Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the factors that influence soldiers' military adjustment in the rear air force. The data were collected through a survey of 160 soldiers in N city from Nov. 16th to Dec. 11th, 2015, using appropriate instruments to assess their military adjustment, type of communication, resilience and mental health, and analyzed using IBM SPSS WIN 21. The mean scores for military adjustment, resilience, mental well-being and disorder were $1.25{\pm}0.33$, $3.69{\pm}0.56$, $2.98{\pm}0.94$ and $1.24{\pm}0.36$, respectively. In the analysis of their general characteristics, there were significant differences in age, perceived health and future career. Significantly positive correlations were found between adjustment and placating, blaming and irrelevant communication and mental disorder and significantly negative correlations were found between adjustment and resilience and mental well-being. Mental disorder and blaming communication accounted for 41% of the variance in the military adjustment. The result of this study shows that soldiers' military adjustment is related to mental disorder and blaming communication.

본 연구는 후방지역 공군 병사의 군 적응에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 N 지역의 병사 160명이었다. 자료는 2015년 11월 16일부터 12월 11일에 수집되었고, 연구 도구는 군 적응, 의사소통, 회복 탄력성, 정신 건강이었다. 연구 결과 대상자의 군 적응 평균 점수는 1.25점, 회복탄력성 평균 점수는 3.69점, 정신적 웰빙의 평균 점수는 2.98점, 정신장애의 평균 점수는 1.24이었다. 일반적인 특성에 따라 나이, 주관적 건강상태 인식, 진로에 대한 생각이 유의하게 나타났다. 특히 병사들의 군 적응을 힘들게 하는 요인으로 상 하 인간관계와 주 상담원은 군내에서 동기가 많았다. 군 적응과 의사소통, 정신 장애는 유의하게 정적 상관관계를 나타내며, 회복 탄력성, 정신적 웰빙은 유의하게 부적 상관관계로 나타났다. 정신 장애와 비난형 의사소통 유형은 군 적응의 설명력 41%로 나타났다. 본 연구는 병사들의 정신 장애와 비난형 의사소통 유형이 군 적응에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 정신 장애와 비난형 의사소통 유형 관리에 초점을 둔 프로그램을 개발하고 제공되어야 한다.
