■这项现象学研究旨在阐明在大学工作场所遭受室内空气质量差(IAQ)的员工的生活经历。它解决了从居住者的角度理解IAQ的个人影响方面的差距。
■先前关于病态建筑综合症和室内空气污染的研究使用定量方法来评估身体健康结果。然而,很少有研究采用定性方法来揭示不良IAQ经历的含义及其对社会心理健康的影响。
■对五名大学员工进行了深入的半结构化访谈,他们将自己的慢性病归因于他们60岁的办公楼中不良的IAQ,并有IAQ问题的历史。使用包括主题编码在内的定性技术分析逐字记录,以提取传达共享经验的关键主题。
■员工将建筑物本身描述为从根本上“病态”和污名化,令人信服的复杂应对行为阻碍了生产力。通信故障,对领导的不信任,紧张的工作场所关系很普遍。一种背叛的感觉,无能为力,从家作为避难所出现了一种与工作场所的分离感。
■虽然在技术上足够,不良的IAQ严重损害了感知健康,生活质量,关系,和满意度。这些账户强调了IAQ的心理社会维度,推进室内环境与福祉之间的理论联系。支持性政策,透明度,通信,参与过程,以人为中心的战略作为培养生产力的方法,幸福,和组织健康。
UNASSIGNED: This phenomenological study aimed to elucidate the lived experiences of employees suffering from poor indoor air quality (IAQ) in their university workplace. It addresses gaps in understanding IAQ\'s personal impacts from occupants\' perspectives.
UNASSIGNED: Prior research on sick building syndrome and indoor air pollution utilized quantitative methods to assess physical health outcomes. However, few studies have adopted qualitative approaches to uncover the meanings ascribed to adverse IAQ experiences and their influences on psychosocial well-being.
UNASSIGNED: In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with five university employees who attributed their chronic illnesses to poor IAQ in their 60-year-old office building with a history of IAQ concerns. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using qualitative techniques including thematic coding to extract key themes conveying shared experiences.
UNASSIGNED: Employees depicted the building itself as fundamentally \"sick\" and stigmatized, compelling complex coping behaviors hindering productivity. Communication breakdowns, mistrust in leadership, and strained workplace relationships were prevalent. A sense of betrayal, powerlessness, and a sense of detachment from the workplace emerged with home as a refuge.
UNASSIGNED: Although technically adequate, poor IAQ profoundly damaged perceived health, quality of life, relationships, and satisfaction. The accounts emphasize IAQ\'s psychosocial dimensions, advancing theoretical links between indoor environments and well-being. Supportive policies, transparency, communication, participatory processes, and human-centered strategies emerge as ways to nurture productivity, well-being, and organizational health.
