The aims of the present study were to investigate what kind of anxiety radiation decontamination workers have, and to analyze what factors are associated to presence or absence of their anxieties. A self-administered questionnaire was conducted, which included 10 anxiety items. A logistic regression model was then used to determine what factors were related to increased anxiety. Of 531 workers who completed the questionnaire, 477 (91.6%) complained of at least one of the 8 anxiety items. The most common anxiety item was job security (41.8%), and the least common item was working hours (6.0%). The logistic regression analysis revealed that the most common causes of related to presence of anxiety was heat illness and the most common causes of related to absence of anxiety was having someone available for consultation. The current study revealed the kinds of anxiety, and the factors associated with presence or absence of each anxiety among radiation decontamination workers. These results provide important implications for the improvement of educational content and occupational health management for radiation decontamination workers in the future.
本研究旨在探讨去污作业人员存在何种焦虑，并分析哪些因素与他们是否存在焦虑有关。采用自填式问卷，包括 10 个焦虑项目。然后，使用逻辑回归模型来确定哪些因素与焦虑增加有关。在完成问卷的 531 名工人中，477 名（91.6%）至少对 8 个焦虑项目中的一个表示抱怨。最常见的焦虑项目是工作安全性（41.8%），最不常见的项目是工作时间（6.0%）。逻辑回归分析显示，与焦虑存在相关的最常见原因是热疾病，与焦虑不存在相关的最常见原因是有可咨询的人。本研究揭示了去污作业人员存在的焦虑类型，以及与每种焦虑存在或不存在相关的因素。这些结果为未来提高去污作业人员的教育内容和职业健康管理提供了重要启示。
