Prevalence and Risk Factors for Post-Traumatic Stress Reaction Among ResidentSurvivors of the Tsunami That Followed the Great East Japan Earthquake March 11 2011

摘要

ObjectiveThe Great East Japan Earthquake triggered a massive tsunami that devastated the coasts of northern Japan on March 11, 2011. Despite the large number of “resident survivors,” who have continued to reside on the upper floors of damaged houses, few studies have examined the mental health of these residents. We explored the prevalence and risk factors of post-traumatic stress reaction (PTSR) among resident survivors.
