To conduct a survey among non-medical employees working at the time of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident, in order to determine the factors associated with their intentions to leave their jobs during the nuclear disaster.
We asked 287 employees (166 men and 121 women) in the study.
We asked about their intentions to leave their jobs after the nuclear disaster. We also asked about relevant factors, including the participants' demographic factors, living situations and working environments.
We found that in employees younger than 40 (OR=4.73, 95% CI 1.74 to 12.85, p=0.002), being married (OR=3.18, 95% CI 1.03 to 9.79, p=0.044), measurements of the ambient dose rates in their homes after the accident (OR=5.32, 95% CI 1.65 to 17.14, p=0.005), anxiety about their relationships with their colleagues after the accident (OR=3.91, 95% CI 1.51 to 10.16, p=0.005) and the influence of radiation on the workplace (OR=0.33, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.80, p=0.014) were independently associated with the non-medical employees' intentions to leave their jobs after the nuclear disaster.
Our results suggest the need for continuous risk communication regarding such factors and the provision of information about the health effects of radiation exposure to non-medical employees after nuclear disasters.
对福岛第一核电站事故发生时在职的非医疗员工进行一项调查，以确定与他们在核灾难期间离职意愿相关的因素。
我们在研究中询问了287名员工（166名男性和121名女性）。
我们询问了他们在核灾难后离职的意愿。我们还询问了相关因素，包括参与者的人口统计学因素、生活状况和工作环境。
我们发现，年龄小于40岁的员工（比值比=4.73，95%置信区间1.74至12.85，p=0.002）、已婚（比值比=3.18，95%置信区间1.03至9.79，p=0.044）、事故后家中环境剂量率的测量值（比值比=5.32，95%置信区间1.65至17.14，p=0.005）、事故后对与同事关系的焦虑（比值比=3.91，95%置信区间1.51至10.16，p=0.005）以及辐射对工作场所的影响（比值比=0.33，95%置信区间0.14至0.80，p=0.014）与非医疗员工在核灾难后离职的意愿独立相关。
我们的结果表明，需要就这些因素持续进行风险沟通，并在核灾难后向非医疗员工提供有关辐射暴露对健康影响的信息。
