Current situation and influencing factors of heatstroke in officers and soldiers from Southern Theater Command from 2017 to 2018
To investigate the current situation of heatstroke among the officers and soldiers in Southern Theatre Command from 2017 to 2018
and to analyze the possible influencing factors.
Methods
2
A total of 1 699 officers and soldiers were subjected by random cluster sampling from 23 units of 5 military categories
including Army
Navy
Air Force
Joint Logistics Support Force and Rocket Army. The current situation and influencing factors of heatstroke in them were analyzed by means of questionnaire and case study.
Results
2
In the past year
138 officers and soldiers (8.1%) had heatstroke
and the incidence of heatstroke in each military service ranked from high to low as Navy (11.2%)
Army (10.1%)
Joint Logistics Support Force (7.3%)
Rocket Army (5.1%) and Air Force (4.2%)
with significant differences among among different military services (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). According to the different military specialties
the top 3 specialties experiencing heatstroke were armored units (22.4%)
surface warships (15.8%) and artillery (10.7%)
and significant difference was seen among different military specialties (
P
<
0.01). The most common onset time of heatstroke was during June and August
and the most prone training subject was 5 km off-road. The results of the comparison study showed that the ratios of female
married and dr
inkers were significantly higher in those with heatstroke than those without (
P
<
0.05). Obvious differences were also seen in sleep quality
dietary status
average daily physical work time
frequency of fatigue training
training when avoiding the heat and the knowledge related to heatstroke between the 2 groups (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
The incidence of heatstroke in the officers and soldiers of Southern Theatre Command is relatively high from 2017 to 2018. Sleep quality
dietary status
average daily physical work time
frequency of fatigue training
training when avoiding the heat and knowledge related to heatstroke may be factors influencing the occurrence of heatstroke in them.
