Posttraumatic Symptoms and Disability in Paramedics
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The concern that secondary gain may result in an overreporting of trauma symptoms in those seeking compensation or taking stress leave from work has raised questions about the relation between posttraumatic stress and disability. This study attempts to examines the relation between traumatic stress symptoms and the use of work leave in an anonymous sample of emergency-service workers who are not currently seeking compensation.
