目的：本研究旨在探讨消防员的回避应对方式对创伤后应激症状（PTSS）和工作倦怠的影响，并考察领悟社会支持在回避应对方式与PTSS和工作倦怠关系中的中介作用。方法：采用创伤后应激障碍量表（PCL-5）、职业倦怠量表（MBI-GS）、应对方式量表（CSI）和领悟社会支持量表（PSSS）对南京市某消防学校431名消防员进行测评。测试结果：结果表明：（1）消防员的回避应对与PTSS、工作倦怠均呈正相关;（2）消防员的回避应对通过领悟社会支持的中介作用与PTSS、工作倦怠均呈正相关。结论：这些研究结果不仅为相关部门今后预防消防员心理健康问题提供了指导性信息，而且对消防员心理干预也有一定的启示，即鼓励消防员积极面对和解决问题，采取积极的应对方式，并尽可能给予更多的关心和支持。
Objective: The study aims to explore the effects of avoidant coping on posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and job burnout among firefighters, and to examine the mediating role of perceived social support on the relationship between avoidant coping and PTSS and job burnout. Method: Assessments including the posttraumatic stress disorder checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), Coping Style Inventory (CSI), and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) were conducted among 431 firefighters studying in a school specializing in training firemen in Nanjing, China. Result: The results show that: (1) Avoidant coping was positively related to PTSS and job burnout among firefighters; and (2) avoidant coping was positively related to PTSS and job burnout through the mediating effect of perceived social support. Conclusion: These findings not only provide guiding information for relevant departments to prevent mental health issues of firefighters in the future, but also enlighten the psychological intervention for firefighters, that is, to encourage firefighters to actively face and solve problems and adopt positive coping styles, as well as offer them more care and support whenever possible.
