Ambulance traffic accidents and their impact on prehospital personnel: a mixed-methods study
Although the risk of on-duty ambulance accidents is low, their psychological consequences are notable. Prehospital personnel request structured post-incident protocols and organisational support to change work culture and enhance safety and well-being. Organisational interventions that address both the operational and emotional dimensions of ambulance accidents are required.
