我们的目的是（1）描述东日本大地震（GEJE）七年零七个月后福岛县老年居民的主观幸福感（SWB），并研究搬迁到修复公共住房（RPH）对SWB、社会资本和健康指标的影响； (2)调查社会资本与主观幸福感之间的关联。通过问卷调查收集 RPH 和非 RPH 居民（>= 65 岁）的数据。受访者的主观幸福感是通过日本版世界卫生组织五项福祉指数收集的。此外，还收集了居民的社会资本（信任、互惠和参与）、体力活动水平、社交网络、功能健康、慢性病史和人口统计数据。我们分析了来自 RPH 的 101 份回复（有效回复率：约 34%）和来自非 RPH 居民的 158 份回复（有效回复率：53%）。与非 RPH 居民相比，RPH 居民的 SWB 较低，但没有统计学意义。 GEJE 后，老年 RPH 居民可能会表现出较低的社会资本和健康指标。研究发现，不信任与 RPH 居民的主观幸福感较低呈正相关。未来的研究应检验支持增强老年 RPH 居民信任的有效性，例如，科学家（包括医疗专业人员）参与风险沟通以促进 SWB。
We aimed to (1) describe the subjective well-being (SWB) of older residents in Fukushima Prefecture seven years and seven months after the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) and examine the effect of relocation to the restoration public housing (RPH) on SWB, social capital, and health indicators; and (2) investigate the association between social capital and SWB. Questionnaires were administered to collect data of both RPH and non-RPH residents (>= 65 years). Respondents' SWB was collected via the Japanese version of the World Health Organization Five Well-Being Index. Additionally, residents' social capital (trust, reciprocity, and participation), physical activity level, social network, functional health, history of chronic disease, and demographic data were collected. We analyzed 101 responses (valid response rate: approximately 34%) from RPH and 158 (53%) from non-RPH residents. SWB was lower in RPH compared to non-RPH residents but not statistically significant. Older RPH residents may demonstrate lower social capital and health indicators after the GEJE. Mistrust was found to be positively associated with low SWB in RPH residents. Future studies should examine the effectiveness of support for enhancing the trust of older RPH residents regarding, for example, the involvement of scientists-including medical professionals-in risk communications in promoting SWB.
