Area of Science:

  • Emergency medicine
  • Occupational health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Air medical crewmembers experience high levels of occupational stress.
  • Secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue are significant risks in this profession.
  • Existing support systems may be insufficient to address these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess professional quality of life in air medical crewmembers.
  • To identify factors contributing to secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and compassion satisfaction.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a peer support intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative research using the Professional Quality of Life Scale.
  • Assessment of demographic variables, secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and compassion satisfaction.
  • Comparison of pre- and post-intervention scores after a 16-month peer support program.

Main Results:

  • Crewmembers with less experience and lacking support systems were most vulnerable to negative outcomes.
  • Scores suggested potential effectiveness of peer support for mitigating stress and burnout.
  • No significant differences were found based on clinical role, marital status, or years of experience.

Conclusions:

  • Peer support may combat secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout in air medical personnel.
  • The intervention is particularly beneficial for new crewmembers lacking social support.
  • Targeted peer support can enhance the well-being of high-risk air medical crewmembers.
