IMPACT OF EMERGENCY FOOD TEMPERATURE AND PRIVACY ON THE STRESS OF LIVING IN AN EVACUATION CENTER

This study investigated the impact of emergency food temperature variation andthe presence of privacyon stress with the aim of potentially reducing the stress of living in an evacuation center during large-scale disasters. Salivary amylase activity of the subjects was measured. Results showed no statistically significant impact on stress due to variations in the temperature of emergency food or privacy. However, the survey noted points for improvement, including experiment settings and relationships between subjects, which highlighted the need for future research and surveys. This study is expected to aid with initiatives that reduce stress in evacuation centershowever, more detailed condition settings are required in order to eliminate individual stress level differences.

本研究探讨了应急食品温度波动与隐私状况对压力水平的影响，旨在缓解大规模灾害发生时避难所内居住人员所承受的压力。研究测定了受试者的唾液淀粉酶活性。结果显示，应急食品温度波动或隐私状况未对受试者的压力水平产生具有统计学显著性的影响。不过，本次调研指出了若干可改进之处，包括实验设置与受试者间的互动关系，这凸显了后续开展相关研究与调研的必要性。本研究有望为降低避难所内人员压力的相关举措提供助力，但仍需设置更为精细的实验条件，以消除个体间的压力水平差异。
