Method and Procedure
Present study tested 120 male rescue workers falling between 20 to 40
years of age. All these participants were serving against various
positions in a government rescue department. All participants
participated voluntarily and signed a consent form prior to
participation. The participants included Emergency Medical Technician
(EMT), Lead Fire Rescuer (LFR), Light Transport Vehicle (LTV) and Fire
Rescuer (FR).
All participants completed following psychological tests.
- Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (Kristensen, Borritz, Villadsen &
Christensen, 2005)
- Self-efficacy scale (Jerusalem & Schwarzer, 1979)
- The satisfaction with life scale (Diener, Emmons & Larsen, 1985)
During the testing participants were allowed to leave the testing if it
was not convenient for them to continue. The participants completed the
tests in approximately 25 to 30 minutes. SPSS (23) was used to assess
the responses of the participants.
