Which of the following is an effective stress management strategy?

Developing a social network outside of EMS
Frequently reflecting on troublesome calls
Modestly increasing caffeine consumption
Requesting overtime to occupy your mind

The correct answer is: Developing a social network outside of EMS

Developing a social network outside of EMS is an effective stress management strategy because having a support system of friends and family who are not directly involved in the EMS field can provide a fresh perspective and a healthy outlet for sharing feelings and experiences. This can help alleviate stress and provide emotional support. Reflecting frequently on troublesome calls (Choice B) may actually increase stress and anxiety rather than manage it effectively. Modestly increasing caffeine consumption (Choice C) can lead to heightened anxiety and disrupt sleep patterns, exacerbating stress levels. Requesting overtime to occupy your mind (Choice D) may only temporarily distract from stressors and can potentially contribute to burnout by increasing workload and reducing time for rest and self-care.
