The Physiological Effects of Firefighters in Response to the Duality of Heat and Emergency Crises
Abstract
The article aimed to study the psychological and mental stress that a firefighter goes through. Firefighters experience a high level of anxiety as part of their job nature. Sleep disruption, fatigue, exhaustion, and work-related issues are common issues that continue to test a firefighter's mental and physical health. If the requests are frequent and high stress, there is a potential that the person will develop OCD symptoms. Being stressed at work makes one more likely to get heart disease. Workplace stress can aggravate arterial stiffness, making it a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This study used a content analysis review of the literature published between the years 2017 to 2021 to define the problem, outline its complexities, and find needed solutions from dispersed sources. The study investigated the possibility of long-term effects of long-term psychosocial stressors as it relates to occupational health and safety for firefighters.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
