This study was conducted to investigate the effects of a forest therapy program on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mood states of fire fighters. A total of 293 participants completed two psychological questionnaires before and after the program was conducted: the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL) and the Profile of Mood States (POMS). Data were analyzed with paired t-test and ANCOVA using SPSS 24.0. The PTSD results showed a significant decrease from 11.38 ± 12.58 points before the program to 6.91 ± 10.50 points after the program. Results of the POMS questionnaire revealed an increase in positive factors and a decrease in negative factors, with a significant overall decrease in POMS results from 8.58 ± 18.47 points before the program to -0.63 ± 15.83 points after the program. As a result of analyzing the differences in stress reduction effects according to the amount of sleep participants had, PTSD showed improvement at 6-8 hours of sleep. These results are expected to be utilized as a basis for stress management and relief in fire fighters.

This study investigated the relationships between stress-coping strategies and the mental health of college students from health related and non-health related departments by developing an efficient managerial indicator using student lifestyle guidance and employment guidance. Results indicated that there are differences in stress factors between general characteristics and departments. Hope management was used the most for stress-coping strategies for health related departmental students and emotional management was used the most for stress-coping strategies for non-health related departmental students. Compulsion scored high for health related departmental students in regards to mental health while fear and hostility scored high for non-health related departmental students. Results also showed that active stress-coping strategies and paranoia were negatively correlated, while passive stress-coping strategies and many mental health substructure were positively correlated. In conclusion, negative influences on mental health is the reason for instances where stress-coping strategies were not pertinent. Therefore colleges and professors should consider developing a program which can appropriately manage and regulate college students stress and thereby allow students to actively participate with benefits from college lifestyle guidance and employment guidance.

본 논문에서는 자기효능감(Self-efficacy belief)과 산업재해의 관계에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 먼저 연구의 예비 단계에서는 크게 세 그룹 즉, 현장의 작업자, 현장 및 안전관련 자문업체에 근무하는 안전 관리자, 그리고 산업안전에 관계되는 정부기관 종사자 등을 대상으로 집중면접(Focus group interview)을 실시하였고, 이 집중면접의 결과를 근거로 하여 연구의 본 단계에서 적용될 설문지를 개발하였다. 본 설문지는 산업안전, 산업안전교육프로그램의 평가, 산업안전교육을 향상시키기 위한 방법, 자기만족, 스트레스, 산업재해율, 그리고 인구사회학적요인관련 정보 등과 관련되는 효능감을 평가 하도록 설계되었고, 총 917명(현장작업자: 542명, 안전 관리자: 210명, 정부기관종사자: 165명)에게 설문조사를 시행하였다. 주요 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 작업자 그룹의 경우에 안전관련 효능감과 관련한 세 가지 요인(자기관리, 사회적 지원, 환경관리)은 해당 회사의 산업재해율과 부(negative)의 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 안전효능감이 높은 현장 작업자는 낮은 현장작업자들과 비교하여 안전관련 수칙을 더 잘 지키고, 자기 인생에 대한 만족도가 더 높으며, 스트레스의 정도가 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 안전관리자의 경우에 안전효능감은 안전교육 프로그램의 효율성과 정(positive)의 상관관계를 그리고 해당회사의 산업재해율과는 부(negative)의 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 정부기관 종사자의 경우에는 경력이 길고 높은 지위에 있을수록 산업안전관리관련 안전효능감이 높은 것으로 나타났다.
