Purpose: This study examined the effects of general, occupational, and sleep-related characteristics on sleep quality in firefighters using the Korean version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-K). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from August 15 to 31, 2025 among 217 firefighters working in regions C and D. Data were collected using a self-administered online questionnaire. Sleep quality was assessed using the PSQI-K. Differences in sleep quality according to general, occupational, and sleep-related characteristics were analyzed using the chi-square test. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with the PSQI-K total scores. Results: The mean PSQI-K score was 7.37±3.52, and 37.3% of participants were classified as poor sleepers (PSQI-K≥8.5). Significant differences in sleep quality were observed according to educational level, job type, work schedule, experience with sleep-related symptoms, treatment history, and the timing of sleep problem recognition. In the multiple regression analysis, experience of sleep-related symptoms(β=-.482, p<.001) and treatment history (β=-.168, p=.004) were significantly associated with PSQI-K total scores. The overall regression model was statistically significant (F=13.117, p<.001), explaining 38.9% of the variance in sleep quality. Conclusion: Sleep-related symptoms and treatment history were significantly associated with sleep quality in firefighters. These findings suggest that sleep health problems are closely related to sleep quality in firefighters, and highlight the importance of systematic sleep health management in fire service organizations.

소개
복합 구조적인 산업사회의 발전에 따라 안전사고와 응급상황에서의 구조구급요청자들이 증가하고 있으나 우리나라의 응급의료체계는 아직 그 수준을 따라가지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 우리나라의 응급의료체계를 확립하고 구조구급에 관한 기초학문의 발전에 기여하고자 학회를 창립한다.
