核灾难后中期心理健康风险认知等预测因素仍然未知。本研究的目的是探讨 2011 年日本福岛第一核电站灾难后基线和中期心理健康状况中感知的辐射风险与其他因素之间的关联。 2012年1月和2013年1月进行了邮寄问卷调查。使用K6量表评估心理健康状况。两年内的心理困扰分为以下四组：慢性、恢复、抵抗或恶化。大多数参与者（80.3%）对灾难有抵抗力。研究发现，女性对直接影响的辐射风险认知与病情恶化的群体之间存在正相关。基线创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）或精神疾病史预计在中期病程中属于慢性或恶化组。这些结果表明，那些认为自己的健康受到核灾难严重影响的撤离人员，女性中期心理健康状况不佳的风险更大。需要仔细评估核灾难后的风险认知，包括是否存在创伤后应激障碍或精神疾病史，以采取适当的干预措施。
Predictive factors including risk perception for mid-term mental health after a nuclear disaster remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between perceived radiation risk and other factors at baseline and mid-term mental health after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of 2011 in Japan. A mail-based questionnaire survey was conducted in January 2012 and January 2013. Mental health status was assessed using the K6 scale. Psychological distress over the 2-year period was categorized into the following four groups: chronic, recovered, resistant, or worsened. Most participants (80.3%) were resistant to the disaster. A positive association was found between the radiation risk perception regarding immediate effects and the worsened group in women. Baseline post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or a history of psychiatric disease predicted being in the chronic or worsened group in mid-term course. These results suggest that evacuees who believed that their health was substantially affected by the nuclear disaster were at an increased risk of having poor mid-term mental health in women. Careful assessment of risk perception after a nuclear disaster, including the presence of PTSD or a history of psychiatric disease, is needed for appropriate interventions.
