In addition to the routine pressures associated with their demanding roles, prehospital emergency responders can suffer severe stress as a result of exposure to a critical incident. Such an event overwhelms the individual's ability to emotionally adjust, and can lead to symptoms which cause suffering in emergency personnel, their families and their patients. A Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Team has been established in southern West Virginia to address this occupational hazard. This group was formed as a cooperative arrangement between the Charleston Division of the West Virginia University Health Sciences Center and emergency personnel in the Greater Kanawaha Valley. This article offers an explanation of the team's functioning and specific information regarding its activation.
除了与其高要求职责相关的日常压力外，院前急救人员还可能因遭遇重大事件而承受巨大压力。这样的事件会使个人的情绪调节能力不堪重负，并可能导致出现一些症状，给急救人员及其家人和患者都带来痛苦。西弗吉尼亚州南部已成立了一个重大事件应激管理（CISM）小组，以应对这一职业危害。该小组是西弗吉尼亚大学健康科学中心查尔斯顿分部与大卡诺瓦河谷的急救人员合作组建的。本文对该小组的运作情况以及有关其启动的具体信息进行了解释。
