Abstract Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the relationship between trauma symptoms and emotional dysregulation among first responders, including police officers, traffic police, firefighters, and paramedics. First responders play a vital role in safeguarding communities but are routinely exposed to highly stressful and emotionally charged situations such as accidents, violence, and large-scale traumatic events. Repeated exposure to such distressing circumstances can contribute to significant psychological strain, leading to trauma symptoms that affect emotional stability and overall functioning. Trauma symptoms include responses such as intrusive memories, avoidance, and hyperarousal, whereas emotional dysregulation refers to persistent difficulties in managing and responding to emotional experiences in an adaptive manner. A quantitative correlational research design was adopted, with a sample of 200 first responders aged 20 years and above. Data were collected using standardized psychological scales: the Impact of Event Scale–Revised (IES-R) and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Statistical analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between trauma symptoms and emotional dysregulation (r = .654, p < .001). The findings also indicated moderate levels of both variables, with mean scores of 31.96 and 97.45 respectively. The results support the research hypothesis, highlighting a significant relationship between trauma symptoms and emotional dysregulation among first responders
