Absenteeism of first responders during emergency events is considered a significant issue in disaster response, which is caused by two primary reasons: inability or unwillingness to report to work. This study provides a review of literature related to emergency responders’ willingness to respond (WTR) to a disaster. In this review, the history of the genesis, myth and reality periods of WTR research was described. A compilation and analysis of 14 perception studies involving 33,849 respondents on emergency responder WTR was conducted. Weighted averages method was used to perform descriptive statistical analysis of the compiled surveys. Results showed that, on average, 72.1% of the emergency responders sorted by disaster and 75.1% sorted by role reported they are willing to respond to a disaster. Negative consequences, including concern of home damage, concern for family, and risk to self are the primary barriers to WTR. In contrast, preparedness and a sense of professional duty act as facilitators to WTR.

灾害期间应急响应者的响应意愿：文献综述

紧急事件期间第一响应者的缺勤被认为是灾难响应中的一个重要问题，这主要由两个原因引起：无法或不愿上班。本研究回顾了与应急响应者对灾难的响应意愿 (WTR) 相关的文献。在这篇综述中，描述了 WTR 研究的起源、神话和现实时期的历史。对涉及紧急响应者 WTR 的 33,849 名受访者的 14 项认知研究进行了汇编和分析。加权平均法用于对编制的调查进行描述性统计分析。结果显示，平均而言，72.1% 的应急响应者（按灾难排序）和 75.1%（按角色排序）表示愿意响应灾难。负面后果，包括对家庭损坏的关注、对家庭的关注和对自我的风险是 WTR 的主要障碍。相比之下，准备和职业责任感是 WTR 的促进者。
