摘要

引言手机对人类健康有着明确的风险。对手机发射电磁辐射的认识对于预防健康风险和可能的负面健康障碍至关重要。目的和目的本调查旨在评估印度耳鼻喉科医生对手机辐射及其对身体有害影响的认识以及手机使用趋势。方法本调查旨在获得印度相对同质的耳鼻喉科医生的手机使用和辐射意识的基线数据。这是一项横断面在线调查,通过作者设计的定制问卷评估对手机辐射的认识,问卷由四部分组成:1。人口统计详细信息,2。手机使用趋势,3。手机辐射知识4。了解手机辐射对健康的危害。结果-接受问卷调查的耳鼻喉科医生总数为6336人,其中259人做出了回应,这构成了我们研究的样本量。因此,调查的回应率为4%。共有259名耳鼻喉科医生参与了这项研究。参与调查的人口平均年龄为41.7810.32岁。调查的男女比例分别为161:98。调查中有172名私人和87名政府耳鼻喉科医生。MS耳鼻喉科是该研究中最常见的资格,223名医生拥有该学位,20名医生拥有DNB,其中7人完成了DLO。参与问卷调查的耳鼻喉科医生毕业后平均行医年限为13.537.38年。调查的主要参与者是私人耳鼻喉科顾问,共有110人,其次是58岁的老年住院医生、39岁的助理教授、29岁的教授、10岁的副教授和13岁的额外教授。从调查问卷中可以明显看出,242名受访者是右撇子,204名研究人群使用右耳打电话,还通过在附近给他们打未接电话进行了交叉检查。耳鼻喉科医生接触手机的平均年数为15.01 5.75。最多有153名外科医生使用手机长达11-20年。平均每天使用手机的时间为373分钟。101名耳鼻喉科医生中使用手机超过4小时的人数最多。令人惊讶的是,通过问卷调查,我们发现250名医生中,共有60名医生平均每天使用手机超过10小时,占调查研究人群的24%。问题15-24的目的是让受访者了解手机的电磁辐射,可以任意地说,得分为5分或5分以上意味着此人有意识。耳鼻喉科医生对10个问题的平均正确回答为5.97±1.66。同样,问题25至35评估了对手机辐射产生的健康危害的认识。耳鼻喉科医生的平均正确反应为6.30±1.87。

Quantifying the mobile phone usage and gauging the perception about its harmful effects among the Otorhinolaryngologists in India- A questionnaire-based pan India survey
Introduction-There is a definitive risk to human health because of mobile phones. The awareness towards mobile phones emitted electromagnetic radiation is of paramount importance to prevent health risks and possible negative health disorders. Aim and objectives-The aim of the survey is to assess the awareness of mobile phone radiation and its harmful effects on the body and the mobile phone usage trend among Otorhinolaryngologists from India. Methodology-The present survey aimed to obtain baseline data on cell phone usage and radiation awareness among a relatively homogenous cohort of Otorhinolaryngologists from India. This is a cross-sectional online survey assessing awareness of Mobile Phone radiation through a custom-made questionnaire devised by the authors which consisted of four parts: 1. Demographic details, 2. Mobile phone usage trend, 3. Knowledge of mobile phone radiation 4. Awareness of health hazards produced by mobile phone radiation. Results- The total number (n) of otorhinolaryngologists to whom the questionnaire was sent was 6336 of which 259 of them responded which formed the sample size of our study. Thus, the response rate of the survey was 4%. A total of 259 Otorhinolaryngologists participated in the study. The mean age of the population involved in the survey is 41.7810.32 years.
