본 연구는 응급구조원, 사상 사고를 경험한 지하철승무원, 아동보호전문기관 사회복지사를 대상으로 직종, 심리적 고통, 대리 외상, 일반적 특성에 따른 외상 후 성장을 비교 분석한 연구이다. 분석 결과 첫째, 대리 외상은 세 집단 모두 위험 수준으로 높게 나타났고 특히 지하철승무원의 대리 외상이 높았으며, 외상 후 성장은 사회복지사가 가장 높고 지하철승무원이 가장 낮았다. 둘째, 대리 외상과 외상 후 성장은 상관관계가 유의한 것으로 나타났으며 특히 침습과 회피의 하위항목이 외상 후 성장과 상관관계가 높았다. 셋째, 외상 후 성장에 영향을 미치는 요인은 직종, 침습, 회피, 종교, 성별의 순서로 크게 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이 결과를 바탕으로 대리 외상 위험 직종에 대한 정신건강서비스 제공과 외상 후 성장의 치료적 적용을 제언하였다.
