Subjective reasoning for persistent worry about radiation seven years after the Fukushima nuclear disaster
Worry about radiation is a long-lasting concern among community residents after a nuclear power plant accident. We aimed to explore the reasons behind this persistent worry based on descriptions collected from the affected population. We analyzed the descriptions provided in a questionnaire survey by those who worried about radiation even seven years after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. We divided the 422 respondents into three …
Prevalence, incidence, and recovery of metabolic syndrome after the fukushima nuclear power plant disaster
Social networks and posttraumatic stress symptoms five to ten years after the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster
Development of the Japanese version of Staff Attitude to Coercion Scale
While the original three-dimensional structure was not replicated, construct validity was partially confirmed. Reliability of the total scale was good. In Japan, although using the subscales was not recommended, using the total scale of SACS seemed acceptable
Worry about Radiation and Its Risk Factors Five to Ten Years after the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Disaster
Worry about radiation persists long after nuclear power plant accidents. Young age, low socioeconomic status, being married, and disaster-related experiences are known to be associated with greater worry about radiation. This study explored the duration of the effects of these risk factors on worry about radiation after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, using the longitudinal data of randomly sampled non-evacuee community residents…
Adolescent Work Values and Drug Use in Adulthood
Background: Personal values have been considered as a predictor of drug use. Methods: We examined the association between work values in adolescence and drug use in adulthood using 23-year longitudinal data from the Youth Development Study. Results: Partial extrinsic and intrinsic work values predicted cannabis use in the past year after adjusting for sociodemographic variables and alcohol and tobacco use at baseline. A part of intrinsic work val…
Distrust in government and its relationship with mental health after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident
BACKGROUND: Distrust in authorities has negative effects on mental health. AIMS: In this study, we aimed to explore whether the impact of distrust in government on mental health became stronger in the area heavily affected by the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. METHODS: We examined the effects of distrust in the national government on depressive symptoms three years after the accident among community residents in Fukushima prefecture…
Longitudinal associations of radiation risk perceptions and mental health among non-evacuee residents of Fukushima prefecture seven years after the nuclear power plant disaster
We aimed to explore the effects of prolonged radiation risk perceptions on mental health after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident occurred in 2011. We investigated the longitudinal associations of radiation risk perceptions five years after the accident with psychological distress and posttraumatic stress symptoms two years later among non-evacuee community residents of Fukushima prefecture. A two-wave questionnaire survey was administere…
Development and Evaluation of a Gatekeeper Training Program Regarding Anxiety about Radiation Health Effects Following a Nuclear Power Plant Accident
After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011, residents perceived a radiation exposure risk. To address the concerns about radiation exposure and the subsequent effects on their health, we developed the gatekeeper training program for radiation health anxiety and mental health issues. The program consisted of a presentation and roleplay, with educational objectives to the increase knowledge and understanding around radia…
Onset and remission of common mental disorders among adults living in temporary housing for three years after the triple disaster in Northeast Japan
The onset of common mental disorders increased in the first year, but then levelled off in the following years among residents in temporary housing after the disaster. Remission from incident post-disaster mental disorders was slower in the shelter group than in the general population. Post-disaster mental health service could consider the greater incidence in the first year and prolonged remission of mental disorders among survivors with a long-…
Long-lasting effects of distrust in government and science on mental health eight years after the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster
Environmental radiation level, radiation anxiety, and psychological distress of non-evacuee residents in Fukushima five years after the Great East Japan Earthquake
The present study aimed to clarify the associations among radiation exposure or psychological exposure to the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident (i.e., fear/anxiety immediately after the accident), current radiation anxiety, and psychological distress among non-evacuee community residents in Fukushima five years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred in March 2011. A questionnaire survey was administered to a random sample of n…
