Abstract

The purpose of this study was to closely examine the influence of field-shock experience and post traumatic stress perceived by fire officials upon somatic symptoms and coping methods. A survey was carried out targeting 362 male and female fire officials who are working at fire safety centers where are located in Gangwon-do Province. The collected data were used SPSS 19.0 and AMOS 19.0 for Windows. It carried out frequency analysis, factor analysis for validity and reliability, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ analysis, descriptive statistics and correlation. For hypothesis verification, an analysis was carried out by using structural equation modeling. All the statistical analyses were set for the significant level in p<.05. The results are as follows. First, the perceived field-shock stress was indicated to have influence upon post traumatic stress. Second, the perceived field-shock stress was indicated to have influence upon somatic symptom. Third, the perceived field-shock stress was indicated to have influence upon a coping method. Fourth, the post traumatic stress was indicated to have influence upon somatic symptom. Fifth, the post traumatic stress was indicated to have influence upon a coping method. Sixthly, the somatic symptom was indicated to have influence upon a method of coping with stress.

본 연구는 소방공무원들의 지각한 현장출동 충격 경험과 외상 후 스트레스가 신체증상 및 대처방식에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 강원도 소재 소방안전센터에 근무하고 있는 소방공무원 남녀 362명을 대상으로 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 Windows용 SPSS 19.0과 AMOS 19.0을 사용하여 빈도분석, 타당도와 신뢰도 분석을 위한 요인분석과 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ 분석, 기술통계와 상관관계를 실시하였고, 가설 검정을 위해 구조방정식 모형을 이용한 분석을 실시하였다. 모든 통계분석은 유의수준은 p<.05로 설정하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 지각한 현장출동 충격 경험은 외상 후 스트레스에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 지각한 현장출동 충격 경험이 신체증상에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 지각한 현장출동 충격 경험은 대처방식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 외상 후 스트레스는 신체증상에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 외상 후 스트레스는 대처방식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 여섯째, 신체증상은 대처방식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결론으로 볼 때 충격적 스트레스를 해소하기 위한 제도적 방안으로 전 세계적으로 검증이 되어 실제 운영되고 있는 위기상항 스트레스 해소법(Critical Incident Stress Debriefing : CISD)을 소방서의 실정에 맞게 도입하여 운영하는 것이 필요할 것이다.
