Abstract

Background: Rescue service interventions for patients with behavioral disorders are quite common. The aim of this study is to analyze interventions of Polish State Fire Service units in incidents involving health threats to victims with behavioral disorders.

Materials and methods: This study used data from the Decision Support System of the State Fire Service. Events in the period of 1 January 2020 at 00.00-31 December 2022 at 23:59 were used for analysis.

Results: In the 2020-2022 period, firefighters were dispatched 321 times to interventions concerning injured individuals with behavioral disorders. Isolated emergency medical incidents most often concerned mental disorders (23%) and least often concerned suicide attempts (8%) (p = 0.033). It was shown that the duration of the intervention (emergency care time) was significantly longer in the case of interventions related to the autumn period (p < 0.001).

Conclusions: Our results describe parameters associated with behavioral health responses within the Polish fire service.

波兰消防员在 2020-2022 年期间参与行为失常干预的情况：事件观察。

背景：针对行为障碍患者的救援服务干预相当普遍。本研究旨在分析波兰国家消防局各单位在涉及行为障碍患者健康威胁的事件中采取的干预措施：本研究使用了国家消防局决策支持系统中的数据。分析对象为 2020 年 1 月 1 日 0 时至 2022 年 12 月 31 日 23 时 59 分期间发生的事件：在 2020-2022 年期间，消防员共出动 321 次，对有行为障碍的受伤人员进行干预。孤立的紧急医疗事件最常涉及精神障碍（23%），最少涉及自杀企图（8%）（p = 0.033）。结果表明，与秋季有关的干预持续时间（急救时间）明显更长（p < 0.001）：我们的研究结果描述了与波兰消防部门行为健康应对措施相关的参数。
