Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of psychosocial factors related to functional dyspepsia(FD) and their effects on quality of life(QOL) in firefighters. Methods : This study examined data collected from 1,217 firefighters. We measured psychological symptoms by Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire(GAD-7), Korean Occupational Stress Scale(KOSS), Ways of Coping checklist(WCCL), Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale(RSES) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale abbreviated version(WHOQOL-BREF). Chi-square test, independent t-test, Pearson's correlation test, logistic regression analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis were used as statistical analysis methods. Results : For the group with FD, the male participants showed significantly higher frequency(p=0.006) compared to the female participants. The group with FD had higher scores for depressive symptoms(p<.001), anxiety (p<.001), and occupational stress(p<.001), and did lower scores for self-esteem(p=.008), quality of life(p<.001) than those without FD. The FD risk was higher in the following KOSS subcategories: job demand(OR 1.94, 95% CI : 1.29-2.93), lack of reward(OR 2.47, 95% CI : 1.61-3.81), and occupational climate(OR 1.51, 95% CI : 1.01-2.24). In the hierarchical regression analysis, QOL was best predicted by depressive symptoms, self-esteem, and occupational stress. Three predictive variables above accounts for 42.0% variance explained of total variance. Conclusions : The psychosocial factors showed significant effects on FD, and predictive variables for QOL were identified based on regression analysis. The results suggest that the psychiatric approach should be accompanied with medical approach in future FD assessment.

연구목적 소방관에서 기능성 소화불량의 유병률이 높고 기능성 소화불량의 발현과 악화에 심리사회적 요인이 깊이 연관되어 있음에도 불구하고 이에 관한 연구는 매우 부족한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 소방관들을 대상으로 기능성 소화불량에 관련되는 심리사회적 요인의 특징을 알아보고 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 방 법 소방관 1,217명을 대상으로 로마 III 진단기준에 따라 기능성 소화불량 집단을 선별하였다. 인구학적 요인을 조사하였으며 심리사회적 요인을 평가하기 위해 Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire-7(GAD-7), Korean Occupational Stress Scale(KOSS), Ways of Coping Checklist(WCCL), Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale(RSES) 그리고 World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale abbreviated version(WHOQOL-BREF)를 사용하였다. 기능성 소화불량에 따라 집단을 나누고 교차분석(chisquare test)과 독립표본 t-검정(independent t-test)을 사용하여 집단 간의 차이를 알아보았다. 또한 KOSS의 각 하위 영역별로 기능성 소화불량의 위험도를 평가하기 위해 로지스틱 회귀분석(logistic regres-sion analysis)을 시행하였다. 기능성 소화불량 집단의 삶의 질과 독립변인들의 상관관계를 파악하기 위해 Pearson 상관분석(Pearson's correlation test)을 시행하였으며, 위계적 회귀분석(hierarchical regression anal-ysis)을 통해 기능성 소화불량 집단의 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 예측 요인을 알아보았다. 결 과 기능성 소화불량 집단은 남성(p=0.006)이 많았고, PHQ-9(p<0.001), GAD-7(p<0.001), KOSS(p<0.001) 점수가 유의미하게 높았으며, RSES(p=0.008), WHOQOL-BREF(p<0.001) 점수는 유의미하게 낮았다. KOSS 하위 영역 중 높은 직무요구도(OR 1.94, 95% CI : 1.29-2.93), 부적절한 보상(OR 2.47, 95% CI : 1.61-3.81), 그리고 불편한 직장 문화(OR 1.51, 95% CI : 1.01-2.24)에서 기능성 소화불량의 위험도가 높았다. 기능성 소화불량 집단의 삶의 질에 대한 최종 회귀모델에서 우울증상과 직무스트레스가 낮고, 자아존중감이 높은 것이 삶의 질의 42.0%를 설명했다. 결 론 본 연구 결과 기능성 소화불량 및 삶의 질에 대한 심리사회적 요인의 영향이 확인되었다. 따라서 향후 기능성 소화불량의 평가에 있어 내과적 접근 뿐만 아니라 정신건강의학과적인 접근이 동시에 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.
