اطلاع‌رساني خطر (Risk Communication) در بحران پاندمي COVID-19

Risk Communication in COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis

جهان از اواخر سال 2019 و اوايل سال 2020 درگير پاندمي يك كورناويروس جديد شده است. در مقابله با اين همه‌گيري عظيم، نحوه‌ي درك مردم از خطر (Risk perception) و شيوه‌هاي اطلاع‌رساني خطر (Risk communication) به آن‌ها، نقش اساسي در تصميم‌گيري و انتخاب رفتار مردم دارد. مقابله با اين بيماري نوظهور، نيازمند بسيج همه‌ي امكانات جامعه و همياري همه‌ي مردم مي‌باشد. اين در حالي است كه بي‌توجهي به اهميت نحوه‌ي اطلاع‌رساني و گاهي انتشار اطلاعات ضد و نقيض و نادرست، با تضعيف اعتماد عمومي، مانعي بزرگ در راه كنترل اپيدمي خواهد بود.

The world is embroiled in a pandemic of a new coronavirus at the end of 2019 and early in 2020, with such a large scale that it has severely involved the political, economic, and social systems in most countries around the world. The scale of the crisis is so widespread that many experts believe that the post-corona world will be substantially different from the pre-corona world. In the face of this massive epidemic, how people perceive risk and how to risk is communicated, plays a central role in deciding and choosing people's behavior. Fighting with this emerging phenomenon requires mobilizing all the possibilities of society and helping all people in the field of empathy and altruism. In this article, we briefly review aspects of the important concept of risk perception and communication in this pervasive crisis.
