背景:消防员,在他们的职业责任过程中,面对一系列压力源,这取决于他们职责的独特特征。目的:本研究采用潜伏过渡分析法,探讨执勤期间外伤事件对消防员的纵向影响。方法:利用了来自韩国346名消防员的数据,这些消防员在值班时经历了创伤事件。最初,根据创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)和创伤后成长(PTG)之间的关系确定潜在群体。根据对创伤后应激障碍差异的分析,对群体进行标记,心理健康,以及分类组之间的生长相关因素。随后,检查了从时间1到时间2的转换概率和模式,其次是基于人口统计学因素的差异调查(性别,年龄)和职业因素(工作经验,移位模式)使用方差分析和多项逻辑回归分析。结果:第一,在时间2,五组模型被分类为“生长”,\'\'弹性或麻木,\'\'奋斗,\'\'部分斗争,\'和\'PTSD\'组。第二,在检查潜在群体之间的过渡模式后,出现了四种模式:“持续的痛苦,\'\'增长,\'\'适应,\'和\'升级的痛苦。\'第三,“奋斗”组显示过渡到“成长”组的概率为0%,而在过渡到“PTSD”组的组中,它显示出最高的可能性。第四,潜在过渡分析结果显示,“增长”组和“弹性或麻木”组有很强的趋势保持在同一类别。第五,发现年龄是影响潜在群体过渡的重要因素。结论:这项研究代表了首次尝试纵向调查消防员之间PTSD和PTG之间的相互作用。
消防员,在他们的职业责任过程中,面对一系列压力源,这取决于他们职责的独特特征。检查了在时间1和时间2揭示的消防员在潜在群体之间的过渡模式,揭示了四种转变模式:“持续的痛苦,''增长,''适应,和“痛苦升级”。“这项研究代表了首次尝试纵向调查消防员创伤后应激障碍与创伤后成长之间的相互作用。
Background: Firefighters, in the course of their professional responsibilities, confront an array of stressors contingent upon the distinctive characteristics of their duties.Objective: This study investigated the longitudinal impact of trauma incidents during duty on firefighters using latent transition analysis.Method: Data from 346 firefighters in South Korea who had experienced trauma events while on duty were utilized. Initially, latent groups were identified based on the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and post-traumatic growth (PTG). Groups were labelled based on the analysis of differences in PTSD, mental health, and growth-related factors among classified groups. Subsequently, transition probabilities and patterns from Time 1 to Time 2 were examined, followed by an investigation into variances based on demographic factors (gender, age) and occupational factors (work experience, shift pattern) using variance analysis and multinomial logistic regression analysis.Results: First, at Time 2, a five-group model was classified into \'Growth,\' \'Resilience or Numbness,\' \'Struggle,\' \'Partial Struggle,\' and \'PTSD\' groups. Second, upon examining the transition patterns between latent groups, four patterns emerged: \'continued distress,\' \'growth,\' \'adaptation,\' and \'escalated distress.\' Third, the \'Struggle\' group showed a 0% probability of transitioning to the \'Growth\' group, whereas it displayed the highest probability among the groups transitioning to the \'PTSD\' group. Fourth, latent transition analysis results showed a strong tendency for the \'Growth\' group and \'Resilience or Numbness\' group to remain in the same category. Fifth, age was found to be a significant factor affecting the transition of latent groups.Conclusion: This research represents the inaugural attempt to longitudinally investigate the interplay between PTSD and PTG among firefighters.
Firefighters, in the course of their professional responsibilities, confront an array of stressors contingent upon the distinctive characteristics of their duties.The transition patterns of firefighters between latent groups revealed at Time 1 and Time 2 were examined, revealing four transition patterns: ‘continued distress,’ ‘growth,’ ‘adaptation,’ and ‘escalated distress.’This research represents the inaugural attempt to longitudinally investigate the interplay between post-traumatic stress disorder and post-traumatic growth among firefighters.
