Healthy volunteers: 1
Enrollment: 500

Summary
First Responders are expected to maintain high-performance levels under extreme conditions.
However, constant intense workplace stress, physical work demands, and irregular shift hours are taking a severe toll on frontline workers.
These demands often lead to physical and mental health problems, poor job performance, and lifestyle issues.
Without better support and resources, these demands will continue to cause first responders to be trapped in a vicious cycle that typically includes occupational trauma, stress, and maladaptive coping skills.The purpose of this research is to:Better understand the physiological, psychological, and cognitive impacts workplace stress and irregular shift hours have on first respondersBetter understand the most prominent challenges first responders face when trying to manage their own physical and mental health.Through the results of this study, we hope to identify possible solutions/interventions at the individual, clinical and departmental levels to help first responders better manage their stress and improve their quality of life.
