چکیده
مشاغل امدادی و بحران‌محور مانند آتش‌نشانی با سطوح بالایی از استرس عملیاتی مواجه هستند که می‌تواند منجر به بروز اضطراب عملکرد در شرایط حاد شود، لذا پژوهش حاضر با هدف پیش‌بینی اضطراب عملکرد بر اساس تاب‌آوری و کیفیت خواب در آتش‌نشان‌ها انجام شد. طرح پژوهش حاضر توصیفی از نوع همبستگی بود و جامعه آماری آن را کلیه آتش‌نشانان شاغل در سازمان آتش‌نشانی و خدمات ایمنی تشکیل دادند که از میان آن‌ها نمونه‌ای به روش نمونه‌گیری در دسترس انتخاب شد. ابزارهای پژوهش شامل پرسشنامه اضطراب عملکرد، پرسشنامه تاب‌آوری و شاخص کیفیت خواب پیتزبورگ بود و داده‌های حاصل با استفاده از آزمون همبستگی پیرسون و تحلیل رگرسیون چندگانه به روش همزمان مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفتند. نتایج آزمون همبستگی پیرسون نشان داد که بین تاب‌آوری و اضطراب عملکرد رابطه معکوس و معناداری وجود دارد و در مقابل، بین کیفیت خواب و اضطراب عملکرد رابطه مستقیم و معناداری برقرار است. همچنین نتایج تحلیل رگرسیون چندگانه نشان داد که متغیرهای پیش‌بین به‌طور معناداری قادر به پیش‌بینی تغییرات اضطراب عملکرد در آتش‌نشانان هستند و در این مدل، هر دو متغیر تاب‌آوری و کیفیت خواب سهم مستقل و معناداری در پیش‌بینی متغیر ملاک دارند. بر اساس یافته‌های این پژوهش، اضطراب عملکرد در آتش‌نشانان تحت تأثیر سازوکارهای روانی و شاخص‌های زیستی-بهداشتی قرار دارد، از این رو برنامه‌ریزی جهت ارتقای مهارت‌های روانی روبرویی با بحران و همچنین بهینه‌سازی ساختار شیفت‌های کاری برای بهبود کیفیت خواب پرسنل، می‌تواند گامی کلیدی در کاهش اضطراب عملکرد و حفظ کارآمدی عملیاتی آتش‌نشانان باشد.

چکیده English

Emergency and crisis-oriented occupations, such as firefighting, involve high levels of operational stress that can lead to performance anxiety under acute conditions, so the present study aimed to predict performance anxiety based on resilience and sleep quality in firefighters. The design of this study was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population consisted of all active firefighters in the Fire-Fighting and Safety Services Organization, from whom a sample was selected using convenience sampling. The research instruments included the Performance Anxiety Questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the obtained data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis (Enter method). Pearson correlation results indicated a significant negative relationship between resilience and performance anxiety and a significant positive relationship between sleep quality and performance anxiety. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the predictor variables significantly predicted the variance in performance anxiety among firefighters, and within this model, both resilience and sleep quality made independent and significant contributions to predicting the criterion variable. Based on the findings, performance anxiety in firefighters is significantly influenced by psychological resources and biological-hygienic indicators, therefore planning interventions to enhance psychological coping mechanisms and optimizing work shift schedules to improve personnel sleep quality can serve as essential strategies for reducing performance anxiety and maintaining the operational efficiency of firefighters.
