Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study evaluated QOL of people with dementia across in-home and nursing home care settings, identified professional factors relating to level of QOL, and suggested a dementia care model for improvement of QOL among people with dementia. Results of the study showed that users of in-home care services had lower QOL compared to those of multiple services or group homes. The lower QOL was related to poor understanding of psychosocial interventions to challenging behaviour among care managers. Therefore, we developed a psychosocial dementia care programme to enhance a team-based plan-do-check-act cycle, and a training course for nursing and personal care staff. The results of RCT indicated the effectiveness of the programme.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究はケア環境に関わらず、長期療養を行う認知症の人のQOLを維持・向上する認知症ケアの提供に資するケアモデルを提示した。提案された認知症ケアモデルは職種や事業所・施設の種類を限定しない、また認知症に必ずしも特化していない様々な介護現場で適用可能性がある。ケアプログラムの開発と普及を通じて、認知症ケアを普遍的なケアとして展開することに貢献しうる。
