Abstract

Emergency response tasks (ERTs) have to be performed in very challenging and stress-inducing task environments. Research has revealed that performance in ERTs is affected by emergency preparedness which in turn can be linked to the Mental Readiness (MR) of ERT personnel. This concept emerged originally from sports psychology and was found to play a key role in peak performance of top athletes. However, MR has never been used to explain performance variations in different ERTs. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to scrutinize if MR can have an effect on stress, task performance, and the operational success in ERTs. A sample of 319 people working in ERTs such as emergency medical technicians, firefighters, intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, and surgeons was surveyed. The results show that ERT personnel seem to benefit differently from the MR dimensions. Practical implications for mental training and human performance programs are discussed.

应急任务中的心理准备

应急响应任务(ERTs)必须在非常具有挑战性和压力诱导的任务环境中执行。研究表明，应急反应小组的绩效受到应急准备的影响，而应急准备又与应急反应小组人员的心理准备(MR)有关。这个概念最初来自运动心理学，并被发现在顶级运动员的巅峰表现中起着关键作用。然而，MR从未被用于解释不同ert的表现差异。因此，本研究的主要目的是仔细检查MR是否会对ert中的压力、任务绩效和操作成功产生影响。该研究调查了319名在急诊医疗中心工作的人员，如紧急医疗技术人员、消防员、重症监护病房(ICU)护士和外科医生。结果表明，ERT人员似乎从MR维度中获益不同。讨论了心理训练和人类表现计划的实际意义。
