The purpose of this study is to collect basic data on the prevalence pattern of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Korean railroad drivers exposed to person-under-train accidents according to the individual and working environmental characteristics.
Questionnaires were sent to all the railroad drivers accompanying active service now by company post. A total of 639 of the 800 questionnaires sent out were returned, showing a response rate of 79.9%. The Impact of Event Scale was utilized to address psychological status of railroad drivers after exposure to person-under-train accident.
Score of PTSD, intrusion, and avoidance ranged from 9.6 to 13.2, from 4.2 to 6.1, and from 5.4 to 7.2 according to individual characteristics and ranged from 11.44 to 12.70, from 5.03 to 5.67, and from 6.41 to 7.04 according to working environmental characteristics, respectively.
This study demonstrated that Korean railroad drivers who experienced person-under-train accident expressed adverse symptoms physically and psychologically more than those who did not experience it. Apart from effect of train driver's age, a wide range of individual and working environmental factors appear to have no association with the level of posttraumatic distress following a person-under-train accident.
本研究旨在根据个体和工作环境特征，收集韩国铁路司机在遭遇列车撞人事故后创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）患病率模式的基础数据。
通过公司邮寄向所有在职铁路司机发放问卷。共发放800份问卷，回收639份，回收率为79.9%。采用事件影响量表来评估铁路司机在遭遇列车撞人事故后的心理状态。
根据个体特征，PTSD、闯入和回避得分分别在9.6至13.2、4.2至6.1、5.4至7.2之间；根据工作环境特征，得分分别在11.44至12.70、5.03至5.67、6.41至7.04之间。
本研究表明，经历过列车撞人事故的韩国铁路司机在身体和心理上表现出的不良症状比未经历过的司机更多。除了火车司机年龄的影响外，一系列个体和工作环境因素似乎与列车撞人事故后的创伤后痛苦程度无关。
