| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
DEOSは認知症高齢者の日常生活を評価する客観的評価スケールであり、本研究ではその特徴を理解してどのような使用方法が有意義なのかを検討した。本研究結果において、DEOSは認知症高齢者のその人らしさや本人の強みや好みといったポジティブなところを活かしながらケアすることでDEOSの得点が上昇している。これらのことは、本人のWell-Being（良い状態）を高めるだけでなく家族や介護者の介護負担の軽減の一助となることが期待できる。今後は、臨床や在宅でのDEOSの具体的活用方法について広く紹介していく予定である。
