To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of PTSD
in firefighters and provide basis for early detection of psychological problems
and psychological intervention, in this study, 3 624 firefighters in Shanghai
were followed up with PCL-5, social psychology questionnaire and demographic
data. The results showed that：the total incidence of PTSD symptoms was
2.90%；There were significant differences in PCL-5 scores of
firefighters in job category, age, working hours, education level and annual
number of rescues（p<0.001）；Hierarchical regression analysis showed
that, resilience, general self- efficacy, professional identity, friend support
and collective self- esteem were protective factors, neuroticism and open
personality and negative coping style were risk factors（p<0.01）. The individual susceptibility factors
and social psychological factors of firefighters can affect the occurrence of
PTSD, mental health education and psychological training should be carried out
