Article Synopsis
- Women make up the majority of emergency call-takers and dispatchers in Poland, and during the early COVID-19 pandemic, they faced significant mental stress related to work demands, family obligations, and gender roles.
- A study surveyed 308 female ECDs to assess their perceived stress levels using The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), revealing that many experienced high stress linked to the number of shifts and children at home.
- The findings underscore the need to consider gender-specific factors when evaluating stress in public health, highlighting higher education's connection to increased feelings of helplessness among women and the protective effect of marriage on stress levels.
