Abstract

This study was conducted to define the level of job stress and to determine its association with sociodemographic and health related characteristics, as well as job-related factors. The subjects surveyed were 1,240 out of 119 rescue workers who worked in 14 fire stations across the country by self-administered questionnaires during the period of 1 March, to 30 April, 2016. As a result, the score of job stress was significantly higher in the unmarried, no coffee drinking, poor subjective sleep evaluation, unhealthy, lower position, lower job career, hard physical burden of work, job dissatisfaction, unfit for job groups without group of consider quitting the job than their respective counterparts. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the factors influencing job stress included coffee drinking, subjective sleep evaluation, job career, physical burden of work, sense of satisfaction in work, fitness for the job and considering quitting the job. Overall, the results of this study results suggest that the job stress of 119 rescue workers is influenced by variable factors as well as sociodemographic characteristics, health-related behaviors and job-related characteristics.

본 연구는 119구급대원들의 직무스트레스 수준을 파악하고, 이들의 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성 및 직업관련 특성과의 관련성을 규명하고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 전국 14개 소방서에 근무하고 있는 119구급대원 1,240명으로 하였으며, 조사는 2016년 3월 1일부터 4월 30일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사에 의하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 직무스트레스는 기혼군보다 미혼군에서, 커피를 마신다는 군보다 마시지 않는 군에서, 주관적인 수면의 질이 좋다는 군보다 좋지 않다는 군에서, 주관적인 건강상태가 좋다는 군보다 좋지 않다는 군에서, 직급이 낮을수록, 근무 경력이 낮을수록, 업무에 대한 신체적 부담이 적당하다는 군보다 힘들다는 군에서, 업무에 만족한다는 군보다 만족하지 못한다는 군에서, 업무가 적성에 맞는다는 군보다 맞지 않는다는 군에서, 직업을 전환할 의사가 없다는 군보다 있다는 군에서 유의하게 높았다. 다중회귀분석결과, 조사대상자의 직무스트레스에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 커피음용여부, 주관적인 수면의 질, 근무경력, 업무에 대한 신체적 부담, 업무에 대한 만족도, 업무에 대한 적성여부 및 직업전환의사가 유의한 변수로 선정되었다. 따라서 조사대상자의 직무스트레스는 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성 및 직업관련 특성의 여러변수들과 유의한 관련성이 있음을 시사한다.
