dc.description.abstract | Background
The aim of this study was to explore potential associations between compliance with the traditional
male role norms and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
Methods
The study was conducted on 135 male Polish firefighters. The study used the Impact Event
Scale-Revised, the Relations/Social Support Scale and the Male Role Norms Scale.
Results
The study revealed that the firefighters that suffered from probable PTSD (over 34% of all
the respondents) seemed to comply with the male role norms more strictly than those without
PTSD. The reverse was found to be true for the perceived social support. Social status
norms and toughness norms understood as expectations that men should achieve high status
by means of successful career, etc., and be tough and resilient at all costs to be perceived
as “manly” were found to be positively associated with the development of PTSD,
while in the case of perceived social support, a negative association was confirmed. The
results might yield important clinical implications—traditional male role norms pertaining to
toughness and social status might be associated with the increase in chances of developing
PTSD after the exposure to potentially traumatic events.
Conclusions
Firefighting as a stereotypically masculine occupation may be associated with the reinforcement
of stereotypically masculine behaviors, which in turn is associated with a decreased
ability to cope with potentially traumatic stimuli and favoring maladaptive behaviors. The
results might suggest that addressing the beliefs about masculinity during psychological
intervention in the case of PTSD might be beneficial especially among such masculinized
groups as firefighters. The main limitations of the study are: participation of those more
eager to participate and reveal personal information; the recall and report bias; the relatively small sample size; sociodemographic data omissions; the study group almost exclusively
consisting of firefighters from large urban centers. | pl_PL |
