Research presented here examines how the demands of fire fighting uniquely affect women. A national sample of 73 female firefighters and fire-service leaders participated in focus groups and key informant interviews. Participants were asked about perceived threats to safety and standard operating procedures (SOPs) that lead to injury regarding gender differences. A thematic qualitative analysis was conducted and the following six themes were identified: (1) impact of working in a male-dominated field, (2) harassment, (3) similar rates/types of injury, (4) inadequate training, (5) ill-fitting gear, and (6) functional techniques/endurance. Both chronic and acute injuries/causes were discussed. Future direction will require diversity education and new training methodologies for the fire service.
此处展示的研究探讨了灭火工作的要求如何对女性产生独特影响。一项针对73名女性消防员和消防服务领导者的全国性抽样调查，参与者参与了焦点小组讨论和关键信息提供者访谈。参与者被问及对安全的感知威胁以及导致性别差异受伤的标准操作程序（SOPs）。进行了主题定性分析，并确定了以下六个主题：（1）在男性主导领域工作的影响，（2）骚扰，（3）相似的受伤率/类型，（4）培训不足，（5）装备不合身，以及（6）功能技术/耐力。讨论了慢性和急性损伤/原因。未来的方向将需要消防服务的多样性教育和新的培训方法。
