Total 322 EMT in Chungnam province and Daejeon city filled out the self-administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 for descriptive statistics. Among the 322 EMT, 309 (97%) and 169(53%) always or almost performed CPR and AED for nontraumatic cardiac arrest patient, respectively. Among the advanced EMT and nurse, IV were sometimes or not performed at 94.7% and medication including epinephrine which commonly used for survival of cardiac arrest were treated just at 9.3 % (14 person). The reason they did not perform each procedure for airway management, AED or IV was lack of manpower, limit of time or joggle of ambulance and legal restrictions. In conclusion, to increase survival rate of non-traumatic cardiac arrest in out-of-hospital, it is necessary to increase manpower, legal protection of EMS, establishment of standard operating procedure, practice for improvement technique and use of medication for ACLS.

This study analyzed 247 data surveyed on 119 ambulance workers 268 in a G-Do. The variance of the multiple regression model on the effect of independent variables on life satisfaction factors was statistically significant. And transformational leadership is an independent variable that significantly affects life satisfaction factors. However, there is a slight difference in the perception of transactional satisfaction factors (p=.051) was not statistically significant, so the second research question raised in this study was rejected. Based on the results of this study, transformational leadership should be centered on improving 119 paramedics' life satisfaction in the relationship between the direct effects of leadership variables related to 119 paramedics' life satisfaction. By doing so, 119 paramedics' life satisfaction will increase and the ultimate improvement in the quality of first aid at the emergency site will be achieved by providing a foothold to demonstrate the potential capabilities of 119 paramedics. In addition, 119 paramedics need to recognize and promote the importance of life satisfaction recognized in their daily lives and workplaces, creating an environment that can demonstrate transformative leadership by carefully caring for 119 center heads, team leaders, and field seniors.

We conducted 485 surveys from 547 rescuers working in Gyeonggi-do from November 5 to December 20, 2011. The collected data were analyzed by cross tabulation analysis, chi-square test, and correlation analysis using PASW 18.0. The p value was set at p<.05. The prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases, 328(67.6%) rescuers suffering from musculoskeletal diseases. General characteristics included gender(p<.01), age(p<.01), marriage(p<.001),household chores(p<.05), working period(p<.001). The correlation between physical loading of subjects and musculoskeletal diseases was significant(p<.001). The rescuers felt the pain at lower back(36.4%), shoulders(19.2%), neck(14.9%), hip/ankles(13.2%), hand/wrist/fingers(12.0%), elbow(4.3%).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of job-stress factors associated with fatigue among emergency rescue workers. A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 264 rescue workers in J province from January 5 to March 14, 2015. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics about the subjects, health-related characteristics, a job stress instrument, and a subjective fatigue instrument. The results were analyzed using a t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis to determine the factors related to fatigue. Fatigue was influenced by the personal characteristics of the rescue workers and job stress. To reduce fatigue, effort to manage and relieve stress is required after a job is done in the field. In addition, it is expected that fatigue can be reduced by providing methods that can improve the healthcare capacity of the rescue workers.
