소방공무원의 음주 실태와 직무스트레스 관계 분석

Analysis of the Relationship between the Drinking Status and Job Stress of Firefighters

본 연구의 목적은 소방공무원의 음주 실태를 파악하고 음주수준과 직무스트레스의 관계를 분석하기 위함이다. 연구대상은 C지역, K지역, P지역의 소방공무원 267명으로 설문을 통해 음주 실태와 직무스트레스를 측정하였다. 연구 결과 음주수준은 정상음주군 152명(56.9%), 문제음주군 115명(43.1%)이었고, 음주 빈도는 2-4 회/월 83명(31.1%), 음주량은 10잔 이상 101명(37.8%), 폭음 빈도는 매일이 77명(28.8%)으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 직무스트레스가 높은 군에서 문제 음주군이 될 위험도가 높았고(OR = 5.458, 95% CI = 1.108 - 26.886), 그 중 대인관계 갈등이 음주수준에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인으로 나타났다(OR = .332, 95% CI = .134 - .820). 따라서 직무스트레스를 낮추고 대인관계 갈등을 줄인다면 음주 수준을 낮출 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study examined the drinking status to determine the relationship between the AUDIT-K (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Korean) and job stress of firefighters. The study subject was 267 firefighters in areas C, K, and P, who were surveyed to investigate their drinking status and job stress. According to the study, the AUDIT-K was 152 people (56.9%) in the normal drinking group and 115 people (43.1%) in the problem drinking group. The most frequent answer of the frequency of drinking was 83 people (31.1%) in the 2-4 times of a month; the amount of drinking was 10 cups or more by 101 people (37.8%) in one sitting; the frequency of heavy drinking was every day in 77 people (28.8%). High group of job stress showed a significantly higher odds ratio with the problem drinking group (OR = 5.458, 95% CI = 1.108-26.886). Among them, the interpersonal relation conflict was found to be a major factor affecting AUDIT-K (OR = .332, 95% CI = .134 - .820). Therefore, their AUDIT-K scores can be lowered by reducing the job stress and interpersonal relation conflicts.
