摘要

目标 生物恐怖主义是一种疾病,其攻击可能是隐蔽和潜伏的,需要一段时间才能表现出来,一旦被发现,就可能导致大规模爆发。一旦被发现,就会大规模爆发。因此,做好准备对于及早发现和应对以减轻损害至关重要。虽然公共卫生中心的公共卫生护士(PHNs)负责检测和应对生物恐怖主义,但他们的准备状况并不明确。因此,本研究旨在阐明在日本首都圈公共卫生中心传染病控制部门工作的公共卫生护士的培训经验、知识和对生物恐怖主义的认识状况。研究对象是东京及其三个邻近都道府县的 88 家公共卫生中心传染病控制部门的公共卫生护士。这些都是人口稠密的大都市地区,有许多大规模集会活动,发生生物恐怖主义的可能性很高。2019 年通过邮寄方式进行了匿名自填式问卷调查。结果 我们收到了 71 份回复(40.3%)。共有 10 名医生(14.1%)表示在工作场所接受过生物恐怖主义培训。关于对四种极有可能发生生物恐怖主义的传染病的了解,超过 95% 的受访者回答听说过这些疾病。但是,很少有人知道相关的治疗方法或恐怖分子的应对措施。尽管调查对象意识到生物恐怖主义的严重性和防备工作的有效性,但他们没有足够的机会或时间接受培训。他们往往对自己的应对措施信心不足,并愿意接受培训。结论 对本次调查做出回应的医生护士没有足够的培训经验、知识、机会和时间进行生物恐怖主义培训,建立培训体系以提高生物恐怖主义的防范能力是一项挑战。有必要让公共卫生护士学生了解生物恐怖主义的存在。此外,公共卫生中心的公共卫生护士至少需要接受一次使用在线服务的培训,包括根据需要补充信息。根据 2019 年冠状病毒疾病大流行的经验教训,保健中心将制定健康危机管理计划。该计划将于 2024 财年生效,我们认为必须将防范生物恐怖主义作为该计划的一部分。

[Understanding public health nurses' experience, knowledge, and perception of bioterrorism training in Japan].

Objectives Bioterrorism is a disease in which the attacks can be covert and latent, take time to manifest, and, when discovered, can result in large outbreaks. When detected, they can become large-scale outbreaks. Therefore, preparedness is essential for early detection and response for damage mitigation. Although public health nurses (PHNs) of public health centers are responsible for detecting and dealing with bioterrorism, their preparation status is not clear. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the status of training experience, knowledge, and awareness of bioterrorism among PHNs working in public health centers' infectious disease control departments in Japan's metropolitan areas.Methods This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study. The participants were PHNs in the infectious disease control departments of 88 public health centers in Tokyo and its three neighboring prefectures. This are densely populated metropolitan areas with many mass gathering events and a high probability of bioterrorism. An anonymous, self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted by mail in 2019. Two PHNs per location were surveyed regarding their attributes, training experience, knowledge, and perceptions.Results We received 71 responses (40.3%). A total of 10 (14.1%) PHNs reported having experience with bioterrorism training in the workplace. Regarding the knowledge of the four infectious diseases with a high probability of bioterrorism, more than 95% of the respondents answered they had heard of them. However, few were aware of related treatments or terrorist responses. Although survey respondents were aware of the seriousness of bioterrorism and the effectiveness of preparedness, they did not have sufficient opportunity or time to have training. They tended to be less confident in their response and were willing to have training.Conclusion PHNs who responded to this survey do not have sufficient training experience, knowledge, opportunities, and time for bioterrorism training, and establishing a training system to improve bioterrorism preparedness is a challenge. It will be necessary for PHN students to learn about the existence of bioterrorism. Further, PHNs in public health centers need to be trained at least once using online services, including brushing up on information as needed. Based on the lessons learned from the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, health centers will formulate a Health Crisis Management Plan. This will be effective in fiscal 2024, and we believe that it is essential that preparedness against bioterrorism be a part of this plan.
