Bombeiros são expostos a exigências extremas. Esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar capacidade para o trabalho e qualidade de vida dos bombeiros e profissionais do resgate; caracterizar seu perfil sociodemográfico, condições de saúde, trabalho e estilo de vida; relacionar escores do Índice de Capacidade para o Trabalho (ICT) e qualidade de vida entre si e com características sociodemográficas, condições de saúde, de trabalho e estilo de vida; identificar variáveis que afetam a capacidade para o trabalho e a qualidade de vida. Estudo epidemiológico transversal, descritivo, com aplicação de três questionários: 1) dados sociodemográficos, estilo de vida e aspectos de saúde e trabalho (QSETS); 2) ICT e 3) Questionário sobre qualidade de vida (WHOQOL-BREF), versão em português. A população de estudo foi composta por 90 bombeiros e profissionais de resgate de Campinas. A idade média foi de 36,4 ±7,8 anos, a média semanal de horas trabalhadas foi de 63,7 horas, 60% acima dos profissionais celetistas brasileiros, possuíam ensino médio (43,2%), faixa salarial entre R$1555,00 e R$3172,00. Consideraram seu estado de saúde melhor que outros de mesma idade (76,1%), 31,1% tiveram dor nos últimos seis meses e, 20,2% na última semana; 82,2% referem dormir bem, 72,7% apresentavam IMC acima de 25Kg/m2, 28,4% tinham outro emprego, trabalhavam com resgate, em média, há 8,6 anos e 78,4% declararam-se satisfeitos com seu trabalho. O ICT variou entre 18 e 49 pontos, média de 41,7 e 45,5%, foram enquadrados na categoria ótima capacidade para o trabalho. Diferenças significantes entre ICT e variáveis foram identificados em satisfação com o trabalho, estresse, tempo que está trabalhando no local, percepção do estado de saúde comparada as pessoas da mesma idade, presença de dor nos últimos seis meses ou na ultima semana, peso e IMC. Foram aplicados três modelos de regressão linear, com variável dependente "escore do ICT" e controle o sexo e idade: modelo 1 (variáveis independentes de condições de trabalho) teve como resultados satisfação com trabalho (p=0,0043) e exposição a riscos (p=0,0360) R20,17; modelo 2 (variáveis de estilo de vida) com IMC (p=0,0043) R2 0,21; e, modelo 3 (variáveis de condições de saúde) com percepção do estado saúde (p=0,0073), dor últimos seis meses (p<0,0001) e estresse (p0,0001) R20,45. Dos domínios do WHOQOL-BREF as médias foram: Físicos (74,6), Psicológico (75,2), Relações sociais (76,5), Ambiental (58,7). Houve correlação positiva entre ICT e os domínios físico, psicológico e ambiental. Houve associação significante entre as variáveis presença de dor nos últimos seis meses com os domínios físico e ambiental; presença de dor na última semana com o domínio físico; percepção de estresse e estado de saúde comparada as pessoas da mesma idade com todos os domínios; satisfação com o trabalho com os domínios psicológico e ambiental; horas de sono com domínio físico e realizar trabalho doméstico e estudar com domínio psicológico. Os resultados podem contribuir para outros estudos, para gestores do resgaste e formuladores de políticas públicas, para melhorar as condições de vida e trabalho destes trabalhadores. Este estudo integra à Linha de Pesquisa Trabalho, saúde e educação / Abstract: The work is a determining factor concerning health conditions and professionals with more demanding can have higher risk for injuries. Firefighters are exposed to extreme demands. This research aimed to evaluate work ability and quality of life of firefighters and rescue professionals; characterize their sociodemographic, health conditions, work and lifestyle; scores relate Work Ability Index (WAI) and quality of life among themselves and with sociodemographic characteristics, health status, work and lifestyle; identify variables that affect the work ability and quality of life. A cross-sectional descriptive study, with application of three questionnaires: 1) sociodemographic, lifestyle and health aspects, and work (QSETS); 2) WAI and 3) Questionnaire on Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF), the Portuguese version. The studed population consisted of 90 firefighters and rescue workers from Campinas. The average age was 36.4 ± 7.8 years, average weekly hours worked was 63.7 hours, 60% higher than the Brazilian CLT professionals, had high school education (43.2%), salary range between R $ 1,555 ,00 and R $ 3,172.00. It was considered their health better than others of the same age (76.1%), 31.1% had pain in the last six months and 20.2% in the last week; 82.2% reported sleeping well, 72.7% had a BMI above 25Kg/m2, 28.4% had another job, worked with rescue, on average, for 8.6 years and 78.4% declared themselves happy with their work. The WAI ranged between 18 and 49 points, averaging 41.7 and 45.5% were classified in the category great work ability. Significant differences between ICT and variables were identified in job satisfaction, stress, time working on the site, perceived health status compared with people of the same age, presence of pain in the last six months or the last week, weight and BMI . Three linear regression models were applied, with dependent "WAI score" and control the sex and age variables: Model 1 (independent variable working conditions) had results as satisfaction with work (p = 0.0043) and expo, sure to risks (p = 0.0360) R20, 17; Model 2 (lifestyle variables) and BMI (p = 0.0043) R2 0.21; and Model 3 (variables of health conditions) with perceived health status (p = 0.0073), pain last six months (p <0.0001) and stress (p0, 0001) R20, 45. The WHOQOL-BREF averages were: Physical (74.6), Psychological (75.2), social relations (76.5), Environmental (58.7). There was a positive correlation between WAI and physical, psychological and environmental domains. There was a significant association between the variables presence of pain in the last six months with the physical and environmental fields; presence of pain in the last week with the physical domain; perceived stress and health status compared with people of the same age with all areas; job satisfaction with the psychological and environmental domains; hours of sleep with the physical domain and perform household chores and study with the psychological domain. The results may contribute to other studies, the data for managers and policy makers to improve the conditions of life and work of these workers.

