本研究探讨消防员社区心理感、社会支持网络与照护者压力与满意度之间的关系。没有显着的性别差异，但零阶相关表明所有四个变量之间的显着关系。在社会支持满意度的中介作用，部分中介的心理社区感对照顾者的满意度，以及完全中介的心理社区感对照顾者的压力。因此，对他们所获得的支持感到满意的消防员可能会比那些对支持满意度低的消防员经历更少的护理压力。今后的研究应更广泛地评估这些关系在其他领域的公民责任的公共服务的雇员，以划定有效的支持渠道。(C)2004 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
This study examined the relationship between psychological sense of community, social-support networks, and care-giver stress and satisfaction among firefighters. No significant gender differences were obtained, but zero-order correlates demonstrated significant relationships among all four variables. In examining the mediating effects of social-support satisfaction, partial mediation for psychological sense of community on care-giver satisfaction was determined, as well as full mediation for psychological sense of community on care-giver stress. Therefore, firefighters who are satisfied with the support they receive may experience less stress with their care giving than those who experience low levels of support satisfaction. Future studies should assess these relationships more extensively in other areas of civic responsibility among public-service employees to delineate effective support avenues.
