Employees are often exposed to and bothered by environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in the workplace; however, little is known about correlates of workers' perceptions of their exposure. In this study, 20,801 employees in 114 work sites in the United States were surveyed; variables related to perceptions of exposure and being bothered by ETS were entered into regression models. Many of the workplaces had total or partial restrictions on smoking in the workplace; however, over half of the respondents (52.4%) reported they were exposed to ETS at work. Smoking policy, smoking status, age, gender, living with a smoker, and occupation contributed to models for perceived exposure and being bothered by tobacco smoke. Work site smoking restrictions seem to have an impact on employee attitudes concerning exposure to ETS. About 35% of employees were bothered regularly by smokiness at their workplaces, which made their working conditions both uncomfortable and exposed them to an unsafe working environment.
员工在工作场所经常接触环境烟草烟雾(ETS)并受到其困扰;然而,对于员工对自身接触情况的认知的相关因素却知之甚少。在本研究中,对美国114个工作场所的20,801名员工进行了调查;将与接触认知以及受ETS困扰相关的变量纳入回归模型。许多工作场所在工作场所对吸烟有全面或部分限制;然而,超过一半的受访者(52.4%)报告称他们在工作时接触到了ETS。吸烟政策、吸烟状况、年龄、性别、与吸烟者同住以及职业对接触认知和受烟草烟雾困扰的模型有影响。工作场所的吸烟限制似乎会影响员工对接触ETS的态度。约35%的员工经常受到工作场所烟雾的困扰,这使他们的工作条件既不舒服,又使他们处于不安全的工作环境中。