Myndigheten för samhälle och beredskap (MSB) är den myndighet som på central nivå ska verka för och utveckla förmågan till effektiva räddningsinsatser. I dess uppgift ingår att stödja räddningstjänsterna med information, utbildning och övningsverksamhet. På kommunal nivå svarar kommunerna inom sitt geografiska område och insatserna utförs av räddningstjänsten. Anställda inom räddningstjänsten består av både heltidsanställda brandmän och räddningspersonal i beredskap (RiB), det som tidigare kallades för deltidsbrandmän. RiB är den vanligaste typen av anställningar på mindre tätorter. Att rekrytera in RiB har blivit ett problem och en utmaning för kommunerna då människor inte längre bor och arbetar på samma ort. Kan kommunerna inte rekrytera in personal får de svårt att upprätthålla den beredskap som de enligt lag är skyldiga att ha. De personer som väljer att bli RiB är beroende av att huvudarbetsgivare godkänner detta. Här kan man se att det skett en minskning inte bara bland de privata företagarna utan även bland de offentliga arbetsgivarna. Syftet med vår undersökning är att få RiB:s perspektiv på hur kompetensförsörjningen till räddningstjänsten ska se ut i framtiden. Vi har valt att använda oss av en kvalitativ undersökning i form av intervjuer. Våra respondenter är 13 RiB-anställda som har arbetat i räddningstjänsten mellan 1 och 30 år och är i åldrarna 20-58 år. De arbetar på fyra olika brandstationer någonstans i Sverige och det gemensamma för alla fyra stationer är att de är belägna på mindre orter. Vi har analyserat vårt intervjumaterial och kopplat det till våra teorier. Resultatet visar att respondenterna är medvetna om problemet med att bemanna upp brandstationer på mindre orter och de har många idéer kring en möjlig lösning på problemet. De ser dock fortfarande ljust på framtiden, att RiB på ett eller annat sätt kommer att finnas kvar. / The Swedish Rescue Agency is the central authority body that shall promote and develop the capacity for effective emergency and rescue work. Within its responsibility is support to the rescue crews with information, education and training development. The council is responsible for rescue and emergency services within council boundaries. Employees with emergency services consist of both of full-time firemen and standby rescue crew. They used to be called part-time firemen and are known today as standby rescue crew. The standby crews are most commonly employed in smaller villages.  Recruiting standby rescue crew has always been a problem and a challenge for small councils due to the fact that there are less people to choose from that work and live in the same place. This creates a problem of having enough staff there required by law. People who choose to become part-time firemen are dependent on their main employees to approve their needs as part-time firemen. Due to private and public employees being less tolerant to the needs required to be part-time firemen there has been a reduction in their numbers. Our main purpose is to get the standby rescue crews perspective on how the emergency services can recruit employees in the future.  We have chosen to use a qualitative study in the form of interviews. Our respondents are 13 part-time firemen that have worked as rescue crews between 1 and 30 years and are aged between 20 to 58. They work in four different fire stations throughout Sweden and have in common that they are all placed in small communities. We have analyzed our interviews and linked them to our theories. The result shows that the respondents are aware of the problems of having enough crew at the stations in smaller communities and they have many ideas for a possible solution to the problems. They are feeling positive that standby crews will be around in the future in one form or another.

