such as age, sex and years in service; determine the stress level of participants in terms of
organizational and operational; determine the coping mechanism used by firefighters in terms of
problem focused and emotion focused; determine the social support received by firefighters in
terms of instrumental and emotional; to compare the stress level of firefighters when they are
grouped based on their socio demographic profile; to know the relationship between stress level
and coping mechanism and analyze the relationship between stress level and social support.
This study used descriptive, comparative and correlational research design. It was
conducted in selected areas in Cavite. A total of 183 participants were asked to answer three
instruments that measured the stress level, coping mechanism and social support.

operational and organizational stress. In coping mechanisms, emotion focused is higher than
problem-focused. In social support, they used emotional social support than instrumental.
Moreover, stress level of firefighters when they are grouped based on their socio-demographic
profile shows that male firefighters are more stressed than females, while stress level in terms
of sex has a significant differences. In addition, firefighters stress level and age as well the
stress level and firefighters year in service has no significant differences. Stress level and
firefighters coping mechanism in terms of problem focused has no significant relationship.
Moreover there is a significant relationship between stress level and coping mechanism in terms
of emotion focused. There is a significant relationship between the firefighter’s stress level and
social support in terms of instrumental and emotional support.

are limited, conducting studies with the same topic in different areas are recommended to the
future researchers. This would somehow to sustain the limited information about stress level,
coping mechanism and social support among firefighters in selected areas of Cavite
