CARE 2002;6:433-439
Validation of the Chinese-version MPSS-R for occupational stress among emergency nurses
2001, Journal of Psychosomatic Research
The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of a Chinese-version stress instrument among emergency nurses. The study sample comprised of 113 nurses whose age ranged from 21 to 47 years old. The Chinese version of Medical Personnel Stress Survey (MPSS-R) was answered in 1996 through self-administered questionnaires. The instrument demonstrated excellent convergent and discriminant validity. Cronbach's α (reliability) coefficients ranged from .57 to .77. Factorial analysis yielded four principal components, corresponding to job dissatisfaction, team relationship, organization support, and somatic distress. Validation by independent variable was also consistent with theory. Thus, the Chinese-version MPSS-R retained excellent psychometric properties when used in an emergency nurses group.

Anxiety levels in EMS providers: Effects of violence and shift schedules
1999, American Journal of Emergency Medicine
We tried to measure anxiety levels in emergency medical service (EMS) providers to determine the effects of (1) having had a violent encounter during a shift and (2) different shift schedules, conducting a prospective observational study over 3 months in an urban EMS system setting. A convenience sample of 23 EMTs and 40 EMT-Ps was observed. Anxiety levels were measured using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. A total of 99 inventories were completed by 63 EMS providers. The mean state (32.6 ± 8) and trait (31.7 ± 7.1) scores were less than normative scores (35.7 ± 10.4 and 34.9 ± 9.2 respectively) for working adult males (P = .004 and .007, respectively). Paramedics had lower anxiety scores tan basic EMTs (P = .015 and .039) and years of experience also decreased anxiety scores (P < .0001). There was no significant difference in state scores between those EMS providers who had encountered violence during the preceding 12 hours and those providers who had not. Comparisons of state scores of providers assessed at hour 12 of a 12 hour shift, hour 12 of a 24 hour shift, and hour 24 of a 24 hour shift failed to show any significant differences. Although the working environment of the EMS provider contains numerous stressors and uncertainties, this population of providers were no more anxious than the general working public. Advanced training and years of experience decreased anxiety. Violent encounters during a shift did not appear to affect anxiety levels. There was no difference in anxiety levels in providers who worked 12 and 24 hour shifts.
