随着社会的发展,现代医学已经从单纯的生物医学模式转向生物—心理—社会医学模式。这个转变要求卫生工作应从生理学观念扩大到心理学、社会学观念,从单纯的治疗扩大到多因素的综合性预防。在劳动卫生与职业病领域,现代工业的飞速发展、职业病名单的扩大、职业病患者的增加,正是医学模式转变的反映。国内外一些职业卫生学家明确指出,当今的职业卫生已经不仅仅是预防和控制职业病,而是应该涉及到工作与人体健康之间关系的各个方面。 With the development of society, modern medicine has shifted from purely biomedical model to bio-psycho-social medical model. This shift requires that health work should be extended from the concept of physiology to the concepts of psychology and sociology, from simple treatment to multi-factor comprehensive prevention. In the field of labor hygiene and occupational diseases, the rapid development of modern industry, the expansion of the list of occupational diseases and the increase of those with occupational diseases are just the reflection of the changes in the medical model. Some occupational health professionals at home and abroad have clearly pointed out that today’s occupational health has become more than just prevention and control of occupational diseases, but should involve all aspects of the relationship between work and human health.
