Abstract

This research is conducted to investigate musculoskeletal diseases' that can be developed in paramedics body whose are in charge of emergency situations before they arrive at the hospital. The data were collected from 216 of paramedics from July 2, 2012 to July 31, 2012. As a result, 57.9% of participants have already felt the subjective symptoms of the muscular skeletal diseases, and 47.2% of them felt the pain on their waists and hips. These pains are highly related to their working situations. In the aspects of the muscuoskeletal diseases' symptoms, general characteristics, gender (t=16.579, p=.000), age (t=102.344, p=.000), education (t=5.363, p=.027), drinking (t=6.999, p=.030), and smoking (t=6.266, p=.009), have significance differences. Professional characteristics, career (t=67.684, p=.000), passengers of the ambulance (t=7.717, p=.004), qualification or license (t=25.480, p=.000), and position (t=74.615, p=.000), have also significance differences.

본 연구는 병원 전 응급의료 현장을 담당하고 있는 119 구급대원의 근골격계 질환에 대해 조사하기 위해 2012년 7월 2일부터 7월 31일까지 전북지역의 119 구급대원 216명을 대상으로 설문조사한 결과이다. 조사결과 대상자의 57.9%가 근골격계 질환과 관련한 자각증상을 호소하였으며 신체부위별로는 허리와 엉덩이 부분에 통증이 있다는 응답이 47.2%로 가장 많았다. 또한 이러한 통증의 원인이 구급업무와 관련이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 일반적 특성에 따른 근골격계 증상에서 성별(t=16.579, p=.000), 연령(t=102.344, p=.000), 학력(t=5.363, p=.027), 음주(t=6.999, p=.030), 흡연(t=6.266, p=.009)에 따른 유의한 차이가 있었으며 직업적 특성에서는 경력(t=67.684, p=.000), 구급차량 탑승인원(t=7.717, p=.004), 자격 및 면허(t=25.480, p=.000), 직급(t=74.615, p=.000)에서 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
