Popis: ある私立幼稚園において火災が発生した。火災後,子どもたちに火を怖がることやおびえて目を覚ますことなどのストレス反応が出現したため,親は不安となり,子どもの安全を脅かした幼稚園に対し,不信感を募らせた。そこで,筆者はその幼稚園の依頼により火災後の心のケアについての支援を行った。親に対してグループ・カウンセリングを,教師に対しては,情緒的に不安定となっている子どもへのかかわり方について助言をした。火災後,1ヶ月頃より子どもの不安行動や退行行動が目立たなくなるにつれ,親の心の動揺も減少した。今後,災害や事故などが保育の場で起きた際には,子どもの心のケアを含めた支援がスムーズにしかも速やかになされることを願いたい。そのために支援体制づくりや教員・職員研修などの実現を望みたい。
There was a fire at a private preschool. Some children at the preschool, after that fire, showed several stress responses that they were afraid of fire unnaturally, and/or woke up at times in fear of the fire in the middle of the night, and so on. For those reasons, the parents of those children were worried about them so much and raised distrust of the preschool, which was considered as a threat of the safety to their children. I, therefore, offered mental health care to their parents and the teachers working at the preschool. I provided the parents with group counseling, and advised the teachers how to deal with those emotionally disturbed children. About a month after the fire incident, however, the children's regression behavior was getting weaker, and so were their parents' worries and anxieties. If a disaster or an accident should break out a preschool, it would be recommended that the support for the children including mental health care should be carried out in a smooth and prompt manner. To realize this goal, I long for setting up a support system for the mentally disturbed children and providing the teachers with the guidance on variety issues including mental health care and conflict management, etc.
