Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate what baseline characteristic is most related with body image satisfaction and identify which items are the lowest score on body image and their related behaviors in female emergency medical technicians(EMTs). Female EMTs(n=96) working in the G provence completed a battery of questionnaires. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that body image satisfaction was significantly associated with physical activity(p=.007, 95%CI: 2.937~19.180) in female EMTs. Subjects were most satisfied with their sex(male or female)(M=3.34, SD=0.72) and they were most dissatisfied with sleep(M=2.61, SD=0.85). The skin protective behavior showed significant difference according to skin concerns(p<.05).

연구의 목적은 여성 구급대원에게 있어서 대상자의 신체이미지(body image) 만족도에 영향을 미치는 일반적인 특성을 파악하고 변수들과 신체이미지와의 관련성을 규명하여 이와 관련된 행동양식의 차이를 파악하는 것에 있다. G지역 소방본부 소속 여성 구급대원(n=96)을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였다. 연구결과 여성 구급대원의 신체이미지에 가장 큰 관련성이 있는 것은 신체활동(p=.007, 95%CI: 2.937~19.180)으로 나타났고 신체활동을 많이 할수록 신체 이미지 만족도가 유의하게 높았다. 신체이미지 중 여성(M=3.34, SD=0.72)에 대해 가장 만족도가 높았으나 수면 영역(M=2.61, SD=0.85)에서 가장 낮은 만족도를 보였다. 피부문제에 따라 피부보호 습관에도 유의한 차이가 있었으며(p<.05) 여성 구급대원의 신체이미지 만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
