This study attempts to examines the relation between traumatic stress symptoms and the use of work leave in an anonymous sample of emergency-service workers who are not currently seeking compensation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 86 paramedics completed questionnaires that addressed exposure to traumatic events, use of mental health stress leave, social support, current level of distress, and personality patterns. Comparisons were made between groups who had used mental health stress (MHS) leave and those who had not. Logistic regression was used to determine the best predictors of using leaves.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Current levels of social support were associated with previous use of mental health stress leave. In addition, significantly more individuals who had taken MHS leave in the past reported posttraumatic stress symptoms in the high or severe range. People with personality patterns characterized by suspiciousness, hostility, and isolation and having a tendency toward demanding, controlling, and manipulative behaviour in relationships were also more likely to have taken an MHS leave.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although social support and trauma symptoms were associated with the use of MHS leave, in this study, personality style was the strongest factor differentiating those individuals who took MHS leave from those who did not.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/070674370204701007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,20]],"date-time":"2017-07-20T10:19:42Z","timestamp":1500545982000},"page":"953-958","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["Posttraumatic Symptoms and Disability in Paramedics"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Cheryl","family":"Regehr","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Associate Professor, Faculty of Social Work and Institute for Medical Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario; Director, Centre for Applied Social Research, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gerald","family":"Goldberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Staff Psychologist, Toronto Emergency Medical Services, Toronto, Ontario; Lecturer, Department of Psychology, York University, Toronto, Ontario; Lecturer, Division of Management, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Graham D","family":"Glancy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant Professor, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario; Clinical Assistant Professor, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Theresa","family":"Knott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PhD Candidate, Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.178.1.76"},{"key":"bibr2-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jts.2490090106"},{"key":"bibr3-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jts.2490020302"},{"key":"bibr4-070674370204701007","first-page":"383","volume-title":"Psychological services for law enforcement.","author":"Solomon R","year":"1986"},{"key":"bibr5-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005053-199901000-00004"},{"key":"bibr6-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.152.1.116"},{"key":"bibr7-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005053-200112000-00006"},{"key":"bibr8-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.282.5.433"},{"key":"bibr9-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005053-198801000-00004"},{"key":"bibr10-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.173.6.482"},{"key":"bibr11-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.169.6.717"},{"key":"bibr12-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0079363"},{"key":"bibr13-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005053-199809000-00009"},{"key":"bibr14-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.63.3.361"},{"key":"bibr15-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/070674370104600207"},{"key":"bibr16-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.139.9.1118"},{"key":"bibr17-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005053-199911000-00005"},{"key":"bibr18-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jts.2490090303"},{"key":"bibr19-070674370204701007","volume-title":"Posttrauamtic stress disorder litigation: Guidelines for forensic assessment","author":"Slovenko R.","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr20-070674370204701007","volume-title":"Posttrauamtic stress disorder litigation: Guidelines for forensic assessment","author":"Resnick P.","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr21-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ps.53.2.210"},{"key":"bibr22-070674370204701007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/smi.2460070104"},{"key":"bibr23-070674370204701007","unstructured":"Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.
