  • This study focused on the awareness and coping methods of psychological trauma and human suffering in the contemporary era after the development of posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) including the situations in the Korean society, and proposed principles for an alternative paradigm of trauma recovery. Trauma is defined as an 'external' stress causing chronic suffering mediated by memory, and the American Psychiatric Association approved PTSD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1980. The development of PTSD empowered moral legitimacy to the victims, opened a successful way to treatment, and accomplished explosive amount of research in the area of neurobiology and cognitive neuroscience. However, this also narrowed the understanding of human suffering, and the importance of an alternative coping method which overcomes the limitations of technical intervention became overlooked. Moreover, the Korean society has an underlying mechanism of replacing the matter of trauma to a problem of an individual. This is shown among the historical context of splitting and denial, and among medicalized bureaucracy. Trauma should be acknowledged as a social suffering, and searching for an alternative paradigm is in need. This study suggested the following principles; seeking for truth and justice, survivor as the agent of recovery emphasizing the responsibility of the community, ecological adaptations of recent bio-psychological achievements, and finally putting emphasis on continuous discussions about the definition of recovery.

  • When a traumatic subject experiences extreme stress, various psychiatric problems, including PTSD, can occur if they do not respond appropriately. In addition, non-war soldiers who experience life-threatening events while serving in the military may experience severe and chronic PTSD symptoms. However, there are still insufficient domestic studies on what traumatic events soldiers are exposed to and how much PTSD symptoms they experience. Therefore, this study provides a method that can be used as basic data for PTSD and psychological support of military service personnel by identifying trends in domestic research. Furthermore, it studies PTSD not only of soldiers but also of 'civilians' who have experienced combat, and provides symptomatic treatment and relief programs to civilians according to the difference in PTSD between general trauma and war trauma. It is expected that these studies will increase military confidence and enable the military to play a leading role in war trauma PTSD research and prevention, treatment and mitigation.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 소방공무원이 현장에서 겪는 충격 스트레스로 발생하는 외상 후 스트레스장애 (posttraumatic stress disorder, PTSD) 분석을 통해 위기상황 스트레스 해소 교육 프로그램 기초 자료를 제시하고자 하는 데 있다. 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여 독립변인(업무부담감, 스트레스, 스트레스 대응) 3개, 매개변인(현장충격 스트레스) 1개, 종속변인(신체적 증상)으로 구성하여 영향력을 파악하였다. 본 연구 대상자는 전국 970명 소방공무원으로 2007년 3월부터 12월까지 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 조사하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 14.0과 구조방정식 모형인 AMOS 7.0 통계패키지를 사용하였으며, 정확한 코딩데이터의 입력확인을 위해 데이터클리닝(data cleaning) 작업을 실시하였다. 가설검증을 위하여 구조방정식 모형분석을 실시한 결과, 업무부담감, 스트레스, 현장충격 스트레스가 낮고, 스트레스 대응이 높을 때 신체적 증상이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 서울소방학교와 공동으로 총 10개 차시로 웹기반 교육을 구성하였으며, 2010년 1월부터 소방공무원 전체를 대상으로 웹기반 교육을 실시하고자 한다.

  • As an aging population is increasing, more elderly people are exposed to traumatic stress. Although this issue has received more attention in some literature, it is clear that numerous questions exist in aftermath of trauma exposure in elderly people. In case of Korean elderly suffers, traumatic experience includes the Korean war, military dictatorship and violent demonstration. Studies regarding elderly PTSD is not active and a lot of patients are not still engaged in treatment. We suggest that concerns that are unique to this population are necessary.
