The paper investigates the relationship between perceived social support in the workplace and both negative (post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms) and positive outcomes (post-traumatic growth) of experienced traumatic events in a group of male emergency service workers. Data of 116 workers representing emergency services (37.1% firefighters, 37.1%, police officers and 30% medical rescue workers) who have experienced a traumatic event in their worksite were analyzed. The range of age of the participants was 21-57 years (M=35.27; SD=8.13). Polish versions of the Impact of Event Scale--Revised and the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory were used to assess the negative and positive outcomes of the experienced event. A perceived social support scale was measured by the scale What support you can count on. The data obtained from the study revealed the negative dependence of social support from supervisors with PTSD symptoms and positive--social support from co-workers with post-traumatic growth. Moreover the results of the study indicate the positive relationship between negative and positive outcomes of experienced traumatic events in the workplace. Perceived social support plays a more important role in gaining benefits from trauma than preventing negative outcomes of the experienced traumatic event. Support from co-workers, compared to support from supervisors, has greater importance.
本文调查了一组男性应急服务人员工作场所中感知到的社会支持与经历创伤性事件后的负面结果（创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状）和正面结果（创伤后成长）之间的关系。分析了116名代表应急服务部门的工作人员的数据（37.1%为消防员，37.1%为警察，30%为医疗救援人员），他们在工作场所经历过创伤性事件。参与者的年龄范围为21至57岁（M = 35.27；SD = 8.13）。使用事件影响量表修订版和创伤后成长量表的波兰语版本来评估经历事件的负面和正面结果。通过“你能依靠的支持”量表来测量感知到的社会支持。研究获得的数据显示，来自主管的社会支持与PTSD症状呈负相关，而来自同事的社会支持与创伤后成长呈正相关。此外，研究结果表明，工作场所中经历创伤性事件的负面和正面结果之间存在正相关关系。在从创伤中获益方面，感知到的社会支持比预防经历创伤性事件的负面结果发挥着更重要的作用。与主管的支持相比，同事的支持更为重要。
