The results of a survey of radiation workers suggest that they are worried about the effects of radiation exposure on health, and approximately 30% of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) workers have anxiety. This questionnaire survey reveals that the higher the frequency of radiation education, the higher the knowledge of radiation the workers will have, and that the higher the level of knowledge, the lower the anxiety. To reduce anxiety, it is important to increase knowledge about radiation through radiation education. However, even those workers who had radiation education several times still had anxiety. According to the Ordinance on the Prevention of Ionizing Radiation Hazards, the time spent on education about the effects of radiation on the human body is only about 30 minutes. This education is not enough to reduce anxiety. FDNPP workers needed more effective education to increase their knowledge and to reduce their anxiety.
一项针对辐射工作人员的调查结果表明,他们担心辐射暴露对健康的影响,并且约30%的福岛第一核电站(FDNPP)工作人员存在焦虑情绪。这项问卷调查显示,辐射教育的频率越高,工作人员对辐射的了解就越多,而且知识水平越高,焦虑程度越低。为了减轻焦虑,通过辐射教育增加对辐射的了解很重要。然而,即使是那些接受过多次辐射教育的工作人员仍然存在焦虑情绪。根据《电离辐射危害预防条例》,关于辐射对人体影响的教育时间仅约30分钟。这种教育不足以减轻焦虑。福岛第一核电站的工作人员需要更有效的教育来增加他们的知识并减轻他们的焦虑。
