Little attention has been given to factors contributing to firefighters' psychosomatic well-being. The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine such contributing factors in a sample of professional firefighters.
Measures assessing sleep, depression, substance use, social bonding, and quality of life were examined in 112 firefighters.
Overall, many firefighters reported sleep deprivation (59%), binge drinking behavior (58%), poor mental well-being (21%), current nicotine use (20%), hazardous drinking behavior (14%), depression (11%), poor physical well-being (8%), caffeine overuse (5%), or poor social bonding (4%).
Small-to-medium correlations were identified between sleep deprivation, depression, physical/mental well-being, and drinking behaviors. High-risk behaviors that impact psychosomatic well-being are prevalent in professional firefighters, which require environmental and individual-based health promotion interventions. The inter-correlation relationships between such behaviors, therefore, need to be explored in further details.
很少有人关注导致消防员身心健状况的因素。本描述性研究的目的是在专业消防员样本中研究这些促成因素。
对 112 名消防员进行了睡眠、抑郁、物质使用、社会联系和生活质量评估。
总体而言,许多消防员报告存在睡眠剥夺(59%)、狂饮行为(58%)、心理健康状况不佳(21%)、当前尼古丁使用(20%)、危险饮酒行为(14%)、抑郁(11%)、身体和心理健康状况不佳(8%)、咖啡因滥用(5%)或社会联系不佳(4%)。
睡眠剥夺、抑郁、身体/心理健康与饮酒行为之间存在小到中度的相关性。影响身心健的高危行为在职业消防员中很常见,这需要进行环境和基于个体的健康促进干预。因此,需要进一步详细探讨这些行为之间的相互关联关系。
