目的我们旨在识别应用人为因素知识库的机会，以减轻与COVID-19疫情独特特征相关的灾害管理（DM）挑战。背景糖尿病的作用是尽量减少和防止传染病在一段较长的时间内进一步传播。这就需要满足大规模的后勤、协调和专门培训需求。然而，在大流行病应对和恢复期间，与灾害管理有关的挑战与其他类型的灾害有很大不同。方法通过专家评审，对糖尿病中的人因和人机工程学（HFE）相关问题进行了文献综述。结果应对COVID-19危机为DM和公共卫生从业人员带来了复杂而独特的挑战。与其他灾害和以往的大流行相比，COVID-19疫情的规模、程度和传播速度都是前所未有的。响应和DM的高度技术复杂性，加上缺乏心理模型和专业知识来应对这种独特的灾难，严重挑战了响应工作系统。最近的研究调查的作用HFE在建模DM系统的特点，以提高弹性，加快应急管理的专业知识，开发敏捷的培训方法，以促进动态变化的响应，改善系统元素之间的沟通和协调，减轻职业危害，包括个人防护装备的设计指南，并改善程序，以提高响应工作的效率和有效性。结论这一简短的审查强调了外地的贡献，积极和弹性DM为正在进行的和未来的流行病的潜力。
Objective We aimed to identify opportunities for application of human factors knowledge base to mitigate disaster management (DM) challenges associated with the unique characteristics of the COVID-19 pandemic. Background The role of DM is to minimize and prevent further spread of the contagion over an extended period of time. This requires addressing large-scale logistics, coordination, and specialized training needs. However, DM-related challenges during the pandemic response and recovery are significantly different than with other kinds of disasters. Method An expert review was conducted to document issues relevant to human factors and ergonomics (HFE) in DM. Results The response to the COVID-19 crisis has presented complex and unique challenges to DM and public health practitioners. Compared to other disasters and previous pandemics, the COVID-19 outbreak has had an unprecedented scale, magnitude, and propagation rate. The high technical complexity of response and DM coupled with lack of mental model and expertise to respond to such a unique disaster has seriously challenged the response work systems. Recent research has investigated the role of HFE in modeling DM systems' characteristics to improve resilience, accelerating emergency management expertise, developing agile training methods to facilitate dynamically changing response, improving communication and coordination among system elements, mitigating occupational hazards including guidelines for the design of personal protective equipment, and improving procedures to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of response efforts. Conclusion This short review highlights the potential for the field's contribution to proactive and resilient DM for the ongoing and future pandemics.
