초록

본 연구의 목적은 전국 소방서에 근무하는 소방공무원 중 2011년부터 2013년까지 근골격계 질환으로 공상을 신청 한 510명을 대상으로 자료를 분석하여 그 특성에 대해 알아보고, 공상 예방을 위한 대책을 제시하는 것이다. 2011년 1월부터 2013년 12월까지 공상을 신청한 1596명의 공상신청자의 정보를 국민안전처로부터 제공받아 주병명을 기준으로 근골격계 질환을 판별하여 이 중 510명을 최종 연구대상으로 하였다. 공상신청자는 남성이 92%로 여성보다 월등히 많았고, 공상발생 연령은 40대 초반이 가장 많았다. 공상이 발생한 시기는 5월과 6월이 가장 높았다. 지역별로 공상신청이 가장 많은 지역은 서울이었고 공상 발생만인율이 가장 높은 곳은 전북이었다. 공상신청이 가장 잦은 부위는 허리가 제일 많았고 무릎이 그다음 이었다. 신체구조는 인대가 가장 많고 추간판과 뼈 순이었다. 공상발생 당시 직무는 화재진압 38.3%, 구급 37.7%, 구조 12.4%, 기타 순이었다. 앞으로 지역 간 공상신청 빈도차이를 좀 더 세밀히 조사할 필요가 있고, 소방 직부별 부상기전과 예방방안에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

The aims of this study were to analyze the Korean fire fighters' applications for the public worker's compensation between 2011 and 2013 and to suggest a feasible solution for prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The Korean Ministry of Public Safety and Security provided the complete list of fire fighters' application from January 2011 to December 2013. 510 applicants with chief complaint of musculoskeletal disorders were screened out of all 1596 applicants. Male applicants were 92%. Fire fighters in their early 40's applied most frequently, followed by those in early 30's. Musculoskeletal disorders of fire fighters were reported most frequently in May and June. Regionally, Seoul had most applicants and Jeonbuk showed the highest prevalence. Low back was the most frequently reported body part followed by the knee. Ligament was insured most frequently followed by vertebral disc and bone. The fire fighter's injury occurred while fire extinguish (38.3%), emergency medical service (37.7%), rescue (12.4%), and other duties. Result of this study suggests further investigation on the large variation in regional prevalence and on the injury mechanism of musculoskeletal disorders especially during the fire extinguish and emergency medical service.
