Abstract
Purpose: This study noted that even similar environmental conditions caused by the heat wave were differentiated depending on the internal characteristics of the individual, so there was a difference in the extent of the damage. Thus, the relationship between individual psychological characteristics and experiences of the symptoms of thermal diseases was analyzed. Method: The influence of construction workers was analyzed through questioning of individual characteristics and psychological measures of self-esteem, self-esteem, and personality that may be related to heat wave damage, depending on whether they have experienced symptoms of thermal diseases. Results: Logistic regression shows that responsibility affects positive (+) experience of symptoms of heat disease and self-esteem in groups negatively (-) experience of symptoms of heat illness. Conclusion: This study presented basic data as the first study to analyze obsessive compulsive, self-respect and personality of construction workers who are vulnerable to heat waves to identify the psychological characteristics of victims of heat waves.

연구목적: 본 연구는 폭염으로 인한 유사 환경 조건이라도 개인의 내적 특성에 따라 다른 대처를 하게 되어 피해의 정도에 개인차가 있음을 주목하였다. 이에 개인의 심리적 특성과 온열질환 증상 경험의 영향 관계를 분석하였다. 연구방법: 건설노동자를 대상으로 온열질환 증상의 경험 유무에 따라 개인특성의 설문과 폭염 피해에 연관성이 있을 강박신념, 자아 존중감, 성격에 대한 심리척도를 통해 영향관계를 분석하였다. 연구결과: 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과, 책임감은 온열질환 증상의 경험에 정(+)의 영향, 집단에서의 자아 존중감은 온열질환 증상의 경험에 음(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구는 폭염으로 인한 피해자의 심리적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 폭염에 취약한 대상인 건설노동자를 대상으로 강박신념, 자아 존중감, 성격을 분석한 첫 번째 연구로 기초자료를 제시하였다.
