Guía de estrategias de autocuidado y de gestión emocional para el personal operativo del Benemérito Cuerpo de Bomberos Voluntarios de Cuenca, período marzo - agosto 2023

Abstract

Emotional management is essential for handling emotions and promoting self-care in different situations. This study aims to create a guide for self-care and emotional management strategies specifically for the Volunteer Firefighters of Cuenca. A quantitative and descriptive investigation was conducted, using a non-random sample of 40 firefighters. An anonymous and voluntary questionnaire was administered, and the data were analyzed using tools such as Google Forms, SPSS, Jamovi, and Microsoft Excel. The results indicated that while firefighters can identify their emotions, they need support in terms of self-care and emotional management strategies. Therefore, the goal is to create a guide that considers both common and uncommon emotions, with the aim of promoting self-care and improving emotional management.
