“…This cross-sectional study used a 49-item self-administered questionnaire. This questionnaire requested information regarding the presence or absence of diagnosed diseases, treatment status, mental health risks [ 7 ], living conditions, social relationships and socioeconomic factors related to COVID-19. Apart from the regular survey conducted by the municipality, this survey was carried out in collaboration with the university to acquire further detailed information before the 5-year commemoration of the disaster.…”

“…Subsequently, most of the affected Kumamoto City residents had moved into permanent housing by 2020. However, moving to permanent housing did not warrant easy living free from health concerns [ 7 ]. Particular attention should be paid to the risk of hypertension because hypertension-related diseases may develop immediately after a disaster.…”

Survivors of the Kumamoto earthquake of 2016 experienced the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak while carrying additional burdens that might bring inadequate coping. This cross-sectional survey aimed to identify untreated and interrupted consultations among those with hypertension and related factors and to identify the disaster’s long-term effects. Of the 19,212 earthquake survivors who had moved to permanent housing, 7367 (4196 women and 3171 men, mean age 61.8 ± 17.3 years) completed a self-administered questionnaire. The prevalence of hypertension was 41.4%. The results of the logistic regression analysis with the significant independent variables in the bivariate analysis were: reduced income due to COVID-19 (AOR = 3.23, 95%CI = 2.27–4.58) and poor self-rated health (AOR = 2.49, 95%CI = 1.72–3.61) were associated with a risk of untreated or discontinued treatment. Moreover, living in rental, public or restoration public housing was also significantly associated with a higher risk of hypertension noncompliance (AOR = 1.92, 95%CI = 1.20–3.07; AOR = 2.47, 95%CI = 1.38–4.42; AOR = 4.12, 95%CI = 1.14–14.90). These results suggest that changes due to COVID-19, the extent of self-rated health and the type of permanent housing influence the hypertension consulting behaviour of earthquake survivors during recovery. It is crucial to implement long-term public support for the mental health, income and housing concerns of the survivors.

“…The results of Kumpula et al (24) demonstrated that both EA and PD exert unique in uences as risk factors for PTSS after an event that is potentially traumatic. Different studies report increased or decreased psychological problems after earthquakes (25,26,27). The role of dissociation in substance use, depression, and suicidal thoughts (16, 17, 28) and the role of EA in substance use, depression and suicidal ideation (21,29,30) have been investigated in some studies.…”

Background: A significant portion of studies are mainly focused on the formation of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after earthquake trauma. This is while earthquakes are associated with a wide range of psychological reactions. In addition, other factors play a critical role in the formation of a diverse range of mental problems - personal characteristics, the severity of exposure to earthquake, and post-earthquake psychological distress (e.g., dissociation and avoidance). Therefore, This study investigates the relationship between earthquake intensity experience with substance use tendency, depression, and suicidal thoughts with the mediating role of peritraumatic dissociation and experiential avoidance. Methods: The participants consist of 323 individuals who had experienced an earthquake disaster four years ago. A set of valid and reliable questionnaires was administered to the participants. The gathered data were analyzed‌ using structural equation modeling in ‌SPSS Ver. 24 and LISREL Ver. 24. Results: The results showed that the intensity of the trauma experience is directly and significantly associated with depression symptoms, peritraumatic dissociation, and experiential avoidance. The experience of trauma had a significant indirect effect on the tendency to use substance through experimental avoidance. This is while the severity of the trauma experience did not directly correlate with substance use and suicidal thoughts. In addition, peritraumatic dissociation did not mediate the relationship between the severity of trauma experience with substance use, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Conclusions: It seems that both the experience (severity) of earthquake trauma and some reactions by individuals after a trauma experience can contribute to the prediction of some psychological consequences. These findings indicate the significance of experiential avoidance in predicting substance use tendencies. Nonetheless, to draw a clearer picture of peritraumatic dissociation, future research should focus on measuring this component more precisely and the inclusion of constructs that are naturally dissociative.

According to many studies, natural disasters and COVID-19 as stressors can lead people to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and addictive behavior [ 16 , 17 ].

Background As mobile phone use grows, so it brings benefits and risks. As an important part of adolescents healthy growth, resilience plays an indispensable role. Thus, it is important to identify when mobile phone use of an adolescent becomes an addiction. This study proposed to explore the effects of adolescent resilience on mobile phone addiction, and tested the mediating role of coping style and depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS) on phone addiction among 2,268 adolescents in the Henan province, China. Methods The adolescents were surveyed via an online questionnaire, a mobile phone addiction index (MPAI), a depression, anxiety, and stress scale with 21 items (DASS-21), the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents (RSCA), and the Simplified coping style questionnaire (SCSQ), and we used structural equation modeling to examine the correlations and moderation effects. All data analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0 and Amos 23.0. Results The results show that adolescences resilience were negatively related to negative coping, DASS, and mobile phone addiction; both coping style and DASS could mediate the relationship between adolescent resilience and mobile phone addiction among Chinese adolescents. The relationship between adolescent resilience and mobile phone addiction in Chinese adolescents was mediated by the chain of coping styles and DASS. Conclusions There is a negative relationship which exists between resilience and mobile phone addiction in this population. In addition, stress, anxiety, depression, and coping style significantly influence the risk of adolescent mobile phone addiction and play an intermediary role in Chinese adolescent resilience and mobile phone addiction.