Despite high levels of exposure, firefighter posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) rates are unclear. Likewise, questions remain regarding how social interactions and beliefs about emotion might interact to influence PTSD in firefighters. In this study, U.S. urban firefighters (N = 225) completed measures of social support, negative social interactions, and fear of emotion which were then used via regression analyses to predict PTSD symptoms. Each independent variable predicted PTSD beyond variance accounted for by demographic variables. Additionally, fear of emotion emerged as the strongest individual predictor of PTSD and a moderator of the relation between social interactions and PTSD symptoms. These findings emphasize the importance of beliefs about emotion; both in how these beliefs might influence the expression of PTSD symptoms, and in how the social networks of trauma survivors might buffer distress.

in English This diploma thesis analyzes the legislation focused on the internal security of the state, especially it is focused on fire protection units and integrated rescue system. The aim of the diploma thesis was to open the problematic issues of the relevant legislation. The first part deals with the theoretical analysis of the relevant legislation and the second part contains research that is aimed at verifying the application of this legislation in practice. The first chapter deals with the factual definition of the components of the integrated rescue system, both the basic components and other components. It also discusses the basic coordination of the components of the integrated rescue system. The second chapter describes the factual definition of fire protection units in relation to other components of the integrated rescue system and then presents the various types of fire protection units. Individual types of fire protection units are defined in terms of their division, material definition, establishment, organizational structure and personnel substrate. The third chapter already deals with some narrowly defined aspects. The chapter describes the mutual cooperation and operation of fire protection units, including the introduction of the institute of the intervention commander, which...

Occupational burnout continues to be a topic of great interest to those individuals who are concerned with the influence of work stress on mental health. Although many workers from a variety of occupations have been the focus of studies of burnout, there are few studies of burnout in firefighters. In conjunction with studying the obvious factors which are believed to be related to burnout in workers, there has been a call for researchers to include personality variables in the study of work stress. Neuroticism has been found to be related to the identification of work-related stressors as well as to be related to the impact of the stressors on workers. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceived work-related stressors of firefighters and to determine the predictors of burnout after controlling for age and the personality variable of neuroticism. The research participants for this study included 142 firefighters from the Western U.S. Participants completed questionnaires that included demographic data, work-related background information, perceived work-related stressors, a measure of burnout, and a measure of neuroticism. Following an analysis of the quantitative data obtained from the questionnaires, ten firefighters were interviewed for the purpose of gaining in-depth information regarding the responses in the questionnaires. The findings of this study indicated that there was a great deal of variety in what each participant perceived to be a work-related stressor. A content analysis technique yielded 12 categories of stressors: coworker conflict, patient-related, general work duties, administration, sleep-related, budget-related, change in work station, personal, danger to self, 9-1-1 abuse, public-related, and child abuse. The results of the hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that after controlling for age (step 1), neuroticism (step 2) predicted approximately 21% of the variance in emotional exhaustion, 9% of the variance in depersonalization, and almost 7% of the variance in personal accomplishment. After controlling for age and neuroticism, objective and perceived work-related stressors accounted for an additional 14.6% of the variance in emotional exhaustion and for 13.9% of the variance in depersonalization. Only the objective work-related stressors accounted for an additional 8.9% of the variance in personal accomplishment.

This thesis describes Japan's modern system of community fire brigades, a federated civilian paramilitary organization dedicated to localized fire prevention and response with a current active membership of over 800,000 men and women. Auxiliary firefighting institutions in Japan have had comparatively high rates of participation vis-&agrave;-vis those of other nations, but are now facing acute recruitment difficulties in the face of increased competition from alternative venues for civic engagement since the mid-1990s. This suggests both the tractability of civil society as an extra-statal sphere of institutionalized social organization as well as the inherent pluralism of its vernacular expression. I demonstrate that the nationalization of the fire brigade system in 1894 was predicated on the existence of an autonomous and normative sphere of age-graded practices of inter-household mutual aid in the villages of Tokugawa Japan. The gradual absorption and redirection of these practices into the nation-building projects of the Meiji state and its successors realized the creation of a functional emergency service organ with universal penetration at minimal expense. Nevertheless, drawing on Maurice Bloch's theory of rebounding violence, I argue that the secular rituals and state symbolism used to achieve this encompassment have conferred a legacy of structural ambivalence between civility and uncivility that continues to inform perceptions and representations of the brigade in public discourse. It follows that the phenomenon of organizational aging and questions of recruitment and succession should be seen as ideological in nature, rather than as simple indices of wider demographics or social transformation. This thesis is based on data collected during twenty months of research in Japan between 2008 and 2010, including eleven months of continuous participant observation with a brigade in Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture. Extensive ethnographic interviews with local firefighters, community members, and town officials are supplemented with data from primary and secondary historical sources, including online discussion forums. This thesis contributes to the literature on local voluntarism in Japan, as well as to the wider anthropological project of documenting non-western models of civil society.