| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study analyses the socio-psychological impacts on victims of the Fukushima nuclear disaster and establishes the social care model. As the result of the Great East Japan Earthquake on 11 March 2011, the meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant occurred with the subsequent distribution of radioactive substances. We performed large scale quantitative questionnaire survey every year after the disaster, also performed interview and fieldwork study. A high level of stress, including signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was found and it related to the psycho-socio and economic distresses. These collective sufferings are argued to be the result of ‘structural violence’. This violence destroyed the living environment and was exacerbated by government policies of return and compensation. Finally, the importance of collaboration between several professionality such as medical doctor, clinical psychologist, social worker, lawyer, and judicial scrivener was evaluated.
