Exposure to Traumatic Incidents and Prevalence of Posttraumatic Stress Symptomatology in Urban Firefighters in Two Countries
Urban firefighters are at risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due in part to their exposure to duty-related trauma. This study compared duty-related trauma exposures and the prevalences of posttraumatic stress in U.S. and Canadian firefighters. Both samples reported relatively numerous and...

| description | Urban firefighters are at risk for posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) due in part to their exposure to duty-related
trauma. This study compared duty-related trauma exposures and the
prevalences of posttraumatic stress in U.S. and Canadian
firefighters. Both samples reported relatively numerous and frequent
posttrauma symptoms, and the rates of self-reported PTSD prevalence
did not differ significantly. However, analysis of departmental
records for respondents' previous year on duty revealed significant
differences in both frequencies and categories of traumatic incident
exposures. Some of the vulnerability and moderating risk factors
associated with PTSD caseness differed between the U.S. and Canadian
samples. Potential explanations for the observed differences in risk
factors for PTSD in these 2 firefighter samples are considered. |
