본 연구는 소방대원의 외상경험과 정서지능이 PTSD 증상에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 현재 서울에서 근무하는 297명의 소방대원에게 외상 후 스트레스 증상 진단 척도, 정서지능 척도, 외상경험 척도를 완성하게 하였다. 그 결과, 소방대원의 충격사건출동 횟수와 사건 충격 정도는 PTSD 증상을 유의하게 예측하였지만, 정서지능은 PTSD 증상을 유의하게 예측하지 못하였다. 그러나 충격사건출동 횟수가 PTSD증상에 미치는 영향에 있어, 정서지능의 하위요인인 정서활용과 정서조절의 중재효과가 확인되었다. 즉, 충격적인 사건에 자주 출동하더라도 정서활용 및 정서조절 능력이 있으면 PTSD로 발전할 가능성이 낮다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 본 연구의 임상적 시사점과 제한점 향후 연구 방향을 논의하였다.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships of traumatic experiences, emotional intelligence and PTSD symptoms of firefighter. The Post-traumatic stress Scale(PDS), Wong & Law Emotional Intelligence Scale(WLEIS) and Traumatic experiences scale were administered to 297 firefighters working in Seoul. As a result, it was revealed that impact mobilization frequency and impact of event predicted PTSD symptoms significantly. Emotional intelligence did not predict PTSD symptoms. However, emotion regulation and emotion application was significant moderator between impact mobilization frequency and PTSD symptoms. In other words, even though firefighter frequently mobilize traumatic situation, they who have emotion regulation and emotion application prevent PTSD symptoms. Finally, we discussed the implication and limitation of this study and the direction of future research.
