A study examined the psychobiological responses of Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical doctors and paramedics during high-fidelity training scenarios over two weeks. The research found that emergency situations trigger stress responses that are essential for dealing with threats, but repeated exposure to emergencies can lead to burnout. The study highlights the importance of recovery periods for maintaining the health and well-being of medical professionals. Results showed higher stress and biological responses during training days compared to weekends, emphasizing the need for recovery. The research underscores the need to address the impact of repeated physiological activation on the health and well-being of emergency medical professionals to prevent burnout.
