본 연구에서는 높은 수준의 PTSD 증상을 유발하는 사건을 탐색하기 위해 외상사건을 DSM-Ⅳ-TR의 진단기준을 충족시키는 ‘진단기준사건’과 ‘생활스트레스 사건’으로 구분하고, 가장 고통스러운 사건 대비 PTSD 고위험군의 비율인 PTSD의 조건비율(conditional probability)을 확인하였다. 이를 위해 전국의 인구센서스 기준에 따라 성별 및 연령비율을 고려하여 표집한 성인 1,000명을 대상으로 외상사건을 조사하였고, 998명의 자료를 분석하였다. 진단기준사건을 살펴보면, ‘16세 이전의 성추행’, ‘기타사고 목격’, ‘16세 이전의 성폭행’, ‘16세 이전의 가정폭력 목격’, ‘재난’, ‘교통사고 겪음’, ‘교통사고 목격’, ‘기타사고 겪음’인 것으로 나타났으며, 생활스트레스 사건은 ‘법적 구속 또는 수감(본인 및 가족)’, ‘부모의 별거나 이혼’, ‘심각한 스트레스를 야기하는 실패나 절망’, ‘가족과의 극심한 갈등 또는 잦은 다툼’인 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 인구사회학적 특성 중 연령, 혼인상태, 종교유무가 PTSD 증상수준에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 주요 연구결과를 토대로 논의 및 시사점을 제시하였다.
In this study, to search for events that cause high levels of PTSD symptoms, traumatic events are classified into ‘criterion events’ that meet DSM-IV-TR criteria and ‘life stresssful events’, conditional probability of PTSD was confirmed. From a sample of 1,000 adults residing in South Korea, 998 statistically relevant samples were extracted. Criterion events include cases of ‘sexual harassment before age 16’, ‘sightings of other accidents’, ‘rape before 16’, ‘domestic violence before 16’, ‘disaster’, ‘traffic accidents’, ‘other accidents’. Life stressful events appeared to be ‘legal arrest or detention(person and family)’, ‘parental separation or divorce’, ‘failure or despair causing serious stress’, ‘extreme conflict with family or frequent quarrels’. Among the demographic characteristics, age, marital status, religion were found to affect PTSD symptoms. The implications and limitations of these results are discussed.
