Abstract

This article is to examine the influence of occupational stress, socio-psychological factors and quality of sleep on fatigue symptoms from firefighters in fire service. The correlation coefficients were obtained by a tool of Pearson analysis, and covariance structure analysis was performed on the factors affecting the level of fatigue symptoms. This result suggests that the level of firefighters' fatigue symptoms in fire service. has a causal effect with occupational stress, socio-psychological factors and quality of sleep. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the work environment and to increase organizational support to deal with firefighters' fatigue in fire service.

본 연구는 공분산구조분석을 이용하여 소방공무원의 직무스트레스, 사회심리적 요인(A형 행동유형, 자기존중감, 통제신념) 및 수면의 질이 피로수준에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 공분산 구조분석 결과, 피로수준에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소는 직무스트레스 요인에 이어, 사회심리적 요인, 수면의 질 순서로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 소방공무원의 피로수준이 직무스트레스, 사회심리적 요인, 수면의 질과의 인과관계가 성립됨을 시사한다. 따라서 소방공무원의 피로수준 감소를 위한 근무환경의 개선뿐만 아니라 제도적인 뒷받침이 필요하리라 생각된다.
