Outline of Final Research Achievements

As a consequence of the longitudinal examination towards psychological changes of the disaster victims from the early phase in recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, it revealed that the process of psychological recovery can be affected by the factors, such as stresses from living environment, changes in health status and community, and independence from disaster reliefs. It showed that it is significant to understand the features of psychological changes first then construct psychological support system aiming to confront complex factors such as daily life stress, social stress and necessity of predicting appropriate timing for intervention to victims, as cooperating with community members, which also help them be independent from disaster reliefs.
