What facilitated the successful evacuations of patients on dialysis after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident? A qualitative analysis of facility staff e…
This study aimed to assess the impact of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident on dialysis management in the affected areas. Although many challenges faced by dialysis facilities after large-scale complex disasters have been previously reported, the first-hand experiences of stakeholders involved in these facilities have not been appraised. To address this gap, we conducted interviews w…
Behavioural changes in high school students and their parents, following their participation in seminars on discrimination and prejudice regarding radiation exposure
This is the first report evaluating the efficacy of the 'Radiation College' seminar of the 'GU-GU-RU' project. The findings can be viewed as 'long-term follow-up initiatives and their effects' following a nuclear disaster from the public health and education perspectives. This type of seminar, containing content targeting a different generation, could be an effective approach to address various forms of emerging social discrimination and prejudic…

Association between the deaths indirectly caused by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident (disaster-related deaths) and pre-disaster long-term care certificate level
The health of the vulnerable populations receiving the Long-Term Care (LTC) Insurance Programs was threatened by the direct and indirect effects of disasters. The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami and the explosion at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP) forced 164,865 people's evacuation and caused many disaster-related deaths. We examined the relationship between these deaths and LTC certification. Data were collected fr…
