Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research was to clarify the issues necessary for mental care and support for supporters in the clinical disaster site by means of participatory action research and design thinking methods that repeatedly visit and survey the site continuously. In 2019, we conducted disaster research and mental care support for the 2019 East Japan Typhoon, and attempted to elucidate the psychological recovery effects of counseling and touch care. In 2020, we held an online international symposium on "Child-Centered Preschool Education for Sustainable Development" and discussed "children's rights." In 2021, we developed a disaster prevention education program for childcare workers and confirmed that it is training to learn the importance of life.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、災害直後の臨床現場における心のケアと支援者支援に必要な課題を継続的に現地視察と調査を繰り返すことで、保育者養成に応用可能な「命の大切さ」を学ぶことのできる防災教育プログラムを開発した点で社会的意義は大きい。また、保育者が普段から愛着形成のために用いるタッチケアの脳内メカニズムを解明した点で学術的な意義は深い。
