ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to analyze the data from 117 firefighters aged 39.01±9.17 to find out the effect of post-traumatic stress symptoms and calling on their job satisfaction level. The three elements in IES-R, hyperarousal, avoidance and intrusion, were used to measure the level of post-traumatic stress, along with the Korean version of multidimensional calling measure (MCM-K). The results show that 35% of them were classified as a high-risk group of post-traumatic stress symptoms and the old group over 50 years of age had the highest level of post-traumatic stress. A significant negative correlation was found between job satisfaction and post-traumatic stress symptoms, while there was a positive correlation between job satisfaction level and calling. Statitistically significant covariates in the multiple regression model included educational background and working period of firefighters.
