Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study describes the development and evaluation of the Comprehensive Stress Response Inventory (CSI), and mental health care in affected areas. The CSI identifies four factors of stress response and is composed of 25 items in total. Three factors are each categorized into “anxiety/tense,” “displeasure/anger” and “autonomic symptoms” and considered to describe as the general-stress response. The other factor is considered as a “specific stress response to a disaster”. It was shown that the CSI have sufficient reliability and validity as a scale for measuring stress responses multifactorially with the minimum number of items. We mainly discussed two themes about point of attention in mental health care for local government workers at a natural disaster and points of attention in assessment of PTSD-like response.
