Trauma‐informed organizational climate and its impact on first responder burnout during COVID‐19
研究美国一线应急人员在COVID-19期间，创伤知情组织氛围（安全、信任、选择、协作和赋权）如何缓解角色压力导致的职业倦怠，并识别出沟通、资源、协作等改善工作氛围的因素。
Abstract First responders experience work‐related challenges in higher magnitudes than other occupations. Organizational elements may mitigate or exacerbate burnout for first responders during public health emergencies (e.g., COVID‐19). This mixed methods study of first responders in the United States aims to (1) assess the relationship between a trauma‐informed organizational climate (TIC) and burnout; (2) analyze the moderating effect of TIC on role strain and burnout; and (3) identify how a TIC can mitigate contributors to burnout. Survey data ( n = 3,517) of first responders demonstrate that a TIC (of safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment) negatively correlates with burnout. Further, a TIC moderates the positive relationship between role strain and burnout. Interviews of first responders ( n = 91) reveal that fewer employee interactions, lack of rule‐following behaviors, impaired communication, staffing shortages, and limited time off contribute to burnout. Open communication, resource provision, collaboration opportunities, and creative problem‐solving enhance work climate.
