Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate 119 rescue party's violence experiences and to analyze their responses of violence experiences based on the pre-hospital emergency medical field. Data were collected from the self-administered survey of 226 rescue party in Jeollabuk-do area in Korea from January 1 through March 2, 2009. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis using SPSS Win 12.0. The results were as follows: first, all of 119 rescue unit in the pre-hospital emergency medical field reported that they got violence experiences more than once a week, and 62% of rescue team were exposed to physical violence. Patient's factors that caused violence were drug abuse or alcohol(56.2%), on the other hand rescue party's factors were shortage of human resources. Second, 42% of the respondents replied that they did not have any educational experiences for prevention and coping methods about violence within 5 years. 77.4% of those surveyed indicated that they wanted to receive specific educations which can prevent and cope with violence. Third, the mean value of total violent response scores was 2.53, and emotional response score was 3.2, social response score was 2.22, and physical response score was 2.17. Fourth, violent response score related to general characteristics proposed that physical(t=-2.08, p=o.38), emotional(t=-7.13, p=.006), and total responses(t=-4.764, p=.000) were statistically significant. And emotional(t=4.257, p=.000) and total responses(t=8.1330, p=.000) related to age were also statistically significant. Finally, among current tenure qualification scores, social response(t=9.987, p=.012) and total score(t=8.130, p=.000) were statistically significant. Between fire departments, violent response score suggested that physical(t=9.987, p=.000), emotional(t=2.433, p=.012), social(t=6.738, p=.000), and total score(t=5.943, p=.000) were statistically significant.
본 연구는 119 구급대원들이 경험하는 폭력실태와 그에 따른 반응을 조사하기 위해 2009년 1월 1일부터 3월 2일까지 전라북도 지역의 구급대원 226명을 대상으로 설문조사한 결과이다. 첫째, 병원 전 응급의료 현장의 구급대원 모두가 주 1회 이상의 폭력을 경험하고 있으며, 62%의 구급대원이 물리적 폭력에 노출되어 있다. 이러한 폭력발생의 환자측 요인으로는 약물 또는 음주가 56.2%를 차치하였으며, 구급대측 요인으로는 응급의료인력 부족이 36.3%였다. 둘째, 구급대원의 42%가 5년 이내에 폭력예방과 대처방법에 대한 교육 경험이 없으며, 77.4%의 구급대원이 향후 폭력예방과 대처 방법에 대한 교육을 원하였다. 셋째, 폭력반응 점수는 감정적 반응 3.20점, 사회적 반응 2.22점, 신체적 반응 2.17점으로 조사되었고, 전체 폭력 반응의 평균은 2.53점으로 조사되었다. 넷째, 일반적 특성에 따른 폭력 반응 점수는 신체적 반응(t=-2.08, p=.038)과 감정적 반응(t=-7.13, p=.000), 전체반응(t=-4.764, p=.000)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며, 연령에 따른 감정적 반응(t=4.257, p=.006)과 전체(t=2.932, p=.034)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 또한, 현재의 보유 자격별 점수는 사회적 반응(t=3.661, p=.000), 전체(t=8.130, p=.000)에서 유의한 차이를 나타냈고, 소방서별 폭력 반응 점수는 신체적 반응(t=9.987, p=.000), 감정적 반응(t=2.433, p=.012), 사회적 반응(t=6.738, p=.000), 전체(t=5.943, p=.000)에서 유의한 차이를 보였다.
