Abstract

We jointly organized a workshop on “Bridging environmental health research and disaster nursing practices and social innovations” at the 8th International Research Conference of the World Society of Disaster Nursing on November 30, 2024. Its aim was to foster a resilient relationship between environmental health researchers and health practitioners. In this paper, we present a summary of the presentations at the workshop and the challenging contexts they addressed. They covered securing safe water in Bangladesh, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination and a collaborative survey implemented with Japanese citizens, exacerbated health and social inequalities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, preventing exposure to hazardous dust during disasters, and safeguarding residents’ health and daily preparedness after a disaster.
