由于缺乏相关知识，工作场所对B型肝炎病毒（HBV）和丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）传播风险的预防和歧视因过度关注而增加。通过教育提高对HBV和HCV及其预防的认识，可能是减少偏见和歧视的第一步。本研究的目的是确定知识水平和消极态度之间的关联，对HBV和HCV感染的同事在日本的工作人口。在日本进行了一项涉及约3，000人的在线匿名全国调查。问卷内容包括对HBV和HCV的认识，以及对工作场所HBV和HCV感染同事的态度。根据因子分析结果将知识分为“保证日常活动不被感染”、“感染风险”和“HBV/HCV肝炎的特征”3类。采用多因素Logistic回归分析。共有3,129人回答了调查：36.0%的人报告他们担心感染的同事传播HBV和HCV的可能性; 32.1%的人避免与感染的同事接触; 23.7%的人对HBV和HCV感染有偏见。参与者被分为三分之一。HBV、HCV知识水平越高，对这三种消极态度越敏感（P < 0.005）。这项研究表明，增加知识可能会减少个人对HBV和HCV感染的同事的消极态度。因此，我们应该促进增加知识的HBV和HCV的阶段，以减少对HBV和HCV感染的同事的消极态度。
Prejudice and discrimination in the workplace regarding the risk of transmission of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are increased by excess concerns due to a lack of relevant knowledge. Education to increase knowledge about HBV and HCV and their prevention could be the first step to reduce prejudice and discrimination. This study aimed to determine the association between the level of knowledge and negative attitudes toward HBV- and HCV-infected colleagues among the Japanese working population. An online anonymous nationwide survey involving about 3,000 individuals was conducted in Japan. The questionnaire consisted of knowledge of HBV and HCV, and attitudes toward HBV- and HCV-infected colleagues in the workplace. Knowledge was divided into three categories: “ensuring daily activities not to be infected”; “risk of infection”; and “characteristics of HBV/HCV hepatitis”, based on the result of factor analysis. Multiple logistic regression analysis was applied. A total of 3,129 persons responded to the survey: 36.0% reported they worried about the possibility of transmission of HBV and HCV from infected colleagues; 32.1% avoided contact with infected colleagues; and 23.7% had prejudiced opinions about HBV and HCV infection. The participants were classified into tertiles. A higher level of knowledge of HBV and HCV was significantly associated with these three negative attitudes (P for trend < 0.005). This study suggests that increasing knowledge may decrease individuals’ negative attitudes towards HBV- and HCV-infected colleagues. Thus, we should promote increased knowledge of HBV and HCV in stages to reduce negative attitudes toward HBV- and HCV-infected colleagues.
