Factors ensuring healthy work environments for municipal office workers in the disaster area after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident: A qualitative analysis
Previous research has explored the direct impacts of disasters on disaster responders and the factors contributing to their resilience; however, the effects of disasters on responders can persist over the medium to long term. In Japan, municipal office workers play a central role in addressing emergencies during disasters. In the case of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, over a decade after the disaster, the persistent issue of …
Post-Disaster Community Transition of Psychiatric Inpatients: Lessons from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident
Pre-disaster family visits and post-evacuation return to Fukushima among psychiatric inpatients evacuated to out-of-area hospitals after the nuclear accident
Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the effects of pre-evacuation family hospital visits on post-evacuation returns to Fukushima Prefecture (hometown) among psychiatric inpatients who mandatorily evacuated to hospitals outside the prefecture because of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident. Method: Of the inpatients in Fukushima, 44 were admitted to a hospital in the nearby Soso district on March 11, 2011, and were there…

To exam…
Post-evacuation return of psychiatric hospital inpatients evacuated to hospitals outside the Fukushima prefecture after the nuclear accident: A Retrospective Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Post-evacuation return after mandatory hospital evacuation due to complicated disasters is often overlooked and not well-discussed. AIMS: In this study, we explored the factors which are related to the ease or difficulty of the post-evacuation return to Fukushima prefecture of psychiatric inpatients who had been evacuated to hospitals outside the prefecture because of the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) and subsequent Fukushima Dai…
The Systematic Workplace-Improvement Needs Generation (SWING): Verifying a Worker-Centred Tool for Identifying Necessary Workplace Improvements in a Nursing Home in Japan
This study developed and tested a new measurement instrument, the Systematic Workplace-Improvement Needs Generation (SWING), to identify workplace-improvement needs. The participants were 53 workers in a Japanese nursing home for the elderly. The respondents used the SWING questionnaire to self-generate five 'cues' they considered important to improve the workplace. The workers determined each cue's sufficiency level and weight balance (importanc…
Determinants of the evacuation destination for psychiatric hospital inpatients following the Fukushima nuclear disaster
Discovery and Revitalization of “Feeling of Hometown” from a Disaster Site Inhabitant's Continuous Engagement in Reconstruction Work: Ethnographic Interviews with a Radiation Decontamination Worker Ov…
After hometown loss due to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant accident, many radiation decontamination workers started to engage in the reconstruction of their hometown. However, little is known regarding the meaning of experience of engaging in such work. We describe the process of such experience through a series of ethnographic interviews over 5 years with a radiation decontamination worker. The process was classified into the following three p…
