Weight management and its educational differences among retired individuals living with obesity—a salutogenic approach
A salutogenic orientation, which focuses on health and well-being rather than illness, was evident in many ways in how participants approached their weight management. Educational differences were moderate overall and hinted at specific characteristics of how the resources were utilized. Comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness were evident in the results for both educational groups. According to the results of this study, retired ind…
Advanced-level paramedic perspectives on competence requirements for responding to radiological/nuclear incidents
The threat of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) incidents has been a topic of increasing concern in recent years, and the need for increasing preparedness and competence among the first responder professions is widely recognized. This qualitative study explored advanced-level paramedic perspectives on competence requirements for responding to radiological/nuclear (R/N) incidents. This study utilized reflective essays (n=26) w…
Impacts of Post Critical Incident Seminar on emergency service personnel
INTRODUCTION: Post Critical Incident Seminar (PCIS) is an intervention originally developed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for supporting law enforcement officers who have faced critical incidents (CIs) at work. In Finland, police forces have arranged modified PCIS regularly since 2012, but the first PCIS for emergency service personnel was organized in 2020. PCIS consists of psychoeducation, peer support, and mental health professi…
Supporting emergency service workers to cope with critical incidents that can lead to psychological burden at work - developing skills in the Post Critical Incident Seminar
Based on the results, attending a Post Critical Incident Seminar may be effective in developing skills to overcome critical incidents that can lead to psychological burden. Further follow-up studies should investigate how acquired skills from the Post Critical Incident Seminar practically affect emergency service workers and their well-being in the longer term
Decision‐chain integrity and sustainment of the individual placement and support model
The individual placement and support (IPS) model is an evidence‐based practice proven effective in aiding individuals with mental disorders to achieve and maintain competitive employment. This study examines how policy and structural factors are perceived to influence the model's sustainment as routine practice after a national development project in Finland. We aim to identify critical dimensions related to decision‐making at the national, regio…
Explanations for sickness absence due to common mental disorders
Over recent decades, sickness absence due to common mental disorders has increased among young workers. The phenomenon is mostly understood on the basis of epidemiological research, and knowledge regarding the viewpoints of young workers themselves is lacking. Our study explored the explanations for mental health-related sickness absence in the narrative accounts of young workers in high-risk health and social care occupations. Semi-structured na…
Recent Paramedic Graduates’ Chronic Stress Adds Intentions to Leave the Profession
Paramedics have mentally and physically demanding jobs, and chronic stress is not uncommon. Recently graduated paramedics, in particular, have been identified as needing support in their early careers. This pilot study examined chronic stress experienced by recent graduate paramedics and their intentions to leave the paramedic profession. Finnish paramedics encompass qualifications to work in various nursing sectors. This pilot study was a cross-…
Preparedness for mass gatherings
Mass gatherings create a need for careful pre-planning and preparedness due to their impact on authorities' resources and potential delays in response for emergencies. The aim of this study was to investigate all aspects of preparedness for mass gatherings from a multi-sector expert board's point of view. Delphi-process was carried out involving experts from rescue service, emergency medical services, event organizers and on-site medical care pro…
Finnish paramedics’ professional quality of life and associations with assignment experiences and defusing use – a cross-sectional study
Finnish paramedics' more frequent experiences of social emergencies, traumatic events, and paramedic-directed threat situations were associated with higher levels of STS and BO. STS was also associated with paramedics' increased need for defusing and use of informal peer defusing, although neither STS, BO or CS scores associated to any defusing form. Managing paramedics STS and BO, while fostering CS, could therefore be a future research focus
