Abstract
To hypothesize that social support may protect against the effect of firefighter stress on suicidal ideation. Overall, 334 firefighters completed measures of occupational stress, social support, and suicidal ideation. At high levels of social support, no association was observed between occupational stress and suicidal ideation (φ = -.06, ns); however, when social support was low, occupational stress showed a positive association with suicidal ideation (φ = .16, p < .05). The association between occupational stress and suicidal ideation may be reduced by social support. Further research on this topic is warranted.
