Abstract:Objective To investigate the current situation of emergency preparedness and its influencing factors among occupational population in Beijing City so as to provide evidence for developing intervention strategies. Methods A multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 800 staff members aged over 18 years in Beijing City in 2015, and then we conducted a questionnaire survey on basic information, measuring scale for emergency preparedness, emergency experience and judgment, emergency knowledge and skills, and information about the involvements in ability development activities. Chi-square test was used for single factor analysis and logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Results Only 2.6% of the occupational population aged over 18 years in Beijing City got ready for emergency preparedness and 22.3% had no any emergency plan. The overall average score of emergency preparedness was (3.28±0.47). The scores of emergency awareness, emergency attitude, emergency psychology and culture, emergency preparedness behavior tendency and emergency knowledge and skills were (2.91±0.79), (3.45±0.67), (3.36±0.55), (3.09±0.88) and (3.63±0.81) respectively.The main reason for having no emergency preparedness was at a loss what to do. The staff members who were females, health-related technical personnel, lived in high-rise buildings with elevators, purchased commercial insurance, had emergency education or training and drilling, and who had the scores of emergency awareness, emergency attitude, emergency psychology and culture, emergency preparedness behavior, and emergency knowledge and skills ≥ 4 points, had a higher ratio of good preparedness for possible emergencies, which were 29.5%, 45.9%, 32.6%, 31.3%, 39.9%, 40.5%, 44.3%, 36.7%, 39.4%, 43.7% and 33.3% respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that the factors influencing the level of emergency preparedness in the occupational population were purchasing commercial insurance (P=0.15, OR=1.582, 95%CI (1.092-2.292)), having emergency education or training (P=0.006,OR=2.348, 95%CI(1.279-4.311)) and emergency preparedness behavior tendency (P=0.003,OR=2.026,95%CI(1.280-3.207)). Conclusions The level of emergency preparedness capability among the occupational population in Beijing City still remains to be improved. It is necessary to intensify the emergency education/training, instill risk awareness, improve the level of emergency-related knowledge and skills and promote the capability of emergency preparedness.
