The medical records of service in disaster provided at a place other than a medical facility are defined as disaster medical records (DMRs). In this epidemiological study, to clarify medical need characteristics and trends after disaster, we analyzed the all anonymized DMRs of Minamisanriku Town that lost medical facilities in 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and its consequent tsunami. After screening of duplicated or irrelevant documents, there were 10,464 DMRs with 18,532 diagnoses from March 11 through May 13. From 34 diagnostic groups according to International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10, we integrated diagnostic groups into five modules that might require treatment concepts of different types: non-communicable disease (NCD), infectious disease, mental health issue, trauma, and maternal and child health (MCH). Age and sex distributions of the patients were similar to those of population before the disaster. The largest diagnostic module was NCD (68%), followed by infectious disease (21%), mental health issues (6%), trauma (4%), and MCH (0.2%). The age-specific rate of NCD exhibited a similar or suppressed level from that of nationwide survey, with higher rate of pollinosis among young population. Infectious disease increased in most age groups but there was no apparent outbreak because of early interventions. Sleep deprivation was twice as frequent in middle-aged women, compared with men. Trauma and MCH were less frequent, but each exhibited a unique time trend. Trauma onset was continuously recorded, while MCH visits were concentrated on a specific day. The medical need after disaster dynamically changes, and appropriate anticipatory countermeasures are necessary.

“…9,10 Following transient psychological distress, the risk of depression and insomnia were commonly increased. [11][12][13] The field of disaster dentistry could play supportive roles in management of postdisaster distress among disaster survivors, 14,15 as supported by the report of Kishi et al 13 indicating that serious psychological distress among GEJE survivors was strongly associated with lower oral health-related quality of life. Similarly, our previous reports indicated the increase in oral problems including subjective toothache among the GEJE survivors, with robust associations with psychological distress and insomnia.…”

Objectives The Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami cause large‐scale destruction in the north‐eastern coastal areas in Japan, and forced many survivors to relocate to prefabricated temporary housing, a typical emergency accommodation. Based on the hypothesis that higher toothache prevalence among the disaster survivors is associated with postdisaster distress, we determined the impact of temporary residential environment as potential stressor on the subjective toothache prevalence. Methods A repeated cross‐sectional health survey based on self‐reported questionnaire was conducted in 2776 disaster survivors, of whom 1446 participants underwent dental examination by dentists. Housing type was categorized into three groups including the same housing as before the earthquake, temporary housing and rented/new housing. The association of housing type with subjective toothache prevalence was examined using multivariate logistic regression analysis in all subjects and subgroup analysis in dental examination applicants. Stratified analysis by survey wave was applied with inclusion of covariates such as the socio‐demographic factors, and presence of insomnia and psychological distress. In subgroup analysis, presence of dental caries and gum problems in dental examination were included as factors of direct exposure to subjective toothache. Results In the first survey wave, the participants living in the temporary housing had significantly higher odds ratio (OR) for toothache prevalence compared to the participants living in the same housing (OR: 3.76, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.85‐7.65, P < 0.001); whereas in all other survey waves, there was no significant difference. Subgroup analysis of dental examination applicants confirmed the presence of significant association of subjective toothache prevalence in the temporary housing group alone (OR: 3.27, 95% CI: 1.38‐7.76, P = 0.004), but not in the rented/new housing group (OR: 1.50, 95% CI: 0.57‐3.91, P = 0.411), even after adjusting for covariates related to oral findings. Conclusion Temporary housing may be a factor to increase the risk of subjective toothache among disaster survivors only at postdisaster acute phase.

Sebuah Hasil systematic review tentang permasalahan kesehatan mental setelah gempa bumi di Jepang pada tahun 2011 menemukan bahwa kondisi PTSD sekitar 10-53,5% dialami oleh korban gempa, sementara kondisi depresi dialami oleh sekitar 3-43,7% korban gempa (Ando et al, 2017). Permasahan mental berupa trauma psikologis dan depresi pasca bencana alam semakin memperbuuj kondsi dan trauma yang telah terjadi sebelum bencana.…”

This research aims to find out the effectiveness of motivational interviewing on the reduction of depression in post-earthquake in the North Lombok Regency. This research using a quasi-experimental methodology with pre-post test design, where research is carried out in North Lombok using a purposive sampling technique. The study shows the effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing on the reduction of depression in victims of the post-earthquake intervention group. Natural disasters that occur such as earthquakes with the resulting impact can cause vulnerability to victims that influence physically and psychologically. Non-pharmacological interventions Motivational Interviewing (MI) in respondents with moderate and severe depression can reduce the level of depression in post-earthquake victims.
