Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects.

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

49
Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Occupational Health
  • Intervention Studies

Background:

  • Firefighters face significant occupational stress and trauma.
  • Post-traumatic growth (PTG) and social support are crucial for mental well-being in high-stress professions.
  • Rumination, both intrusive and deliberate, plays a complex role in psychological adjustment following trauma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an online post-traumatic growth program for firefighters.
  • To assess the program's impact on rumination (intrusive and deliberate), social support, and PTG.
  • To inform the development of targeted psychological support for firefighters.

Main Methods:

  • A nonequivalent control group pretest-post-test design was used.
  • Participants included 33 firefighters from two Korean provinces (intervention group n=16).
  • The intervention comprised an 8-session online program with a workbook and messenger group counseling, with post-tests at 0 and 4 weeks.

Main Results:

  • Significant increases in post-traumatic growth were observed.
  • Significant improvements in social support were reported.
  • No statistically significant differences were found in intrusive or deliberate rumination.

Conclusions:

  • Online psychological interventions can enhance post-traumatic growth and social support in firefighters.
  • Current program designs may not effectively modify rumination patterns in this population.
  • Future interventions should consider firefighters' specific occupational characteristics and needs, potentially incorporating strategies to induce rumination.
