Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of post-traumatic stress on anxiety of national merits of war and to investigate the moderating effect of ego resilience on the relationship between variables. We collected data on 200 national merits of war from August 2017 to October 2017 and examined general characteristics, post traumatic stress, anxiety, and ego resilience by using SPSS 24.0 Statistics Program. Post-traumatic stress was positively correlated with anxiety (r=.426, p<.001) and negatively correlation with ego-resilience (r=-.297, p<.001), respectively. Anxiety was negatively correlated with ego-resilience (r=-.656, p<.001), and ego-resilience was found to have a moderating effect on post-traumatic stress and anxiety (F=45.796, p<.001). Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop a national education system to manage post-traumatic stress and to operate a training and management program considering the characteristics of the subjects.

본 연구는 참전 국가유공자들을 대상으로 외상 후 스트레스가 불안에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 변수 간의 관계에서 자아탄력성의 조절효과를 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 자료 수집을 위해 2017년 8월부터 2017년 10월까지 참전 국가유공자 200명의 일반적 특성을 비롯한 외상 후 스트레스, 불안, 자아탄력성을 조사하여 SPSS 24.0 Statistics Program을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 외상 후 스트레스는 불안(r=.426, p<.001)과 정적 상관관계, 자아탄력성(r=-.297, p<.001)과는 부적 상관관계를 보였으며, 불안은 자아탄력성(r=-.656, p<.001)과 부적 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 자아탄력성은 외상 후 스트레스와 불안과의 관계에서 조절효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다(F=45.796, p<.001). 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 참전 국가유공자들의 외상 후 스트레스 관리를 위한 국가적인 대책마련과 대상자 특성을 고려한 교육 및 관리 프로그램 개발 및 운영이 요구된다.
