A duration of this study was from 20, Aug to 28, Sep, 2012 and a process of which was implemented in the order of, data collection, questionnaire distribution and collection, and data and result processing. For the subject of this study three 119 Safety centers locating in J city were selected, 59 firefighters working in the field of call-out, rescue and salvage were selected for a sampling and the questionnaire was given to them. For the study tool PDS (Post-traumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale) that is developed by Foa(1993) and adopted by Park, You-Suk(2002) was used and STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) and K-HTP(Kinetic-House Tree Person) that were developed by Spieiberger, Gorsuch and Lushene(1970) and adopted to be standardized for Koreans by Kim, Jeung-Tak(1978) were used. With the collected data the correlation analysis was conducted in order to identify a relation between post-traumatic stress, and state-trait Anxiety and K-HTP reaction characteristics using SPSS 19.0. The results of this study were summarized as follows. First, there is a positive correlation between firefighter’s working period and post-traumatic stress. Namely, the longer the working period is the higher the post-traumatic stress is. Second, the firefighter’s post-traumatic stress and state-trait anxiety have the significant correlation with K-HTP reaction characteristics in p <.05 level. In a result of analyzing correlation among each of variables there was the positive correlation between post-traumatic stress, and stress and state-trait anxiety and K-HTP. Namely, the higher the post-traumatic stress is the higher the state-trait anxiety and K-HTP are. Third, firefighter’s K-HTP reaction implying post-traumatic stress, and stress and state-trait anxiety and K-HTP emerged in firefighter’s K-HTP reaction. In a formal factor and substantial factor of K-HTP reaction characteristic the picture reaction that shows anxiety and stress was shown. Post-traumatic stress and anxiety tendency may be discovered through K-HTP. The results of this study revealed that this study can provide the fundamental research data for the study on the firefighter’s psychological health on the basis of post-traumatic stress symptom, information on emotional status and K-HTP.

본 연구는 전북 J 시에 위치한 119안전센터에 근무하는 소방공무원을 대상으로 소방 공무원의 외상후 스트레스와 불안 및 K-HTP 반응특성을 연구하고자 한 것이다. 연구 의 대상은 J시에 위치한 119 안전센터 3곳을 정하여 현장출동과 구급⋅구조 분야에서 근무하는 소방공무원을 59명을 표집대상으로 정하여 설문지를 배포 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서 밝혀진 결과를 요약하면 소방공무원의 재직기간이 높을수록 외상후 스트레스가 높은 것으로 나타났으며 소방공무원의 외상후 스트레스가 높을수록 상태⋅ 특성 불안 및 K-HTP 반응특성이 높아지는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한, 소방공무원의 K-HTP 반응에서 외상후 스트레스와 상태⋅특성 불안을 의미하는 K-HTP 반응특성이 나타남을 알 수 있다. K-HTP 반응특성의 형식적 요소와 내용적 요소에서 불안과 스 트레스를 의미하는 그림반응의 특성이 보여졌으며 K-HTP를 통해 외상후 스트레스와 불안 성향을 밝힐 수 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 소방공무원 외상후 스트레스 증상과 정서 상태에 대한 정보 와 K-HTP 반응특성의 자료를 바탕으로 하여 추후 소방공무원의 정신건강과 관련된 연구에 기초적인 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 정기적인 심리치료와 상담을 통해 외상후 스트레스 증상 완화를 목표로 하여 심리적⋅정서적 안정을 위한 심리치 료관련 상담 및 치료프로그램 개발에 자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료되어진다.
