초록

This study was designed for the purpose of investigating if anxiety and depression could affect posttraumatic growth as much as posttraumatic stress among firefighters in Korea. We consider social support as an external resource and self-esteem as an internal resource, and examine their roles in the mechanism between anxiety/depression and posttraumatic growth. As a result of descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, linear regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis, we found that (1) social support and self-esteem increased posttraumatic growth directly or indirectly via anxiety reduction, (2) social support decreased depression significantly while self-esteem did not influence on depression, and (3) depression had no relationship with posttraumatic growth. These results suggest that both extra and intrapersonal resources should be used to enhance firefighters’ posttraumatic adjustment and growth only through anxiety reduction.

Abstract

As a result of descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, linear regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis, we found that (1) social support and self-esteem increased posttraumatic growth directly or indirectly via anxiety reduction, (2) social support decreased depression significantly while self-esteem did not influence on depression, and (3) depression had no relationship with posttraumatic growth. These results suggest that both extra and intrapersonal resources should be used to enhance firefighters’ posttraumatic adjustment and growth only through anxiety reduction.
