We focus on members of the Czech Fire and Rescue Service (n = 145) and the Czech Police (n = 149) that handle emergency calls. We hypothesized that the most significant stressors would be calls involving suicidal intent and calls involving injured children. We further hypothesized that there would be differences in the perceived stressors based on gender and component of the integrated rescue system (IRS) (i.e., Police vs. Fire and Rescue Service). In-depth interviews with IRS managers were conducted to uncover specific work-related stressors. The stressors identified were evaluated through an online questionnaire using a six-point Likert scale. The results showed that the worst stressors were calls with suicidal intent, calls where the location of the caller was unclear or unknown, and calls involving injured children. Based on a factor analysis of stressors, eight categories were explored: Threat to life, Non-emergency calls, Communication, Noise, Localization, Understanding, Children and seniors, and Time pressure. Three of the eight categories, Non-emergency calls, Communication, and Understanding, were perceived differently relative to the branch of the IRS, and two factors, Non-emergency calls and Understanding, were perceived differently relative to gender. The gender results of the study may be limited because gender distribution was not equal, i.e., there are generally fewer women in the IRS, especially in the Police branch. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Czech Technical University of Prague. The individual respondents gave consent by responding to the questionnaire.
