Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the association between quality of sleep (QOL) and the general characteristics, the health-behavioral factors, and the occupational characteristics of firefighting officers. The survey was conducted in October 2016 with a self-administered questionnaire using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) developed by Pittsburgh University, targeting 600 male firefighting officers working at five fire stations in D city. As a result, the QOL of the study subjects measured by the PSQI revealed 13.2% to be good, and 86.8% to be poor. In relation to general characteristics and health habits, the rate of the group who had poor quality sleep was significantly higher in those with a lower subjective health status, in the non-smoking group, and in the low sleep-quality group, compared to the good sleep-quality group. For occupational characteristics, the rate of those with poor quality sleep was significantly higher in groups such as the fire suppression group, the shift work group, the hard physical labor group, the group with a lower sense of satisfaction in their work, and in the group classed as unfit for the job but who were not considering quitting their jobs, compared to their respective counterparts. Multiple regression analysis revealed factors of influence with explanatory powers of 24.4% for subjective health status, alcohol use, subjective quality of sleep, career, job position, and physical labor. The results of this study suggest that the quality of sleep for firefighting officers is significantly related to general characteristics, health-behavioral characteristics, and occupational characteristics.

본 연구는 소방직공무원들의 수면의 질을 평가하고, 이들의 일반적 특성, 건강습관특성 및 직업적 특성과 수면의 질과의 관련성을 규명하고자 시도하였다. 조사는 2016년 10월에 D광역시의 5개 소방서에 근무하고 있는 남성 소방직공무원 600명을 대상으로 Pittsburgh대학에서 개발한 수면의 질에 관한 질문 표(PSQI)를 사용한 자기기입식 설문조사에 의하였다. 연구결과, 전체 조사대상자의 13.2%는 "수면의 질이 좋은 군"으로, 86.8%는 "수면의 질이 좋지 않은 군"으로 나타났다. 일반적 특성 및 건강습관 특성별 수면의 질은 주관적인 건강상태가 좋지 않을수록, 흡연군보다 비흡연군에서, 주관적인 수면의 질이 높다는 군보다 낮다는 군에서 "수면의 질이 좋지 않다는 군"의 비율이 유의하게 높았다. 직업적 특성별 수면의 질은 다른 업무보다 화재진압을 한다는 군에서, 비교대근무군보다 교대근무군에서, 업무의 신체적 부담이 낮은 군보다 높은 군에서, 업무에 대한 만족도가 높은 군보다 낮은 군에서, 업무에 대한 적성도가 높은 군보다 낮은 군에서, 현재의 소방직에 대한 직업전환의사가 없다는 군보다 있다는 군에서 "수면의 질이 좋지 않다는 군"의 비율이 유의하게 높았다. 다중회귀분석결과, 수면의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 주관적 건강상태, 음주상태, 주관적인 수면의 질, 근무경력, 직위, 업무의 신체적 부담정도가 유의한 변수로 선정되었으며 이들의 설명력은 24.4%이었다. 위와 같은 연구결과는 소방직공무원들의 수면의 질은 일반적 특성, 건강습관 특성 및 직업적 특성의 여러 요인들과 유의한 관련성이 있음을 시사하고 있다.
