| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The author performed the multi-method studies for the evacuees by Fukushima nuclear disaster; anthropological field work study, semi-structural interview study, and large-scale questionnaire survey. By the five large-scale questionnaire survey jointed with private support group “Shinsai-Shien-Network Saitama (SSN)” and “Nihon-Housou-Kyokai (NHK)”, we determined a high-risk presence of probable Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in evacuated residents. By the multiple logistic regression analysis, the serious consequences of the nuclear disaster, especially many of the socio-economic factors, were linked to psychological distress and suffering. It can be determined that “structural violence” has had a major impact afflicting victims’ lives. The mental health problems are not individual or personal in origin, but rather, they should be understood as a context of social responsibility to the disaster. Psycho-socio-economic care is important to prevent suicide of evacuees.
