评论布雷特·斯诺(Brett Snow)

作为我在临床基督教咨询方面的博士学位论文的一部分,我完成了该项目,以表明消防服务中常见的情感/心理副作用之间可能存在关联。我觉得重要的是,与消防舞台上的所有研究者分享我的一部分研究很重要,因此我们有一天可能会赢得消防服务和世界上的压力。There are numerous studies looking at different forms of stress and how they contribute to the development of emotional and psychological issues such as traumatic exposure, sleep deprivation, compassion fatigue, etc. Unfortunately, what has received very little attention is the measurement between one’s diagnosis of emotional/psychological issues and their faith.

Method Used:

使用Google表单的匿名问卷。问卷由11个多项选择问题组成,这些问题与国际杂志一起发布在众多消防网站上。为了保持随机参与并帮助减少偏见的反应,避免了任何基于信仰的站点或杂志。这项调查产生了577个回复,考虑到少数部门人员人数大于500的部门,为消防部门提供了合理的代表。(PTSD),诊断非特异性的情绪/心理问题,婚姻状况,酗酒,离婚历史,对上帝的信仰,信仰的改变,消防服务是否导致了信仰的变化以及教会/宗教机构的出席。对数据的粗略分析表明,被诊断出患有情感/心理问题的人与与上帝的不健康关系之间可能存在关联(在本文中,与上帝的不健康关系是指与基督教上帝没有融洽的关系,而不是参加教会)。令我惊讶的是,相信上帝的成员的比例,但数据还显示了很大一部分未参加教堂或其他宗教机构的信徒。尽管相信上帝是永生的关键,但还必须通过行动来支持信仰,例如寻求言语,祈祷,慷慨地生活,谦虚等。“因此,您会看到,信仰本身是不够的。除非它产生良好的行为,否则它已经死了且无用。” (James 2:17, NLT). If an individual is not attending church or other religious services, it is then reasonable to believe they are not practicing believers. Is it correct to say that in order to follow God one must go to church? Not necessarily but measuring church attendance is a simple way to compare having faith to practicing faith.

研究讨论

从这项研究中收集的信息并非旨在表现出任何形式的因果关系,因此不会证明。该研究项目的总体意图或假设是查看消防服务的负面影响与对上帝的信仰的状态之间是否存在相关性。为了更清楚地了解此数据,提供了一个对PTSD的简短示例。

PTSD

577响应,50是回应diagnosed with PTSD. Out of those fifty members, 29 were believers, and 14 of the believers claimed to not be regular churchgoers. If we were to combine the number of non-believers (NB) with the number of believers not attending church on a regular basis, non-followers (NF), it would result in a total of 34 (68%) of the fifty members potentially experiencing an unhealthy relationship with God. Next, the years of service can be separated to see if the time duration in the fire service can have a determining affect. After organizing the data into three separate categories of service time, the results were not as expected. It would seem logical that the longer an individual is in the fire service, the more likely he or she would experience the negative effects common to this profession. However, the data from this survey shows that for a member of the fire service to develop PTSD, an accumulation of events over an extended period of time may not be a necessary factor. According to the data, whether a member has fewer than 10 years or greater than 20, the possibility of developing PTSD is nearly the same.

使用研究数据的假设情况

The rough statistics gained from this survey is being applied to a hypothetical, large municipal fire department having 5,000 members. By applying the same percentages from this survey to that of a large municipal fire department we can better understand the significance of having a healthy relationship with God.

5,000名成员:

PTSD:5,000 =的8.6%430 members/ of which 292 (68 percent) were NB/NF

Emotional/psychological- 19 percent of 5,000=950 members/of which 855 (90 percent) were NB/NF

Divorced- 28 percent of 5,000=1,400名成员/其中882(63%)为NB/NF

非信徒800(16%) +非关注器2,000(40%)=2,800(56%)

在考虑这种情况下的结果时,重要的是要了解每个类别是单独计算的,并且它们之间可能存在重叠。例如,个人很有可能经历令人不安的离婚,并且被诊断出患有情感/心理问题,例如抑郁症。一个很可能是另一个原因的原因,或者根本没有相关性。因此,为了避免使研究讨论复杂化,排除了给定类别的总和。最重要的是,每个类别中提供的非信徒(NB)/非关注器(NF)的百分比需要大大关注。

对于那些被诊断出患有PTSD的人来说,一半以上的人可能会与与上帝的不健康关系共存。作为一名32年的消防人员资深人士,我可以证明该世界上可怕的事件的长期暴露。我们根本无法消除过去或不经验的过去。我们能做的就是接受基督作为我们的主和救主,并将我们所有的负担放在他的脚下。“来找我,所有疲倦并承受沉重负担的人……。”(马太福音11:28-30,NLT)。当某人继续携带昨天时,他们可能会在情感上筋疲力尽,使他们有倾听欺骗者的谎言的风险,告诉他们自杀是唯一的选择。如果没有与上帝的健康关系或一体性,我们可能会被这个世界的邪恶所压倒和/或屈服。

在这种情况下查看情感/心理类别时,应该注意到那些非信徒或非关注者的人中有一个令人震惊的百分比。在声称诊断为情绪/心理问题的受访者中,只有100%的受访者是非信徒或非旅行者,这表明需要与上帝建立健康的关系。尽管情绪/心理问题的类别是非特异性的,并且可能涉及许多疾病,例如精神障碍诊断和统计手册(DSM)中发现的疾病(DSM),但该类别的目的仅是为了获得定量数据,无论它是焦虑还是抑郁症,along with trying to determine an association with one’s faith or lack thereof.

离婚是另一个引起人们关注的领域,不仅在消防服务中,而且在普通人群中。28%的工人经历或经历过离婚的任何业务都可以期望在公司内部遇到一定程度的负面影响。离婚会造成影响整个家庭和工作场所的使人衰弱的压力。当我经历一次重大离婚时,我当时对过时的婚姻和家庭法感到愤怒,此后发生了变化。结合其他残留问题,这使我处于挫败感和不宽容状态。随之而来的是恶化的健康问题和睡眠剥夺,所有这些都对我的工作表现产生了深远的影响。我无法专注于击打大火的危险,这使我无法充分履行担任军官的角色。最终,这迫使我从前线中脱离了自己,直到我能够在我的生活中完全接受基督并继续致力于寻求和理解他关于如何过我们的生活的指示来找到和平。

非信徒(NB)/非关注器(NF)

When the number of non-believers were combined with the number of non-followers, the total came to be 58 percent of the total number of personnel. The significance of these figures gives rise to a potential association between the development of emotional/psychological issues and an unhealthy relationship with God, which simply cannot be ignored.

The final data analysis of this project demonstrated evidence of a potential association in members experiencing emotional/psychosocial related issues coupled with an unhealthy or nonexistent relationship with God compared to those having faith in God as well as practicing their faith. More research in this area is needed to show a direct link to the emotional/psychological risk of not having or maintaining a healthy relationship with God. As a Clinical Pastoral counselor, it would be easy to tell members of the fire service as well as other individuals that if they want to have a life full of joy and spiritual richness, simply read and follow what is instructed in Romans 12. When those same individuals are living each day walking in doubt or under the power of an emotional imbalance, it is unreasonable to expected them to comprehend why Romans 12 seems unachievable for them. If we always understood why we do or think the things we do, we could just change it or continue it according to our own desires.

我的其他研究计划是研究急救人员中发生的情感队服,以及渴望消防员没有机会完成训练任务的失去影响。这是我最新调查的链接。如果我们都可以分享它,以便更好地理解压力发展的被忽视的前体,我将非常感谢。
