Influence of working conditions on German paramedics' intention to leave the profession: a cross-sectional study by Thomas Hofmann, Thomas Hofmann, Thomas Hofmann, Michael Stanley, Michael Stanley, Luis Möckel

“…Those who plan to leave the AS immediately [3.82 (SD 0.79)] showed significantly lower EXQ scores than the group who plan to stay in the EMS until retirement [4.92 (SD 0.87); pTukey ≤0.001]. At the same time, it is noticeable that EMS staff often suffer from unfavourable working conditions, such as not being granted breaks, work-related calls during free time, and over time, and significant correlations with the planned length of stay in the paramedic service and exit thoughts were identified here.ConclusionUnfavourable working conditions further aggravate the already existing shortage of qualified personnel in the ambulance service, so measures by various decision-makers are imperative.…”
