The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the level of stress that the volunteer firemen of the Province of Cordoba have. The instrument was applied to a representative sample of 306 firefighters from 17 institutions, from risk topography areas (mountain ranges) and from the plain. An exploratory, transversal and observational study was carried out using the "Stress Impact Scale-Revised" (EIE-R) version presented in 1997 by Weiss and Marmar. Results: From the evaluation of stress it was found that 36.07% present emotional discomfort linked to the measured dimensions of stress, with 110 cases in the category with stress. Of the dimensions of stress in the high scores, 95 cases showed hyperactivity (31.15%), 91 intrusion (29.74%) and 78 avoidance (25.49%). The results show that discomfort was associated with the educational level of firefighters, linking a higher level of stress at the lowest educational level (p<0.05) compared to the full university level. It is concluded that of the total sample studied, more than one third shows a level of emotional discomfort linked to stress. En los sistemas de emergencias el estrés juega un rol fundamental, ya que por su naturaleza la emergencia nunca deja de ser novedosa, porque no puede ser anticipada en su totalidad y solo se la termina de conocer cuando se ha manifestado por sí misma. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar el nivel de estrés que tienen los bomberos voluntarios de la Provincia de Córdoba. Se aplicó el instrumento a una muestra representativa de 306 Bomberos de 17 Instituciones de las sierra , zonas de topografía de riesgo (montañas) y del llano. Se efectuó un estudio exploratorio, transversal y observacional mediante la “Escala de Impacto del Estresor – Revisada” (EIE-R) versión presentada en el año 1997 por Weiss y Marmar. Resultados: en la evaluación de estrés resultó que el 36,07% presenta malestar emocional ligado a las dimensiones medidas de estrés, con 110 casos en la categoría con estrés. De las dimensiones del estrés en los puntajes altos, 95 casos mostraron hiperactividad (31,15%), 91 intrusión (29,74%) y 78 evitación (25,49%). Los resultados muestran que el malestar se asoció al nivel educativo de los bomberos, vinculando un mayor nivel de estrés en el nivel educativo más bajo (p<0,05) respecto al nivel universitario completo. Se concluye que del total de la muestra estudiada, más de un tercio demuestra un nivel de malestar emocional ligado al estrés. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
