Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) presents a significant challenge for firefighters. While research suggests that admiration may have a positive impact on individual psychological well-being, its specific influence on PTSD among firefighters remains unexplored. This study aims to investigate the association between admiration, motivation (both internal and external), and PTSD in a sample of 2156 firefighters in order to identify effective coping strategies for managing PTSD in this population. The findings indicate a statistically significant inverse relationship between admiration and PTSD, with motivation acting as a mediator. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that internal motivation is negatively correlated with PTSD in the model, while external motivation shows a positive correlation. The results suggest that feelings of admiration are associated with firefighter PTSD via motivation. Specifically, internal motivation stemming from admiration appears to have a mitigating effect on PTSD symptoms, while external motivation is linked to exacerbation of these symptoms. These results have implications for the development of theoretical frameworks and practical interventions aimed at preventing PTSD among firefighters.
创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）是消防员面临的重大挑战。虽然有研究表明，钦佩感可能对个体的心理健康产生积极影响，但它对消防员 PTSD 的具体影响仍有待探索。本研究旨在调查钦佩感、动机（内部和外部）与 PTSD 之间的关联，研究对象为 2156 名消防员，目的是为该人群找到管理 PTSD 的有效应对策略。研究结果表明，钦佩感与 PTSD 之间存在统计学上显著的负相关关系，动机起到了中介作用。此外，值得注意的是，模型中内部动机与 PTSD 呈负相关，而外部动机则呈正相关。研究结果表明，钦佩感通过动机与消防员 PTSD 相关。具体来说，源于钦佩的内部动机似乎对 PTSD 症状有缓解作用，而外部动机则与这些症状的加重有关。这些结果对于制定理论框架和旨在预防消防员 PTSD 的实际干预措施具有重要意义。
