Title: | Psychosocial and environmental distress resulting from a volcanic eruption: Study protocol | Contributor(s): | Warsini, Sri (author); Usher, Kim (author) ; Buettner, Petra (author); Mills, Jane (author); West, Caryn (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.colegn.2014.03.004 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/17944 | Abstract: | Aim: To examine the psychosocial and environmental distress resulting from the 2010 eruption of the Merapi volcano and explore the experience of living in an environment damaged by a volcanic eruption. Background: Natural disasters cause psychosocial responses in survivors. While volcanic eruptions are an example of a natural disaster, little is currently known about the psychosocial impact on survivors. Volcanic eruptions also cause degradation of the environment, which is linked to environmental distress. However, little is currently known of this phenomenon. Design: An explanatory mixed method study. Methods: The research will be divided into three phases. The first phase will involve instrument modification, translation and testing. The second phase will involve a survey to a larger sample using the modified and tested questionnaire. The third phase will involve the collection of interviews from a sub set of the same participants as the second phase. Discussion: Quantitative data will be analyzed to determine the extent of psychosocial and environmental distress experienced by the participants. Qualitative data will be analyzed to explain the variation among the participants. The results of the study will be used to develop strategies to support survivors in the future and to help ameliorate distress. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Collegian, 22(3), p. 325-331 | Publisher: | Elsevier BV | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 1876-7575 1322-7696 |
