摘要

消防人員身為防疫第一線,負責染疫個案運送,面對病毒屬性、傳染途徑不清楚,病毒疫苗尚未研發的同時,產生許多新冠病毒壓力,特別是擔心自己因工作,將病毒感染給家人。因新冠病毒壓力,可能造成消防人員的創傷後壓力症候群、失眠問題,都十分值得探究。而消防人員採納問題解決策略,是否可以減少創傷後壓力症候群徵兆,也是本文探究重點。本研究以全台灣消防分隊長以下的基層消防人員作為研究對象,共獲得有效樣本453份。使用驗證式因素分析及結構方程模式,驗證所設立的假設。研究結果證實:新冠病毒壓力正向影響創傷後壓力症候群、失眠。問題取向策略負向影響創傷後壓力症候群。擔心家人感染正向影響新冠病毒壓力。

關鍵字:新冠病毒壓力、創傷後壓力症候群、問題取向策略、失眠。

ABSTRACT

As the front line of epidemic prevention, firefighters are responsible for the transportation of infected cases. Faced with the unclear nature and transmission route of the virus, and the virus vaccine has not yet been developed, there is a lot of pressure from the new coronavirus. Firefighters are particularly concerned about infecting their families with the virus because of their jobs. Whether the stress of the new coronavirus causes firefighters' post-traumatic stress syndrome and insomnia is worth exploring. And whether firefighters adopt problem-solving strategies to reduce symptoms of PTSD is also the focus of this study. In this study, firefighters from all over Taiwan were used as the research objects, and a total of 453 valid samples were obtained. The established hypotheses were tested using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results of the study confirmed that the new coronavirus stress positively affects post-traumatic stress syndrome and insomnia. Problem-solving strategies negatively affect post-traumatic stress disorder. Worry about family members being infected is positively affecting the stress of the new coronavirus.
