Abstract

|
Objectives：The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of male firefighters’ resilience and personality characteristics on perceived stress.
Methods：A total of 223 male firefighters recruited in 2015 completed a survey, using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Korean version of the Connor-Davidson resilience scale(K-CD-RISC), Big Five Inventory-Korean Version(BFIK-10), and Sociodemographic factors were also undertaken.
Results：The mean value of PSS in this study was 14.01±5.60. Perceived stress scores were positively correlated with neuroticism and negatively with extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness. Resilience scores were negatively correlated with neuroticism and positively with extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness. Agreeableness and high resilience decreased the risk for perceived stress of male firefighters.
Conclusion：Our findings suggest that personality and resilience are significantly correlated with perceived stress among male firefighters. Programs targeting firefighters that focus on these issues are required to reduce stress at work.
