The purpose of this study is to analyze the relation of security officers' martial arts training and job performance. To this end, we conducted surveys on security practitioners. The questionnaire consisted of three variables, "necessity of martial arts training, application to practical security work, improvement of job satisfaction". In this study for reliability analysis, Chronbach's Alpha coefficient was calculated. In order to verify the validity of the measured variables, exploratory factors were analyzed using the Berimax method. Both AVE and CR values of the measured variables were above the reference value of 0.5, indicating that the convergence validity was good. As a result of the hypothesis test, the standardization coefficient is 0.636 for "need for training in martial arts training${\Rightarrow}$practical security work", 0.986 for "practical security work${\Rightarrow}$job satisfaction improving", and the relationship between the two hypotheses is positive(+). In order to improve the job satisfaction of security-related practitioners, it seems necessary to raise the need for martial arts training.

It was from November 6th to November 15th. The degree of violent experience of the subjects was 1.26 ± 1.31 out of 4. The average score of resillience was 2.50 ± 0.55 out of 4. The average score of job stress was 3.62 ± 0.49 out of 5. The result of correlation between violence experience, resilience and job stress, among the sub factors, in the correlation among violence experience and job stress sub factors, verbal violence experience was significantly positively correlated with nursing work(r=.194, p=.010), role conflict stress(r=.158, p=.030), and physical threat experience was positively correlated with nursing work(r=.200, p=.008), role conflict(r=.162, p=.027), and conflict with doctor(r=.145, p=.042). In the correlation between resilience and job stress sub factors, nursing work stress is hardness(r=-.189, p=.012), persistence(r=-.165, p=.025), and optimism (r=-.186, p=.013) and there was a negative correlation with the region. Expertise stress is hardness(r=-.230, p=.003), persistence(r=-.195, p=.010), optimistic(r=-.194, p=.010) and there was a negative correlation. Nurse-treated stress was positively correlated with spirituality(r=.154, p=.033). In the subcategory correlations of resilience and violent experience, the hardness had a negative correlation with the physical threat(r=-.150, p=.037) experience. The persistence was negatively correlated with the experience of physical threats(r=-.138, p=.050). The optimism was negatively correlated with the experience of physical violence(r=-.151, p=.036). As a result, it is necessary to create a safe working environment free from violence and to reinforce training on how to deal with violence in order to reduce the job stress of emergency department nurses. In addition, measures to cope with stress according to age and work experience and programs to increase resilience should be developed and mediated to reduce the job stress of emergency department nurses.
