Description
This research explores stress in Queensland Firefighters. A survey aimed to investigate symptoms of stress to identify early signs that would assist in developing resilience and early intervention programmes. The findings showed that stress symptoms could be grouped according to level of concern and supports the argument for early intervention. A second study used Neurofeedback as an intervention to investigate whether symptoms of stress could be improved. The findings also showed that symptoms of stress were reduced and suggests that this intervention is helpful and should be considered for further research.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
