This study examined radiation-related worry, coping, and psychological distress among residents exposed to contaminated buildings in Taiwan, and tested the mediating roles of approach and avoidant coping. Methods: a cross-sectional survey (2022\u20132023) recruited 268 residents with prior exposure. Radiation-related worry, coping strategies, and psychological distress were assessed using validated scales. Correlation and multiple regression analyses evaluated associations and mediation. Results: overall worry and distress were low, yet they were modestly but significantly correlated (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .207,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .01). Approach coping partially mediated the relationship between worry and distress, and was also directly associated with higher distress (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.158,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .01). Avoidant coping was positively associated with distress (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.247,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .01) but was not significantly related to worry, and thus did not serve as a mediator. Conclusions: even decades later, radiation-related worry remains positively associated with psychological distress. Coping strategies appear to play complex roles: approach coping may be linked to higher distress in uncontrollable contexts, while avoidant coping is independently associated with distress. In long-term, low-dose radiation exposure contexts, interventions focusing on managing excessive engagement and recalibrating active coping strategies may help individuals to achieve better psychological adjustment.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6498\/ae7b45","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,10]],"date-time":"2026-06-10T22:48:31Z","timestamp":1781131711000},"page":"031507","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Worry, coping, and psychological distress under low-dose ionizing radiation exposure: long-term psychological impact among residents of radiation-contaminated buildings"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Bo-Jun","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chung Shan Medical University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ren-Hau","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chung Shan Medical University"},{"name":"Chung Shan Medical University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2501-9931","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Shu-Ling","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chung Shan Medical University"},{"name":"Chung Shan Medical University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Feng-Cheng","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Chung Hsing University"},{"name":"Changhua Christian Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"jrpae7b45bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"467","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291707001353","type":"journal-article","volume":"38","author":"Neria","year":"2008","journal-title":"Psychol.
