본 연구는 재난 뉴스를 통한 간접 외상 노출의 심리적 영향을 살펴보기 위해 수행되었다. 참가자들(N=439)은 세월호 사건이 발생한 지 평균 68.11(±18.47)일이 경과한 후 일련의 자기 보고식 질문지를 작성하였으며, 여기에는 외상후 위기 체크리스트(Posttraumatic Risk Checklist: PRC), 사건 충격 척도(Impact of Event Scale-Revised: IES-R) 및 다차원적 죽음불안 척도(Multidimensional Fear of Death Scale: MFODS)가 포함되었다. 재난 뉴스노출과 외상후 스트레스 증상의 관계에서 죽음불안, 외상당시 및 외상후 위기의 매개효과를 살펴보기 위해 구조방정식을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 죽음불안, 외상 당시 및 외상 후 위기는 초기 뉴스노출과 외상후 스트레스 증상 간의 관계를 유의하게 매개하였다. 이러한 결과는 재난 직후의 뉴스노출이 죽음불안에 영향을 주고, 이것이 외상당시 및 외상후 위기를 유발하며, 이러한 위기 요인들이 외상후 스트레스 증상을 증가시킬 수 있음을 의미한다. 마지막으로, 본 연구의 제한점과 미래 연구를 위한 제안이 논의되었다.
The purpose of the present study was to examine psychological consequences of indirect trauma exposure through the disaster news. Participants(N=439) completed some self-report questionnaires such as Posttraumatic Risk Checklist(PRC), Impact of Event Scale-Revised(IES-R), and Multidimensional Fear of Death Scale(MFODS) at 68.11(±18.47) days after the Sewol ferry disaster. The data were analyzed with structural equation modeling by AMOS 23.0 program. The results showed that fear of death and peri- and post-traumatic crisis factors mediated the association of news exposure immediately after disaster and posttraumatic stress symptoms. Findings in this study indicated that news exposure immediately after disaster influenced fear of death which led to the peri- and post-traumatic crisis, and these crisis factors increased posttraumatic stress symptoms. Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for future study were discussed.
