Abstract:

Since the transformation of the modern medical model in the 1970s,occupational stress has emerged as a key psychological stressor and become a research focus in academic circles. As the frontline group responsible for treating critically ill patients,prehospital emergency physicians have become a high-risk group for occupational stress due to their professional characteristics,such as a fast-paced work environment,frequent emergencies,and complex doctor-patient relationships. High levels of occupational stress not only undermine the physical and mental health of this group but also may impair the efficiency and safety of medical care,increasing the risk of medical errors. Based on this,this paper systematically collates relevant domestic and international literature,reviews the current research status of occupational stress among prehospital emergency physicians from four perspectives:assessment methods,influencing factors,potential hazards,and intervention strategies,and further explores future research directions. It aims to provide a theoretical reference for alleviating occupational stress among prehospital emergency physicians and ensuring the quality of medical services,while laying a foundation for subsequent research in this field.

Key words: Prehospital emergency physicians, Occupational stress, Research status, Physical and mental health, Medical care, Intervention strategies
