Understanding the Challenges Faced by First Responders
Police officers, firefighters, paramedics,
and EMTs
who may be exposed to multiple and often life-altering incidents, often encounter all sorts of
details
of victims and have to work with victims of crime, which is very stressful. The cumulative
stress of
these experiences can lead to:
- Emotional Exhaustion: Work-related stress in the context of first responders arises from the
fact that
they have to work in environments where exposure to traumatic events is inherent; this may lead
to
constant feelings of burnout in the performers.
- Compassion Fatigue: As such compassion fatigue may occur when a person is continually exposed
to the
suffering of others which causes them to develop a higher tolerance, thus making them
insensitive to
suffering people.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): More than half of the first responders develop PTSD,
and have
more headaches; they’ll have more flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety.
- Anxiety and Depression: Anxiety and depression respond as a consequence of chronic stress and
pressure
in the workplace.
- Substance Abuse: Emergency workers include a certain portion of the addict population. Some of
them
may turn to alcohol or drugs as a method of coping with the trauma and stress of their job.
- Relationship Strain: Stress can erode interpersonal relationships and cause married first
responders
to experience loneliness.
