Impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake followed by the nuclear power plant accident on the nursing students’ academic progress in Soma, Fukushima, Japan: a retrospective cohort study with questionnaire survey
This study highlights the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the following nuclear accident on nursing education. The elevated failure rates in the later peri-disaster period emphasize the challenges posed by continuing disaster phases. Thus, there is a need for intensified and tailored strategies in nursing education in disaster-affected regions.