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Lais Alves Costa Monteiro.pdf: 3267912 bytes, checksum: 9f2b65e50deaa02b28a4133a050eb2d3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-07-29 / This research, conducted in the area of Languages for Specific Purposes, aims at carrying out a needs analysis of English for aviation firefighters from Guarulhos International Airport and for a specific group of Brazilian Air Force students, in order to provide elements that will be served, a posteriori, as a basis for redesigning the course of English for Aviation Firefighters. The theoretical background of this study is based upon the concept of English for Specific Purposes, provided by Hutchinson e Waters (1987), Robinson (1991), Dudley-Evans and St. John (1998), Long (2005) and Ramos (2005). This qualitative research is based on case study methodology according to Stake (1998) and Yin (2005). Questionnaires and interviews were administered to military students of an aviation firefighter course in Brazilian Air Force and to aviation firefighters from Guarulhos International Airport. Also, some official documents were consulted, establishing a triangulation of sources and methods, as claimed by Long (2005). The obtained data were compared and interpreted. Results provide important information on the main tasks using the target language, which require the use of conversation and reading skills. The results also demonstrate that both aviation firefighters and students have difficulty in using conversation skills, since the former use it occasionally, while the later never make use of it. Nevertheless, comparing the obtained data, it was revealed, in this research, that the need for learning conversation skills was perceived as being relevant, because: a) it is related to the main operational activity of an aviation firefighter, that is, saving lives in an aeronautical accident; b) it is necessary in an emergency situation, considered a safety factor; c) this skill poses much difficulty for the participants. Moreover, according to their responses, students feel motivated in learning this skill. The results provide contributions for a redesign of Aviation Firefighters English Course at EEAR that meets the identified demands, as well as contribute, in a broad sense, to research carried out on Languages for Specific Purposes LSP / Esta pesquisa, inserida na área de Línguas para Fins Específicos, tem por objetivo realizar a análise das necessidades de uso da língua inglesa no desempenho das atividades dos bombeiros de aeronáutica do Aeroporto Internacional de Guarulhos, e das necessidades de alunos do Curso de Formação de Bombeiros de Aeronáutica da Escola de Especialistas de Aeronáutica (EEAR), com o intuito de fornecer subsídios para um possível redesenho do curso de Inglês para Bombeiros de Aeronáutica. A fundamentação teórica do presente estudo baseia-se nos preceitos da abordagem de ensino de Inglês para Fins Específicos (ESP), fornecidos, sobretudo, por Hutchinson e Waters (1987), Robinson (1991), Dudley-Evans e St. John (1998), Long (2005) e Ramos (2005). A pesquisa é de base qualitativa, com referencial metodológico do estudo de caso, segundo as orientações de Stake (1998) e Yin (2005). Foram aplicados questionários e entrevistas semiestruturadas a alunos do Curso de Formação de Bombeiros de Aeronáutica da EEAR, e também a bombeiros do Aeroporto Internacional de Guarulhos, bem como foram consultados documentos oficiais, estabelecendo-se assim uma triangulação de métodos e fontes, conforme preconizado por Long (2005, p.28) no que se refere à análise de necessidades. Foram mapeadas as tarefas e definidas as necessidades da situaçãoalvo, assim como as necessidades de aprendizagem dos alunos. Os resultados revelam informações relevantes acerca das principais tarefas realizadas em língua inglesa, das quais a maioria requer a habilidade de falar-ouvir (conversar) em diversas situações e ler, sobretudo manuais de equipamentos, viaturas e aeronaves, o que pressupõe domínio da linguagem técnica da área. Em relação às dificuldades, tanto os bombeiros quanto os alunos informaram ter dificuldade em utilizar a habilidade de falar-ouvir, sobretudo porque os alunos nunca a utilizam, ao passo que os bombeiros a utilizam ocasionalmente. Em contrapartida, comparando os dados coletados, foi revelada que a necessidade de falar-ouvir é percebida como relevante para a profissão, pois: a) está associada à atividade operacional principal do bombeiro de aeronáutica (salvamento de vidas humanas envolvidas em acidentes aeronáuticos); b) é necessária em um contexto emergencial, situação de vida ou morte e, portanto, considerada fator de segurança na execução da atividade de salvamento; c) é a habilidade que mais oferece dificuldade aos bombeiros e alunos participantes. Além disso, alunos informaram estar motivados a aprender esta habilidade. Os resultados da pesquisa poderão ser utilizados como base para o redesenho do curso de Inglês para Bombeiros de Aeronáutica da EEAR que atenda às necessidades identificadas, bem como contribuem, em um aspecto mais amplo, para as pesquisas sobre a Abordagem de Ensino e Aprendizagem de Línguas para Fins Específicos - LinFE no Brasil
