Abstract

This study aimed to examine the coping, self-disclosure, rumination, organizational culture and degree of Posttraumatic Growth(PTG) of firefighters who experienced trauma, and to identify the factors that influence PTG. Data collection was conducted for 103 firefighters working at three fire departments located in Gyeongsang-do. As a result of the study, 46(44.7%) PTGs of medium to high level averaged 58.07 points, and the total PTG average was 44.56 points. The influenced factors affecting PTG in firefighters were emotional-focused coping(EFC), self-disclosure(SD), deliberate rumination(DR) and innovative-oriented culture(IOC).The explanatory power of these factors PTG was 45.9%. In order to promote the firefighters 'PTG, it is necessary to approach of EFC, SE, and DR but also an organizational aspect as well as IOC construction, and these results can be used as an arbitration plan to improve the firefighters' PTG.

본 연구는 소방공무원의 대처, 자기노출, 반추, 조직문화와 외상 후 성장(Posttraumatic Growth, PTG)의 정도를 살펴보고, PTG의 영향요인 규명을 위해 시행되었다. 자료수집은 경상도 소재 3개 소방서에 근무하는 소방공무원 103명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 연구결과 중~고 수준 PTG가 46명(44.7%)로 평균 58.07점이었으며 전체 PTG 평균은 44.56점으로 나타났다. PTG에 영향을 미치는 요인은 정서중심대처, 자기노출, 의도적 반추와 혁신지향 조직문화로 나타났으며 네 변수의 PTG에 대한 설명력은 45.9%로 나타났다. 소방공무원의 PTG촉진을 위해 정서중심대처, 자기노출, 의도적 반추 뿐 아니라 혁신지향 문화구축이라는 조직측면의 접근이 필요하며 이러한 결과는 소방공무원의 PTG 향상을 위한 중재방안에 활용될 수 있다.
