“…As noted previously, paramedics are regularly exposed to complex and challenging work situations 365 that induce stress which, over time, can affect their health and wellbeing and diminish their coping 366 abilities (Sterud et al 2006;Okeefe and Mason, 2010). Changes to roles, staffing levels and the 367 constant need to meet performance targets, alongside responding to medical and non-medical 368 emergency calls, are additional pressures that impact on the ability to be resilient.…”

Grande parte dos estudos nesta área corrobora esta ideia, na medida em que os tripulantes de ambulância apresentam sintomas dissociativos peritraumáticos e sintomas de pós-stress traumático (PPST) associados à exposição ao trauma no trabalho (Jonsson, Segesten, & Mattsson, 2003;Fullerton, Ursano, & Wang, 2004;Marcelino, Figueiras, & Claudino in press).…”
