Abstract: Paramedics responding to emergencies have proven to have an impact on their mental health and well-being. Therefore, measuring and initiating resilience promotion and development during the educational process could promote health in this group. This study aims to cross-sectionally examine the self-reported resilience levels of bachelor paramedic students at a large Australian university. A cross-sectional study using a convenience s le of first-, second- and third-year bachelor paramedic students was used from a large Australian university. The student’s resilience was measured using the 25-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) during 2019. Two-hundred and twenty-nine students participated in the study, of which 55% were females. The total mean score for the CD-RISC was 72.6 [standard deviation (SD) = 13.2). The CD-RISC mean score of the first-, second- and third-year levels were 75.3 (SD = 13.2), 70.5 (SD = 14.4) and 73.8 (SD = 10.4), respectively, with no significant statistical difference ( p -value = 0.1) and of which the second year formed the major s le (44.5%). Additionally, our findings show no significant variation in the CD-RISC mean score between males [70.8 (SD = 12.9)] and females [74.1 (SD = 13.3)], with p -value = 0.09. The study findings suggest that paramedic students have moderate levels of self-reported resilience. These results, while specific to one university, provide essential data for the paramedic profession in addressing an important issue facing all paramedics around the world.

Abstract: There is a need for short, reliable, sensitive assessment tools to measure social cognition. The Awareness of Social Inference Test (TASIT) is an ecologically valid instrument that uses videos of actors engaged in everyday conversations to assess emotion perception, the ability to detect lies, sarcasm and sincerity, and the ability to judge what others are thinking, intending, feeling, and saying. A recently developed short version of TASIT retains the structure of the original test and its clinical sensitivity. In this paper, we compare TASIT-S performance in healthy adolescents, adults, and older adults as well as the effects of country (U.S.A. and Australia), English familiarity and gender. In this study 616 Australians including 226 adolescents (13-19) and 390 adults aged 20-75 + along with 180 U.S. residents (aged 20-74) completed one, two, or three parts of TASIT-S either face to face (Australians) or on-line (US residents). Results indicated that there were minor differences in TASIT-S performance (Part 3 only) based on country of residence and no significant effects for English familiarity in adolescents (not examined in adults). There were no gender effects. Young and middle aged adults (20-59) tended to perform better than adolescents and older adults on most parts of TASIT-S. In general, TASIT-S scores decreased moderately with advancing age. In conclusion, TASIT-S is a useful screen for social cognitive impairment in English speakers that is appropriate for use from adolescence through to older age. It produces comparable scores in the U.S.A. and Australia.
