Abstract

 Introduction: Ongoing exposure to a variety of Pre-hospital Emergencies (PE) has placed Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) at serious psychiatric compromise such as post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and associated factors of PTSD among EMTs. Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on EMTs in the emergency medical services (EMS) in west of Iran. A baseline information questionnaire including personal work-related characteristics and the PTSD checklist of DSM-5 (PCL-5)were used for data collection. Non-parametric tests andmultivariate linear regressionwere used to evaluate the associated factors of PTSD in these participants. Results: Among the participants, 22% of technicians had PTSD-diagnostic criteria. The mean total PCL-5 score was 21. 60 ± 11. 45, while the scores were 38. 02 ± 6. 08 and 17. 47 ± 8. 36 in the PTSD-diagnosed and undiagnosed groups, respectively. The most common symptom of the clusters was negative alterations in cognition with a mean score of 7. 42 ± 4. 63. After adjusting confounders, the number of missions (t= 2. 50, P= 0. 013), work experience (t=-3. 24, P= 0. 001) and number of shifts (t: 26. 38, P < 0. 001) were significantly corelated with PCL-5 score. Conclusion: The results indicated that the prevalence of PTSD among EMTs personnel of hamadan province is high. EMTs with the age of · 30 years, work experience of · 10 years, married status, informal employment, emergency medical technician’ s degree, and more than 8 shifts per month, as well as no previous training history had a higher total PCL-5 score.
