Investigating the association between received support and perceived support: a cross-sectional study among 389 Danish ambulance personnel

Listen to this summary

This study investigates the relationship between various types of received support and the overall perception of support among Danish ambulance personnel, aiming to clarify how specific support types influence perceived support. The findings reveal that certain forms of support, including debriefing, formal peer support, and informal managerial and collegial support, are significantly associated with higher perceived support levels. The authors emphasize the importance of implementing a multifaceted support strategy to enhance mental health outcomes in this high-stress profession.
