一、前言

消防工作分秒必爭，人員均以災害現場人命救助為己任，24 小時處於緊繃待命狀態，加以大眾
賦予神格化救難英雄形象，使得消防人員在高度職業使命感下產生的心理壓力，非一般人能理解，也

由於此職業特性，當經歷各種不同災害現場救災救護壓力，長期累積下，容易產生災後創傷壓力，特
別是近期接連如：澎湖復興航空空難、及近期臺北復興航空南港墜機、高雄 0731 石化氣爆、桃園新
屋保齡球館大火等重大災難事件，不僅是參與救災的消防同仁，甚至所有外勤消防同仁在面對瞬息萬

變的救災現場，可能都會累積相當大的災後創傷壓力。
由於這種心理壓力層面問題，對於消防人員個人並無立即健康危害，不自覺得組織文化及任務結
束後未及時減壓，即繼續備戰下次災害，使得部分消防同仁創傷壓力未能有效舒緩而持續累積，終究

會影響到團隊整體的救災戰力。

Every second counts in the job of a firefighter, and all of them take it upon themselves to assist and save the
lives of those caught up in disasters, working 24 hours on stand-by. Added to this is the hero-status granted
to the rescuers by the public, which puts them under a lot of psychological pressure that most people cannot
appreciate. However, because of the special characteristics of the job, they are prone to suffering from post-
traumatic stress disorder when under the pressure of conducting disaster relief in the long-term. This has
especially been the case with the Penghu TransAsia Airways plane crash, and the recent TransAsia Airways
crash in the Nangang district of Taipei, the July 31st Kaohsiung Sinopec gas explosion, the Taoyuan bowling
alley fire and other major disasters. It is not just the firefighters involved in disaster relief that may suffer
from PTSD, but also any workers who take part in the rapidly changing disaster scene.
