초록

본 연구는 소방공무원들의 직무스트레스와 피로수준과의 관련성을 규명하는 것을 목적으로 실시하였다. 조사대상은 D광역시의 5개 소방서에 근무하고 있는 소방공무원 330명을 대상으로 2019년 9월 1일부터 10월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 피로수준은 직무스트레스 총점이 높을수록 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.001), 하위영역별로는 업무요구도가 높을수록(p=0.046), 업무의 자율성이 낮을수록(p=0.006), 상사의 지지가 낮을수록(p<0.001), 동료의 지지가 낮을수록(p<0.001) 유의하게 높았다. 조사대상자의 피로수준과 직무스트레스 내용 간의 상관관계를 보면, 피로수준은 직무스트레스 총점(r=0.348, p<0.05) 및 업무의 요구도(r=0.301, p<0.05)와는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보인 반면, 업무의 자율성(r=-0.306, p<0.05), 상사의 지지(r=-0.340, p<0.05) 및 동료의 지지(r=-0.355, p<0.05)와는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 피로수준에 대한 직무스트레스의 관련성을 파악하기 위해 다변량 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 직무스트레스 총점이 낮은 집단(Q1)에 비해 매우 높은 집단(Q4)에서 「고위험 피로군」에 속할 위험비가 유의하게 상승하였다(ORs=3.03, 95% CI=1.13~8.12). 위와 같은 연구결과는 소방공무원들의 피로수준은 직무스트레스와 유의한 관련성이 있음을 시사하고 있다. 따라서 직장에서의 직무스트레스 요인들을 줄일 수 있는 구체적인 방안이 마련될 필요가 있다고 생각된다.

This study examined the relationship between job stress and fatigue symptom of fire-fighting officials. The study subjects were 330 fire-fighting officials working at five fire stations in the D metropolitan city. The study survey was a structured self-administered questionnaire from September 1 to October 31, 2019. The level of fatigue symptoms and job stress were significantly higher (p<.0.001). By the sub-region, the level of fatigue symptoms and job demand were significantly higher (p=0.046), but the decision latitude, the supervisor support, and co-worker support were lower (p=0.006, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively). The level of fatigue symptom showed a significant positive correlation with the total score of job stress (r=0.348, p<0.05) and the job demand (r=0.301, p<0.05). In contrast, it showed a significant negative correlation with the decision latitude (r=-0.306, p<0.05), supervisor support (r=-0.340, p<0.05), and co-worker support (r=-0.355, p<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that the odds ratio of the high-risk fatigue group was significantly higher in the high-risk group of job stress than in the low group of job stress (ORs=3.03, 95% CI=1.13~8.12). These findings suggest that the level of fatigue symptoms of fire-fighting officials is related significantly to job stress.
