  • Through semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, four main stressors were identified: exposure to traumatic events, relationships and communication issues, the training program environment, and career expectations.
  • Despite cultural differences, the contributors to stress were largely similar in both countries, suggesting that better preparation and support could help mitigate these stressors for paramedic students cross-culturally.
