To date, there has been little research on burnout in firefighters despite the acknowledged impact of occupational stress on both individuals and society. According to a survey conducted by the French National Research and Security Institute, the annual cost to society of occupational stress in France is 2-3 billion euros. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of occupational burnout in a large and representative sample of French firefighters. A nationwide survey was conducted in 2021, targeting all categories of firefighters (except for military firefighters in Paris and Marseille) both in metropolitan France and in its overseas departments and territories. This survey came in two parts: questions eliciting basic sociodemographic and job-related data, followed by the Burnout Assessment Tool which assesses the intensity of job-related burnout. We collated results for 3038 firefighters: 2418 men (79.59%), 619 women (20.38%), and 1 gender neutral (0.03%). Findings revealed that while 2455 respondents (80.8%) did not meet the criteria for burnout, 345 (11.4%) reported mild/moderate symptoms of burnout, and 238 (7.8%) could be deemed to have severe burnout symptoms. Further research is warranted into the causes of burnout and its prevention in this specific population.
迄今为止，尽管职业压力对个人和社会的影响已得到公认，但针对消防员职业倦怠的研究却很少。根据法国国家研究与安全研究所进行的一项调查，法国职业压力给社会造成的年度成本为20亿至30亿欧元。本研究的目的是评估法国消防员这一具有代表性的大样本群体中职业倦怠的患病率。2021年开展了一项全国性调查，目标是法国本土及其海外省和海外领地的所有类别消防员（巴黎和马赛的军事消防员除外）。该调查分为两部分：首先是收集基本社会人口统计学和工作相关数据的问题，然后是评估与工作相关的职业倦怠强度的倦怠评估工具。我们整理了3038名消防员的结果：2418名男性（79.59%）、619名女性（20.38%）和1名性别未明确者（0.03%）。研究结果显示，2455名受访者（80.8%）未达到职业倦怠标准，345名（11.4%）报告有轻度/中度职业倦怠症状，238名（7.8%）可被认为有严重职业倦怠症状。有必要针对这一特定人群职业倦怠的成因及其预防开展进一步研究。
