Abstract

This study is a descriptive correlation study investigating the effects of stress disorder symptoms, resilience, and social network on post-traumatic growth in traffic accident patients. The participants were 158 traffic accident cases enrolled from five 100-bed hospitals situated in city C. Data were collected from July 1 to August 31, 2018, and analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression using SPSS / Win23. The explanatory power of post-traumatic growth was determined to be 36.9%, and the factors affecting post-traumatic growth were social network and post-traumatic stress disorder. In addition, social networks completely established the relationship between resilience and post-traumatic growth. Our results confirmed that a wider social network and increased symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder of the traffic accident patient are associated with higher post-traumatic growth. Therefore, it is necessary to explore approaches that improve the social networks and resilience to help post-traumatic growth of traffic accident patients. Additional research is required through repetitive and long-term observation of the accident victims.

본 연구는 교통사고 환자의 외상후 스트레스 장애 위험정도, 회복탄력성 및 사회적 관계망이 외상후 성장에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 시도된 서술적 상관관계 연구이다. 연구대상자는 K도 C시 소재 100병상 이상 5개 병원의 교통사고 환자 158명이었으며, 2018년 7월 1일부터 8월 31일까지 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, Multiple Regression으로 분석하였다. 외상후 성장에 미치는 영향요인을 파악한 결과, 연구의 설명력은 36.9%로 나타났으며, 대상자의 외상후 성장에 미치는 영향요인은 사회적 관계망, 외상후 스트레스 장애 위험정도 순으로 나타났다. 또한 사회적 관계망은 회복탄력성과 외상후 성장의 관계를 완전매개하였다. 이를 토대로, 교통사고 환자의 사회적 관계망이 크고 외상후 스트레스 장애 위험정도가 클수록 외상 후 성장이 높아짐을 확인하였고, 사회적 관계망은 회복탄력성과 외상후 성장의 관계를 완전매개한다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 교통사고 환자의 외상후 성장을 돕기 위해 사회적 관계망과 회복탄력성 향상 방안에 대해 모색할 필요가 있고, 교통사고 환자에 대한 반복적이고 장기적인 관찰을 통해 외상후 성장에 대한 추가연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
