Abstract

In spite of the efforts to reduce traffic accidents of commercial vehicles, the number of driving under the influence (DUI) of commercial drivers has been increasing. This study examines the effect of stress coping style of commercial drivers on driving behaviors. Specifically, this research aims to find the role of life stress as a mediator in the relationships between the stress coping style and problematic drinking behaviors. 1308 licensed commercial vehicle drivers participated in this research. Results showed that life stress mediated the relationships between problem focused strategies, wishful thinking strategies, passive avoidance strategies and problematic drinking behaviors. These findings indicate that educating drivers to change their stress coping styles would be helpful to inhibit them from being involved in drunken driving.

최근 사업용운전자들의 음주운전이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 사업용운전자들의 음주문제행동에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 스트레스 대처방식을 상정하고 스트레스 대처방식이 생활스트레스를 증가시켜 음주문제행동에 영향을 주는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 총 1308명의 사업용운전자들이 연구에 참여하였다. 연구결과, 사업용운전자들의 스트레스 대처방식으로 문제해결, 조력추구, 정서적 완화, 소망적 사고, 수동적 회피 5개 방식이 확인되었으며, 이 중 문제해결, 소망적 사고, 수동적 회피 대처방식에서만 생활스트레스의 매개효과가 관찰되었다. 즉 문제해결 전략을 적게 사용할수록, 소망적 사고와 수동적 회피 전략을 많이 사용할수록 생활스트레스는 높았으며, 이것은 다시 음주문제행동을 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 스트레스 대처방식에 대한 운전자 교육의 필요성을 시사하고 있다.
