In Japan, there is an imminent threat of major earthquakes and floods. Children's health is increasingly at risk from climate-change-related disasters. The purpose of this study was to identify factors related to mothers' worries about the effects of evacuation on their children. Participants were mothers whose children attended a childcare center in one municipality in Ishikawa, Japan. A cross-sectional design was used. A questionnaire was developed based on previous studies, and it was used to conduct a survey. A total of 1298 individuals who provided valid data were included in the analysis. The following factors were related to mothers' worries about the effects of evacuation on their children: not having prepared a grab bag as a disaster risk reduction strategy, having no neighbors to help them in case of disaster, having children aged <3 years, and having children with allergies. The mothers of children <3 years old with allergies who are unprepared and have no social support are likely to worry about evacuating their children. Policymakers must be aware that the mothers of children aged <3 years and the mothers of children with allergies experience substantial concerns about the effects of evacuation on their children.
在日本，面临着大地震和洪水的严重威胁。儿童的健康越来越受到与气候变化相关的灾害的影响。本研究的目的是确定与母亲对疏散对子女影响的担忧有关的因素。参与者是其子女在日本石川县一个市的托儿所上学的母亲。采用了横断面设计。根据先前的研究制定了一份问卷，并使用该问卷进行了调查。共纳入了 1298 名提供有效数据的人进行分析。以下因素与母亲对疏散对子女影响的担忧有关：没有作为减轻灾害风险策略的应急包，在发生灾害时没有邻居帮助，有年龄 <3 岁的孩子，有过敏的孩子。没有准备和没有社会支持的 3 岁以下有过敏的孩子的母亲可能会担心疏散他们的孩子。决策者必须意识到，3 岁以下儿童的母亲和过敏儿童的母亲对疏散对子女的影响有很大的担忧。
