Aim: The eruption of Mount Merapi in Indonesia caused losses, stress, and psychological distress for relocated survivors. Meaning in life is reported to be associated with mental health. This study aimed to investigate the associations among loss, stress related to changes in daily life, meaning in life, and mental health of the relocated survivors. Methods: A cross-sectional study using convenience sampling was conducted in two relocation areas with people from the most damaged villages. Losses, stress related to changes in daily life, mental health, and meaning in life were assessed using the losses questionnaire, the stress related to changes in daily life questionnaire, the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and the Life Attitude Profile-Revised Questionnaire (LAP-R). The Mann–Whitney U-test, Kruskal–Wallis test, Spearman’s rank test and hierarchical multiple regression were performed for data analysis. Results: Respondents included 172 women and 24 men (mean age = 40.0 years). Nearly one-third of respondents scored seven or more in the SRQ-20, suggesting possible mental health problems. Meaning in life was negatively correlated with stress related to changes in daily life (rs= 10.281, p < 0.001) and mental health problems (rs= 10.259, p < 0.01). However, meaning in life did not significantly contribute to mental health problems after adjusting for loss and stress related to changes in daily life (¢ = 10.092, p = 0.190). Conclusions: Meaning in life is negatively correlated with mental health problems and stress related to changes in daily life. Support to help the survivors find meaning in life may alleviate psychological distress related to relocation stress.
目的:印度尼西亚默拉皮火山喷发给重新安置的幸存者造成了损失、压力和心理困扰。据报道，生活的意义与心理健康有关。本研究旨在探讨搬迁幸存者的损失、与日常生活变化相关的压力、生活意义和心理健康之间的关系。方法:采用方便抽样的方法，在两个受灾最严重的村庄进行了横断面研究。采用失落问卷、日常生活变化压力问卷、自我报告问卷(SRQ-20)和生活态度修正问卷(LAP-R)评估失落、日常生活变化压力、心理健康和生活意义。采用Mann-Whitney u检验、Kruskal-Wallis检验、Spearman秩检验和分层多元回归进行数据分析。结果:调查对象女性172人，男性24人(平均年龄40.0岁)。近三分之一的受访者在SRQ-20测试中得分在7分以上，这表明他们可能存在心理健康问题。生活意义与压力相关的日常生活变化(rs= 10.281, p < 0.001)和心理健康问题(rs= 10.259, p < 0.01)呈负相关。然而，在调整了与日常生活变化相关的损失和压力后，生活意义对心理健康问题的影响并不显著(¢= 10.092,p = 0.190)。结论:生活意义与日常生活变化相关的心理健康问题和压力呈负相关。帮助幸存者找到生活意义的支持可能会减轻与搬迁压力相关的心理困扰。

Aim: This study identi fi ed issues associated with disaster prevention measures in three Educational Nursing Institutions (ENIs) a ff ected by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. Methods: Participants were eight ENI nursing faculty members in the Tohoku region. A qualitative descriptive methodology was utilized using semi-structured interviews. The focus was on the successful aspects of the participants ’ actions following the disaster. Disaster prevention issues that were identi fi ed were divided into two categories: rehabilitation period and emergency conditions. Categories were classi fi ed using the narratives of the eight participants. Results: Five issues identi fi ed in the rehabilitation period were: (1) clari fi cation of the role of schools in the area; (2) communication methods at the time of disaster were not established; (3) emergency equipments were insu ffi cient; (4) the need to review content of disaster prevention training; and (5) failure to utilize the disaster prevention manual adequately. Six issues mentioned in the emergency conditions are as follows: (1) the roles of faculty and sta ff were not clari fi ed; (2) command and control systems were underdeveloped; (3) evacuation methods were not de fi ned; (4) the safety con fi rmation system was incomplete; (5) the role of students was unclear due to a lack of infrastructure to adequately support them; and (6) it was di ffi cult to care for the students. Conclusions: Educational Nursing Institutes should be aware that their institutions could be utilized as evacuation centers following disasters, despite not being designated as such in the regional disaster prevention plan. As a result, ENIs should be prepared to ful fi ll their role in assisting survivors. In addition, disaster prevention plan should equally balance the business continuity plans for disasters, thus ensuring “ student safety and health management ” . Also, “ measures to resume and continue education ” are necessary.

Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the health effect on and adaptation of the elderly affected by floods in the Lat Krabang District, Bangkok, Thailand in 2011. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. Data were collected from 290 elderly participants who were affected by the floods using questionnaires. Results: The elderly participants had previous experience with flooding, but the massive flooding in 2011 was the most severe compared to any other experiences in the past. Physical health effects included muscle pain (35.2%), athlete’s foot (28.3%), and skin rash (23.1%). The psychological health effects (24.3%) encountered included insomnia, constant stress and tension, attention deficit, and discontentment. Most elderly (89.3%) decided not to relocate thinking they could still live at home, but they were concerned about the safety of their property. In regards to preparation for the flood, they prepared consumer goods, medication, and emergency kits. In addition, they kept abreast with news on television and public announcements in the community. They also helped clear the drainage system and prepared contact information of children, relatives, and government offices in case they needed assistance. Finally, to reduce possible damage to the property, they moved their belongings to high places, built sandbag walls, raised the house level, and prepared a water pump. Conclusion: The 2011 Thailand floods had adverse effects on physical and psychological health of the elderly people. To ensure better management for this vulnerable group, plans to respond to possible disasters need to be devised by relevant agencies to reduce flood-related health impacts.

