Perceived stress and coping strategies after unsuccessful cardiopulmonary resuscitation among pre-hospital emergency technicians: A multicenter cross-sectional study. | LitMetric

Background: Effective stress management after unsuccessful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) requires the determination of perceived stress and identification and reinforcement of effective coping strategies. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine perceived stress and coping strategies after unsuccessful CPR for the first time among Iranian pre-hospital emergency technicians.

Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational, multicenter study was conducted in 2022. The research population included all pre-hospital emergency technicians working in 44 urban, road, and aerial pre-hospital emergency stations in 22 counties of Ilam Province, west of Iran. A total of 374 technicians worked in these stations, which were included in the study by census method according to the inclusion criteria. The data collection tools were the Questionnaire of perceived stress after unsuccessful CPR and Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE) Inventory. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS software version 27 using descriptive and analytical statistics (Pearson correlation test, multiple linear regression analysis, independent sample T-test, and ANOVA) at a significance level of p ≤ 0.05.

Results: The perceived stress was at a moderate level with a mean score of 65.56 ± 14.21. Among six coping strategies, problem-focused coping had the highest (3.01 ± 0.59) and denial had the lowest mean value (1.94 ± 0.79). Perceived stress had a significant direct relationship with 5 coping strategies, including problem-focused coping, support-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, self-distraction, and religion (p < 0.05). The strongest relationship was found between perceived stress and self-distraction followed by emotion-focused coping. According to the results of multiple regression analysis, emotion-focused coping and self-distraction had predictive roles.

Conclusion: The participants used different coping strategies to cope with the stress of unsuccessful CPR. The most common coping mechanisms used by the participants were problem-focused, emotion-focused, and support-focused coping. Pre-hospital emergency officials can assist pre-hospital emergency technicians in coping with occupational stress, including the stress of unsuccessful CPR, through organizing educational courses, teaching effective coping strategies, and offering support programs.
