Abstract
The article aimed to study the psychological and mental stress that a firefighter goes through. Firefighters experience a high level of anxiety as part of their job nature. Sleep disruption, fatigue, exhaustion, and work-related issues are common issues that continue to test a firefighter's mental and physical health. If the requests are frequent and high stress, there is a potential that the person will develop OCD symptoms. Being stressed at work makes one more likely to get heart disease. Workplace stress can aggravate arterial stiffness, making it a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This study used a content analysis review of the literature published between the years 2017 to 2021 to define the problem, outline its complexities, and find needed solutions from dispersed sources. The study investigated the possibility of long-term effects of long-term psychosocial stressors as it relates to occupational health and safety for firefighters.