Aim: This study aimed to identify the level of knowledge and perceived skills regarding health-related fl ood management among 380 village health volunteers (VHVs) living in fl ood-affected areas in southern Thailand. Methods: The self-report of Knowledge and Perceived Skill Questionnaires, which was developed based on the risk-reduction planning process of the Community-Based Disaster Risk Management framework, were provided by the VHVs. These two questionnaires were validated and tested for reliability, yielding a correlation coef fi cient of 0.70 for the Knowledge Questionnaire and 0.96 for the Perceived Skills Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. Results: The VHVs had a high level of knowledge and a moderate level of perceived skills regarding health-related fl ood management. Moreover, the area that the VHVs had the highest of both knowledge and skills was related to performing fi rst aid for Athlete ’ s foot care, whereas the area of the least knowledge was on assessing dwellers ’ perception of disaster preparedness, and the lowest skills was in the area of administering fi rst aid for a bone fracture. Conclusion: These fi ndings can be used as basic information for conducting appropriate disaster management programs to promote VHVs ’ knowledge and enhance skills, especially health risk management and training in a disaster management plan.

Aim: There is a growing trend globally to incorporate service-learning (SL) into disaster health education. Schools of nursing and other health professions have increasingly used SL to improve nursing students ’ knowledge of disaster health while simultaneously bolstering community capacity for disasters. To date, little is known about this topic in Japan, a disaster-prone country. This paper reports on current practices of SL in disaster nursing education in Japan. Methods: An exploratory qualitative pilot study was conducted using key informant interviews. Participants were recruited from a purposive sample of nurse educators in Japan. Five nurse educators were included in the study. Qualitative data collected from informant interviews were analyzed for themes using qualitative thematic analysis techniques. Results: Themes extracted from the data included: speci fi c SL activities performed; faculty involvement; perceived bene fi ts for nursing students and recipient communities; and challenges encountered. Participants described an increase in nursing students ’ disaster nursing knowledge; skills and abilities; a heightened interest in learning about disaster nursing; and increased awareness of their personal preparedness status and that of their community. Community members also bene fi tted from students ’ efforts. Conclusions: Results from this pilot study provide baseline knowledge regarding current practices and potential effect of SL disaster nursing education in Japan. Findings from this study may be used to serve as a foundation for further research on this topic. Information from this study may also be used to plan SL activities related to disaster nursing education.

Aim: This study aimed to clarify the factors in fl uencing disaster prevention awareness and their association with disaster preparedness among residents living in mountainous areas of Japan. Methods: An anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted with health examination participants in City A in August 2018. The survey items included basic attributes, disaster prevention awareness and related factors, and disaster preparedness. Descriptive statistics were performed on each item, followed by a t -test and multiple regression analysis. Results: In total, 113 (48.7%) valid responses were received. The mean total score on the Disaster Prevention Awareness Scale was 82.3, which was signi fi cantly higher than that found in a national survey ( p < 0.01). As a result of the multiple regression analysis, “ Number of years of residence ” and “ Experience participating in disaster prevention events ” were extracted as factors a ff ecting disaster awareness (R 2 = 0.222). Signi fi cant relationships ( p < 0.05) were found for all sub-factors except “ Be covered by earthquake insurance ” . Conclusion: The implementation rate of disaster prevention awareness and preparedness among residents living in mountainous areas of Japan was higher than that reported in a national survey. “ Number of years of residence ” and “ Experience participating in disaster prevention events ” were extracted as factors a ff ecting disaster awareness. In the context of preparedness, all items were related, except for “ Be covered by earthquake insurance ” , which is di ffi cult to address, even if disaster prevention awareness is high, because it represents an economic burden.

Aim: This paper examines the 1871 massacre against the Chinese people in Los Angeles, leading us to reconsider that massacre and relate it to the numerous hate crimes committed against Asian Americans today. Methods: The methods used were historical research and analysis of the social, cultural, and political contexts of the Asian Massacre in the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s. Results: Overall, the 1871 Anti-Chinese Massacre was a devastating event that resulted in multiple deaths. It provides a useful lens for comparing current acts of racism against Asians since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Conclusions: The United States has a long history of racist ideologies that have pushed social and political agendas to maintain power. From the grand jury ’ s failure to punish the murderers involved in the 1871 Chinese Massacre to political leaders posting racist tweets on social media in 2020, it is important to remember that hatred will always seek a public platform from which to spread.
