Effective workplace-based interventions after critical incidents (CIs) are needed for emergency medical technicians (EMT)/paramedics.
The evidence for a period out of service post-CI (downtime) is sparse; however it may prevent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and burnout symptoms.
We examined the hypothesis that downtime post-CI is associated with fewer symptoms of four long-term emotional sequelae in EMT/paramedics: depression, PTSD, burnout, and stress-related emotional symptoms (accepted cut-offs defined high scores).
Two hundred and one paramedics completed questionnaires concerning an index CI including downtime experience, acute distress, and current emotional symptoms.
Nearly 75% received downtime; 59% found it helpful; 84% spent it with peers.
Downtime was associated only with lower depression symptoms, not with other outcomes.
The optimal period for downtime was between <30 minutes and end of shift, with >1 day being less effective.
Planned testing of mediation of the association between downtime and depression by either calming acute post-CI distress or feeling helped by others was not performed because post-CI distress was not associated with downtime and perceived helpfulness was not associated with depression.
These results suggest that outcomes of CIs follow different pathways and may require different interventions.
A brief downtime is a relatively simple and effective strategy in preventing later depression symptoms.
