소방 구급 업무는 매년 증가 추세에 있으며, 119 구급대원의 부상은 들것으로 과체중의 환자 이송 및 구출 작업 시 급격한 힘을 사용할 때 나타나며 환자 운반 시 몸통의 비틀림 및 체간의 굽힘 등 부적절한 자세로 인하여 근 골격계 질환 및 부상의 발생 가능성이 높은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 미국 응급구조사에서는 47%가 허리 부상의 경험을 말했으며 구급대원들의 요통을 예방할 수 있는 방법적인면의 중재가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 119 구급대원의 근골격 질환자에게 테이핑을 이용하여 실제 작업 현장에서 많이 사용되는 환자 이송에 따른 허리 통증 시 통증에 따른 근활성도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위하여 연구가 실시되었다.

This study examined the job satisfaction and its association with violence experience, job stress, and burn-out. A total of 1,240 119 rescue workers who worked in 14 fire stations across the country were surveyed. The survey was conducted by self-administered questionnaires from 1 March, to 30 April, 2016. As a result, the score of job satisfaction according to violence experience, job stress, and burn-out were significantly lower in the group with higher scores of violence experience, job stress, and burn-out. Regarding the correlation of job satisfaction with violence experience, job stress, and burn-out, the score of job satisfaction was negatively correlated with the violence experience, job stress, and burn-out. With an analysis of the covariance structure, the job stress was more influential on the job satisfaction than violence experience and burn-out. In addition, a higher violence experience, job stress, and burn-out were found to decrease job satisfaction. On the other hand, a higher the job stress and violence experience resulted in higher burn-out rates. The results suggested that the job satisfaction is influenced more by job stress than by violence experience and burn-out. Therefore, concrete measures will be needed to reduce job stress and promote the job satisfaction of 119 rescue workers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the utilization of MO and related factors among some 119 rescue workers in Gwangju. A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 153 rescue workers in these 119 safety centers. The data were analyzed by SAS version 9.3. Overall 82.4% of the subjects utilized MO during the past month. In the multiple logistic regression analysis, the married subjects (OR = 3.87, 95% CI = 1.22~12.27), level 1 emergency medical technicians (OR = 2.87, 95% CI = 1.02~8.09), and subjects who treated cardiovascular emergency patients (OR = 9.19, 95% CI = 1.87~45.08) had significantly higher odds ratios for the utilization of MO. The experience of MO accounted for 82%. The development of strategies and education plans taking these results into consideration will help to improve the utilization of MO.
