2011年3月11日，日本东北部东北地区发生9.0级爱曼地震及随之而来的海啸。本研究的目的是观察疏散人员的一般健康、心理困扰、孤独感等健康状况随时间的变化。方法于2012年1月至3月(时间1)和2012年10月至12月(时间2)分别对临时住房居民进行问卷调查。有39%的被调查者自我报告总体健康状况较差，43.5%的被调查者的心理健康状况较差。此外，尽管参与社区活动的人数较多，但仍有较高比例的被调查者在第二次被撤离时感到孤立感。将有必要仔细监测它们，并从长期来看不断提供支持。
AimAn earthquake of magnitude 9.0 and accompanying tsunami struck the Tohoku region in northeast Japan on 11 March 2011. The purpose of this study was to observe evacuees' health status such as general health, psychological distress, and feeling of isolation over time.MethodsThe authors distributed a questionnaire survey to residents of temporary housing in January to March (time 1) and again in October to December of 2012 (time 2).ResultsTwo hundred respondents who filled out the questionnaire at both times were the subjects of this study. The self-reported general health in 39% and mental health status in 43.5% of the participants were poor at time 2. In addition, a higher percentage of participants felt a sense of isolation at time 2 even though more of the participants participated in community activities at that time.ConclusionThis result shows the evacuees' prolonged psychological distress and strengthening sense of isolation. It will be necessary to monitor them carefully and provide support continuously over the long term.
