Psychosocial Work Stress and Occupational Stressors in Emergency Medical Services.

Emergency medical service (EMS) professionals often experience work stress, which escalated during COVID-19. High job demand in the EMS profession may lead to progressive decline in physical and mental health. We investigated the prevalence of psychosocial job stress in the three levels of EMS: basic, advanced, and paramedic, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Cross Sectional Study Evaluating Psychosocial Job Stress and Health Risk in Emergency Department Nurses.

Nurses experience psychosocial work stress that may negatively affect physical and mental health over time. In this cross-sectional study we investigated prevalence of job stress and oxidative stress in nurses, and determined if significant relationships exist between higher job stress scores and demographic factors and working conditions. Emergency department nurses ( = 42) were recruited from a University Hospital following Institutional Review Board approval.
