Abstract

Fire service personnel operate in highly demanding and hazardous environments, exposing themto traumatic events, irregularschedules, and intense physical and psychological demands. Consequently, occupational stress and burnout significantlyaffect theirwell-being, job satisfaction, and productivity. Although research on firefighter burnout and stress management has expanded, findingsremainfragmented. This study applies a bibliometric approach to systematically analyze global literature on occupational burnout andstressmanagement in fire services. Publication trends, influential authors and journals, collaboration networks, and dominant researchthemesare examined, with particular attention to Maslach’s Burnout Theory, stressors, coping strategies, mental healthoutcomes,andorganizational support. Results reveal rapid growth in publications since 2014, dominance of research fromdevelopedcountries,andnotable gaps in developing and emerging economies. By mapping the intellectual structure of this field, the study consolidatesexistingknowledge and identifies future research directions to inform evidence-based policies and interventions aimed at enhancingfirefighterwell-being and organizational effectiveness.
