초록

연구목적 소방공무원은 직무 환경 상 항상 비상대기를 해야 하는 스트레스 상황에 처해있으며, 지속적인 외상적 사건에의 노출로 인해 불면, 우울을 포함한 다양한 정신질환에 취약 해지기 쉽다. 이에 소방공무원들의 직무 유형별 정신건강요인의 차이 유무를 살펴보고, 특히 그 중에서도 업무의 지장 및 불편을 줄 수 있는 불면과 신체화 증상과의 관련성을 보고자 한다. 방 법 충청북도 소재 지역 소방서에 근무하는 소방공무원 1264명을 대상으로 자기보고식 설문지를 통하여 일반적 특성 및 관련 검사를 수행하였다. 불면증 심각성 척도(ISI), 신체화 증상 척도(PHQ-15), 사건 충격 척도(IES-R-K), 스트레스 척도(PSS-10), 회복탄력성 척도(K-CD-RISC-2), 알코올 의존 선별검사 척도(AUDIT-K), 역학연구센터 우울 척도(CES-D) 및 국제 신경정신평가(MINI-plus)의 자살 척도를 활용하여 정신건강상태 현황 조사 및 요인 간의 관련성을 평가하였다. 결 과 정신건강요인들 중 불면증과 신체화증상의 관련성은 직무 유형에 따라 유의한 차이가 있으며 구급 직군이 화재진압 직군과 구조 직군보다 유의하게 높은 것으로 보고되었다. 사건 충격, 우울, 음주도 직무 유형에 따라 유의한 차이가 있으며, 사건 충격은 구급 직군이 화재진압 직군보다 높고 우울은 구급 직군이 구조 직군보다 높으며 음주는 행정 직군이 화재진압 직군, 구급 직군보다 높은 것으로 보고되었다. 회복탄력성은 구조 직군이 구급 직군보다 유의하게 높았다. 스트레스, 자살위험성은 직무 유형에 따라 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 보고되었다. 또한 소방공무원 신체화증상의 유의한 예측 인자로 불면증, 스트레스, 사건 충격이 있었으며, 특히 불면의 영향이 큼을 보여주었다. 결 론 본 연구를 통해 지역 소방공무원들의 직무 유형에 따라 다양한 정신건강 변인에서 유의한 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히 구급 직군의 경우가 타 직군에 비해 불면, 신체화 증상, 큰 사건 충격, 취약한 회복탄력성 등 여러 정신건강변인에서 취약한 상황으로 보고되었다. 그 중 불면의 경우 모든 직무유형에서 신체화 증상에의 의미 있는 예측인자임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objectives : Firefighters are always under stress due to their job environment, and they are likely to become psychologically vulnerable due to continuous exposure to traumatic events, which is a stressful situation that requires emergency standby at all times. The aims of this study were to examine mental health factors for each division of firefighters and to see the relationship between sleep and somatization symptoms among them. Methods : General characteristics and related inspections were conducted through self-reporting questionnaires for 1,264 firefighters working at Chungbuk fire stations. Several mental health factors were investigated by the Insomnia Severity Index, Severity of somatic symptoms, Impact of Event Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, Resilience Scale, Alcohol Dependent Screening Scale, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale Depression Scale and Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Results : Among the mental health variables, the relationship between insomnia and somatization varies significantly depending on types of work. It was reported that the first aid team was significantly higher than the fire suppression and rescue team. Post-traumatic stress, depression and drinking also differ significantly depending on types of work. The first aid team reported more posttraumatic stress than the fire suppression team and more depressed mood than the rescue team. The administration part had more alcohol consumption than the fire suppression or first aid team. Resilience was significantly higher in the rescue team than the first aid team. No significant differences between the types of work about stress and suicide risks. Insomnia, stress, and post-traumatic stress were significant predictors of somatization among firefighters. Above all, insomnia was significant mental health variable affecting somatization. Conclusions : Various mental health factors were different according to the types of work in firefighters. The First aid team was more vulnerable to mental health variables such as insomnia and somatization than other divisions. Insomnia is the most important cause of somatization in firefighters, so it is recommended that they be treated for insomnia and to prepare institutional policies.
