This study examined the reactions of Finnish people to an incident at a Russian nuclear power plant. A random sample of 1280 subjects from four different towns in Southern Finland was sent a questionnaire 6 weeks after the incident. Return rate was 55%. Subjects were asked their interpretation of the situation, their contentedness with information delivery and their perception of risk from Russian nuclear power plants. Also other negative life events during the last year were assessed. Psychological well-being, anxiety and somatization and hypochondria were studied. Subjects living in towns at shorter distance from the power plant interpreted the situation as more serious. They were also more discontented with the information delivery. Despite their worry, most people did not take any protective activities.
本研究调查了芬兰民众对俄罗斯一座核电站发生的事故的反应。在该事故发生6周后，向来自芬兰南部四个不同城镇的1280名受试者随机抽样发送了一份调查问卷。回收率为55%。询问了受试者对该情况的解读、他们对信息传递的满意度以及他们对俄罗斯核电站风险的认知。还评估了过去一年中其他负面生活事件。研究了心理健康、焦虑、躯体化和疑病症。居住在距离核电站较近城镇的受试者认为情况更严重。他们对信息传递也更不满意。尽管感到担忧，但大多数人并未采取任何防护措施。
