The research seeks to identify the role of the initial training course for professional firefighters in the proficiency level of leadership competences in trainees at the Lisbon Fire Service. To achieve the objectives of the investigation, the researchers adopted a quantitative method with a longitudinal case study research design, using a questionnaire of leadership competences, applied to 126 trainees of the Initial Training Course for professional firefighters from Lisbon Fire Service (case study), at three different moments during a one-year training period (longitudinal study). From the obtained results, it was concluded that the leadership competences with the highest level of proficiency at the end of the course are problem solving, participatory leadership, delegative leadership, conflict management, influence by example, task orie...

Thus, the most common and most serious consequence of sleep desynchronization due to shift work is the quantity and quality of sleep, that is, 40 to 80% of industrial workers have sleep disorders, compared to those who only work during the day, and see their sleep period reduced between 1 and 4 hours, especially affecting phase 3 and REM sleep[2]. The impact of night shifts on health points to a cause-effect relationship in the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in 40% of shift workers, of both sexes[3]. Many of the effects of shift work and sleep desynchronization only manifest late, even after individuals have ceased their shift work. Activities related to security services (fire and police), as well as in the health area (doctors, nurses, and technicians) are those that retain individuals in this type of regime, even though they are not well adapted to changes in circadian rhythms. These shift work-induced changes end up affecting not only sleep, but also extending to physical and mental health support factors, such as physical activity, diet, and personal care[1]. For this reason, it is suggested that shift schedule should be done according to the rotation clockwise and according to the "morning, afternoon, night" scheme and not the other way around[2,4], as well as limiting night shifts to three to avoid sleep deficit[5]. The effects of sleep loss, when compared with the effects of the influence of alcohol on individuals, suggest that fatigue may represent limitations identical to those of a blood alcohol rate (BAR) of 0.9g/l or higher, especially during work periods of more than 24 hours[6]. Sleep loss, associated with work periods of 80 to 90 hours per week, can lead to limitations equivalent to a BAR of 0.5g/l, mainly affecting attention, alertness and driving[7].
