Abstract
This study investigated the impact of post-traumatic stress of the fire-fighting officers who are exposed to traumatic events repeatedly on suicide and attempted to verify the moderating effect of cognitive emotion regulation in the relationship between post-traumatic stress and suicidal ideation. For this investigation, this study measured Post-traumatic stress Diagnostic Scale, Korean Beck scale for Suicidal Ideation, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. The research results are as follows. First, Post-traumatic stress, suicidal ideation, adaptive cognitive emotion regulation, and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation were correlated. second, A hierarchical regression analysis was conducted in order to examine the moderating effect of cognitive emotion regulation in the relationship between post-traumatic stress and suicidal ideation, and as a result, it was found that a sub-factor of cognitive emotion regulation, adaptive cognitive emotion regulation had a moderating effect in a group of persons with low post-traumatic stress, while maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation had a moderating effect in a group of persons with high post-traumatic stress. These results, this study discussed the necessity of follow-up studies, in addition to its academic and clinical implications.
