医疗卫生人员对气候变化的健康风险认知和适应策略研究进展

Advances on health risk perceptions of climate change and adaptation strategies among health professionals

  • 摘要: 全球气候变化已经并将持续对人类健康造成广泛而严重的影响。世界卫生组织呼吁,医疗卫生专业人员须在应对气候变化和保护公众健康方面发挥重要作用,尤其应当在气候敏感性疾病监测、脆弱人群识别与照护、健康共益效应促进、风险沟通和环保倡导等方面采取积极行动。本研究系统回顾了国内外医疗卫生人员对气候变化的健康风险认知和适应策略研究进展,发现大多数人员基本认识到气候变化的健康威胁,并采取了高温热浪和气候敏感性传染病早期预警等有限的应对措施,但仍面临突出的挑战和障碍,需要更多的健康风险评估信息、风险管理专业知识以及充足的专业技术人员和资金支持。未来研究应加强评估气候变化健康风险认知程度与实际适应行动的关联性,并开展优先适应策略甄别、干预措施效果和成本效益的分析,以帮助政府决策部门和医疗卫生人员积极应对。

     

    Abstract: Global climate change has widespread and serious impacts on human health and is expected to be worse in the future. The World Health Organization has called for health professionals to play an important role in addressing climate change and protecting public health, especially in climate-sensitive disease surveillance, vulnerable population identification and care, health co-benefit promotion, risk communication, and environmental advocacy. We systematically reviewed international research advances of health care professionals' perceptions and adaptation strategies on climate change-related health risks. We found that most health professionals basically recognized the health threats of climate change and adopted a few early warning strategies in coping with heat waves and climate-sensitive infectious diseases. However, they still faced significant challenges and obstacles, and needed more health risk assessment information, risk management expertise, and adequate health workforce and financial support. Future research should strengthen the assessment on the relationship between climate changerelated health risk perceptions and actual adaptation actions, and the evaluation on priority adaptation strategies, and the effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis of interventions, aiming to help government decision-making departments and health professionals respond to climate change positively.
