The Environmental Symptoms Questionnaire (ESQ) was developed to obtain information about the incidence and severity of symptoms produced by exposure to several different climatic conditions. A subsequent revision is reported here, along with a description of its use in two studies involving physical stresses frequently encountered by military personnel. The first study examined the effects of prolonged flight on the health and physical work performance of men assigned to an overseas station. The second study tested the effects of acute altitude exposure on the load-carrying capacity of men over a period of several days. Five independent symptom factors were identified in the data of the first study, and then were applied to the analyses of treatments of both studies. The factor scores exhibited predictable and meaningful data in both cases. The factors are described, results are compared to previous studies, and general recommendations for use of the questionnaire are made.
环境症状问卷(ESQ)旨在获取有关暴露于几种不同气候条件下所产生症状的发生率和严重程度的信息。本文报告了该问卷随后的修订情况,并描述了其在两项涉及军事人员经常遇到的身体压力的研究中的应用。第一项研究考察了长时间飞行对被派往海外驻地的男性的健康和身体工作表现的影响。第二项研究测试了急性海拔暴露在数天时间内对男性负重能力的影响。在第一项研究的数据中确定了五个独立的症状因素,然后将其应用于两项研究的治疗分析。在这两种情况下,因素得分都呈现出可预测且有意义的数据。对这些因素进行了描述,将结果与先前的研究进行了比较,并提出了使用该问卷的一般建议。
