Abstract

A firefighter career is one of the most demanding in the world. Everyday effort and stress, as well as the dangers of this profession, make it one of the most difficult occupations. Firefighters are exposed to various sources of stress that can cause certain psychological issues. Indicators of stress in firefighters can be classified into physical, emotional and behavioral. There are various ways to prevent the occurrence of stress, as well as how to reduce the effects of stress if it occurs. Significant factors affecting the effectiveness of firefighters during intervention are firefighting equipment, techniques and tactics. However, if the firefighter is not mentally prepared, motivated and trained, the outcome of firefighting intervention could be unpredictable. Therefore, the role of the psychologist is to provide psychological assistance to firefighters after difficult interventions.

Posao vatrogasaca je jedan od najzahtevnijih zanimanja na svetu. Svakodnevni napor, stres i opasnosti na radu, čine je jednim od najzahtevnijih i najtežih zanimanja. Vatrogasci su izloženi različitim izvorima stresa koji mogu izazvati određene psihološke teškoće. Znakovi koji ukazuju na postojanje stresa kod vatrogasaca mogu se klasifikovati u fizičke, emocionalne i bihevioralne. Postoje različiti načini da se spreči i ublaži stres. Važni aspekti koji utiču na efikasnost vatrogasaca u vatrogasnim intervencijama su svakako vatrogasna oprema, tehnika i taktike, ali ako vatrogasac nije dovoljno psihofizički spreman, motivisan i obučen, ishod vatrogasne intervencije je vrlo neizvestan. Uloga psihologa bila bi u pružanju psihološke pomoći vatrogascima nakon teških intervencija.
