Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of firefighters' resilience and coping methods for trauma-related stress on their burnout, and to provide theoretical evidence for proactive intervention and strategies to overcome firefighter burnout. Methods For this purpose, a survey was conducted among 4,196 firefighters working nationwide, and the data collected was analyzed using t-test, AOVA, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results The results showed that on average, firefighters experienced burnout 2-3 times a month, with male gender, age in the 40s, married, more than 10 years and less than 15 years of service, work type as a day shift, and current job as an administrative position. The regression equation was statistically significant (F=366.835, p<.001), and the higher the resilience, the lower the psychological burnout, and the higher the capacity for social support-seeking coping during active coping and emotion-focused coping during passive coping tended to reduce job burnout. Conclusions Based on the results of this study, multidimensional measures should be taken to increase resilience, social support, and emotion-focused coping in order to reduce burnout among firefighters.
