Evaluation of Anger Status of Health Care Professionals of the Emergency Ambulance Services: A Questionnaire Study

Abstract

Objectives: Anger is the emotional state experienced as a result of being unable to express oneself in positive ways in the face of an individual's desire, needs and plans to be obstructed and to suffer injustice. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the anger level and its way of expression on emergency medical service staff by using the Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scale Material and Method: This study was performed between 01.05.2017 and 01.06.2017 by using the State-Trait Anger Inventory on 112 commands and control center staff in the European part of Istanbul. Participants were divided into groups according to age, gender and occupation. Results: When the scores obtained from the subscales of the State-Trait Anger Inventory according to gender were examined, the average scores of males were higher. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the scores of the subscales of the State-Trait Anger Inventory of the participants. A negative relationship between anger and anger-control was determined. Conclusion: There is no significant difference in anger level and its way of expression according to gender, age and different occupational groups of the healthcare professionals in the emergency ambulance services and the increase of anger level decreases anger control. So it may be beneficial to give training to the healthcare professionals working in emergency ambulance services to recognize their anger and manage their control.
