Post-Traumatic Stress, Workplace Violence, Resilience, and Burnout: A Path Analysis Among Korean Paramedics.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Paramedics frequently encounter potentially traumatic events and workplace violence, increasing their risk of burnout. Resilience may attenuate these effects. We examined the pathways through which post-traumatic stress (PTS) and workplace violence influence burnout and clarified the role of resilience among Korean paramedics. Methods: We studied duty-related trauma and violence experienced by 208 Busan Fire Department paramedics using standardized measures of PTS, workplace violence, resilience, and burnout. Using structural equation modeling, we tested the direct and indirect effects; covariates included sex, nursing license, and intention to stay. Results: PTS was most strongly associated with burnout, whereas workplace violence was indirectly
