摘要: | 本研究旨在瞭解新竹縣(市)消防人員救災經驗與死亡態度之現況,並探討影響救災經驗與死亡態度之因素,根據研究結果,期能對消防人員之心理教育,提供相關單位建議與參考。
以新竹縣市29個消防大隊以及分隊之消防人員共317人為研究對象,採用廖芳娟2000年修訂之「死亡態度量表」以及研究者自編之「救災經驗調查問卷」作為研究工具,利用獨立樣本t檢定、單因子變異數分析、二因子變異數分析、多元逐步迴歸等統計方法,進行資料處理後,得到以下結論。
一、在新竹地區消防人員救災經驗之現況方面
(一)在「出勤救災任務經驗」方面
在出勤任務經驗方面,可以依照參與救災人數比例之高低,將其簡單分為三類:
1.具普遍性的救災任務類型:指的是一半以上消防人員均有參與救災經驗的任務類型。
2.具差異性的救災任務類型:並非大部分消防人員有參與救災經驗的任務類型。
3.具特殊性的救災任務類型:不到一成的消防人員有參與救災經驗的任務類型。
(二)在「接觸傷亡經驗」方面
1.在「接觸救災對象傷亡經驗」方面
在接觸救災對象傷亡經驗中,大部分的消防人員有接觸救災對象受輕度傷害、中度傷害的經驗(87.3%、82.9%),而接觸救災對象受重度傷害或當場死亡消防人員同樣皆為75.0%,有81.1%的消防人員有救災對象到院前死亡(DOA)的經驗,最少消防人員有的接觸救災對象傷亡經驗為到院後死亡的67.1%。
2.在「接觸救災同仁傷亡經驗」方面
在接觸救災同仁傷亡經驗,大部分都有接觸同仁救災受輕度傷害的經驗(85.1%),而有40.8%的消防人員曾遇過同仁因救災而受中度傷害,約有7.9%的消防人員曾經接觸同仁因救災而受重度傷害的經驗,另外有5.3%的消防人員曾經歷救災同仁不幸殉職。
3.在「自己救災受傷經驗」方面
在自己救災受傷經驗中,因救災而受到輕度傷害是絕大部分消防人員的共同經驗(83.3%),而受中度傷害的消防人員有9.2%,有1.3%的消防人員曾因救災而受到中度傷害。
(三)在「救災身心反應」方面
新竹地區消防人員較常見的身體、情緒、認知以及行為方面身心反應分別為,1.身體方面:身體疲憊、心跳或呼吸加速、肌肉酸痛、頭痛、血壓上升等;2.情緒方面:心情低落、焦慮或害怕、震驚等;3.認知方面:注意力無法集中、腦中不自主重現災難景象、判斷力降低、難以下決定等;4.行為方面:隨時處於緊繃,無法休息或放鬆、工作效率降低、睡眠型態改變、對環境安全十分警覺等。
(四)在「救災身心影響」方面
八成左右的消防人員整體身心健康狀況良好,但是目前仍然約有一到二成的消防人員,整體生活受到身心反應的嚴重干擾,極需要專業人士的協助;若以新竹縣市有317位外勤消防人員來換算,則目前約有32至64位消防人員,需要專業的協助以因應救災身心反應所帶來的干擾。

(四)不同背景變項消防人員在救災身心影響之差異
在「影響強度」方面:不同年齡、服務年資、婚姻狀況、宗教信仰的消防人員在救災身心反應的影響強度上沒有顯著差異存在。
在「影響持續時間」方面:不同服務年資的消防人員在救災身心反應的影響持續時間上有顯著差異存在,而不同年齡、婚姻狀況、宗教信仰的消防人員在救災身心反應的影響持續時間上則沒有顯著差異存在;

四、新竹地區消防人員救災經驗與死亡態度之關係
(一)新竹地區消防人員救災經驗與死亡恐懼之關係
在所有消防人員救災經驗的分數當中,只有「情緒反應的影響層面」的分數可以有效預測其「死亡恐懼」之得分。

在所有消防人員救災經驗的分數當中,只有「認知方面的身心反應」、「行為方面的身心反應」、「行為反應的影響強度」、「情緒方面的身心反應」的分數,可以有效預測其「趨近接受」之得分。
(五)新竹地區消防人員救災經驗與逃離接受之關係
在所有消防人員救災經驗的分數當中,只有「情緒反應的身心反應」的分數可以有效預測其「逃離接受」之得分。
