The result showed that those surveyed knew very little about the knowledge of heat wave, only 4.2% of them were familiar to heat wave knowledge, but their understanding to the forming reasons and change trend of heat wave was right. The heat wave was not very beneficial to health, and more than 90% of persons surveyed felt uncomfortable under hot weather conditions, including nausea, dizziness, irritability and chest congestion, etc, even some of them went to the hospital, which indicated that heat wave had a great influence on human health in Hainan Province. About 77% of people took effective protective measures after receiving heat wave early warning, but compared with other age groups, the people over 60 years old rarely took steps to protect the health. Therefore, these older people should strengthen the protection measures under hot weather conditions.

摘要:

为了分析海南省不同人群对高温热浪及其影响与适应的感知程度,抽取海南省18周岁以上居民1 448名作为调查对象进行问卷调查。结果显示,调查对象对高温天气相关知识熟悉程度较低,仅有4.2%的居民非常熟悉,但对高温产生原因和未来变化趋势都有较为正确的认识。高温天气对海南省居民健康有较大的不利影响,九成以上的调查对象都曾在高温天气中出现不适,部分人群因此前往医院就诊。高温预警后,约77%的调查对象都能采取有效措施进行防御,但60岁以上的人群采取有效防护措施的比重相对较低,因此在高温天气中该类人群应加强高温防护。
