| Research Abstract |
This study quantitatively conducted medium-to long-term evaluation of physical functioning and stress in elderly residents lived in temporary housing, and examined their lives during the period of admission to the temporary housing to 5 years after reconstruction in the community, using ethno nursing research methods. The passage of time after the disaster and seasons were considered to influence physical changes, particularly in women. There was no long-term change of the stress after reconstruction. To help elderly residents adapt to a new life, it is important to maintain their regional culture and behavioral patterns, and provide long-term interventions such as maintenance of physical strength, health care management, support for regaining independence, and cultural care during living in the temporary housing.
