A new coronavirus pandemic broke out in 2020. As a countermeasure, cluster control based on active epidemiological surveys was undertaken under the jurisdiction of public health centers in Japan. However, as the number of infected people increased, the workload exceeded the processing capability of public health centers. In response to the national and prefectural government ’ s request to avoid functional failure due to overwork and understa ffi ng, university faculty members provided operational support to the public health center throughout the day and night. We would like to report the issues of inter-regional cooperation that emerged from our experience.

This paper delineates the key issues as highlighted at a speech made at the Health Emergency and Disaster Nursing (HEDN) Seminar on February 11th, 2021. The purpose of the discussions is to share disaster insights and identify key priority research areas towards Disaster Risk Reduction to know disaster nursing, and the research needed for the future global agenda, and which nursing may have already contributed, that way forward for understanding risk focused on capacity and vulnerability.

Aim: This study aimed to understand and discuss the support given to pregnant and postpartum women affected by disasters, by investigating the perspectives and resilience (the ability to cope, learn about, and overcome situations after a natural disaster) of women who experienced the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection and qualitative analysis was performed using the qualitative method originally developed by Jiro Kawakita (KJ method). Participants were recruited from the affected area 1.5 years after the earthquake. Four pregnant women and three postpartum women who lived in the affected area were interviewed. Using the interview data, transcripts were created, themes were extracted, and themes with similar contents were combined and summarized. Results: Five themes related to resilience were found: “supporting each other”; “confronting problems and afflictions”; “prioritizing children’s safety and security”; “taking care of any mental and physical health issues during pregnancy by myself ”; and “connecting with others and sharing my experiences”. These resiliencies were affected by multiple adversities. Four themes related to adversity were found: “I experienced difficult days”; “I was afraid of large tremors and aftershocks”; “My child/children and I experienced something unusual”; and “I evacuated to a shelter, but it was terrible”. Resilience toward adversity was promoted by interaction and directed toward the future. Conclusions: This study clarified the structure of resilience experienced by pregnant and postpartum women after a disaster. This knowledge can be used for the assessment and support of affected pregnant and postpartum women.

Aim: This paper examines the complexity of epidemics by addressing the multifaceted interaction of social meanings, biological forces, and collective public responses to the opioid epidemic and Opioid Use Disorder in the United States. Charles Rosenberg ’ s 1989 essay, “ What is an epidemic? ” is reconsidered using nursing as a lens. Methods: The methods used were historical research and analysis of the social, cultural, and political context of the opioid epidemic. Results: Medical and nursing personnel are in key positions to identify and treat those su ff ering from the opioid epidemic and Opioid Use Disorder as well as screen those at high risk. They can do so without placing the blame on personal misconduct and instead focus on treatment. Conclusion: Epidemics leave behind lessons that can either be forgotten or used to inform future practice. In the aftermath of an epidemic, the community is faced with creating meaning and dealing with related challenges.
