摘要

阿拉斯加原住民和美洲印第安人儿童经常患呼吸道疾病。室内空气质量与儿童呼吸道感染的严重程度和频率有关。高效微粒空气净化器(HEPA)可有效改善室内空气质量,保护呼吸系统健康。2019 年,育空-库斯科克温卫生公司实施了一项试点计划,向患有慢性肺部疾病的儿童家庭提供教育和高效微粒空气净化器。研究小组通过采访参与试点计划的 11 个家庭的代表,对高效空气净化器的可接受性和使用情况进行了评估。所有受访者都表示他们孩子的健康状况有所改善,一些受访者认为其他家庭成员的健康状况也因高效空气净化器而得到改善。受访者表示,高效空气净化器使用方便、噪音小、运行成本低。在接受访谈时,11 个家庭中有 5 个家庭仍在使用高效空气净化器,即在收到设备约三年后。停止使用的最常见原因是设备故障和缺少替换过滤器,这表明计划支持可以提高可持续性。我们的评估表明,在阿拉斯加农村原住民家庭中使用高效空气净化器是可以接受的,也是可行的。

"You can feel the fresh air … " Rural Alaska Native household perceptions of home air purifiers and health.

Alaska Native and American Indian children experience frequent respiratory illness. Indoor air quality is associated with the severity and frequency of respiratory infections in children. High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) purifiers effectively improve indoor air quality and may protect respiratory health. In 2019, the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation implemented a pilot programme that provided education and HEPA purifiers to households of children with chronic lung conditions. The team evaluated HEPA purifier acceptability and use by interviewing representatives from 11 households that participated in the pilot programme. All interviewees reported improvement in their child's health, and some believed that the health of other household members was also improved because of the HEPA purifier. Interviewees reported that the HEPA purifiers were easy to use, quiet, and not expensive to run. Five of 11 households were still using the HEPA purifier at the time of the interview, which was about three years after receipt of the unit. The most common reasons for discontinuing use were equipment failure and lack of replacement filter, suggesting that programme support could increase sustainability. Our evaluation suggests that HEPA purifiers are acceptable and feasible for use in rural Alaska Native households.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Circumpolar Health is published by Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Circumpolar Health Research Network [CircHNet]. The journal follows the tradition initiated by its predecessor, Arctic Medical Research. The journal specializes in circumpolar health. It provides a forum for many disciplines, including the biomedical sciences, social sciences, and humanities as they relate to human health in high latitude environments. The journal has a particular interest in the health of indigenous peoples. It is a vehicle for dissemination and exchange of knowledge among researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and those they serve. International Journal of Circumpolar Health welcomes Original Research Articles, Review Articles, Short Communications, Book Reviews, Dissertation Summaries, History and Biography, Clinical Case Reports, Public Health Practice, Conference and Workshop Reports, and Letters to the Editor.
