Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop a life-course approach-based program to support the purpose of life for elderly dementia people with spiritual pain, focusing on their lost way of life. First, we validated a program that can analyze and predict a person's way of life and values by mutual analysis of the elderly person with dementia's life events and narratives of subjective experiences from their socio-historical values and transitions. Next, we implemented the program with improved feasibility accuracy and evaluated its effectiveness in care practice. Results showed that the program was effective in the multilayer baseline method of a single-case experimental design with behavioral observation of nurses/caregivers' caregiving burden, positive affirmation and reduction of behavioral psychological symptoms and changes in living behaviors of elderly people with dementia.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

我が国の認知症高齢者を取り巻く社会情勢は厳しく、老々介護、介護職員の離職などによりケアの質をあげ、地域生活が継続できるよう公的支援が導入されている。ゆえに、認知症高齢者が自分らしく地域で生きていく足掛かりとなる生きがい支援プログラムの開発は重要な意義がある。個人が生きてきた中から得た本来の生き方や価値観をできる限り、生活の中に実現する生きがい支援によって老人福祉施設で生活する認知症高齢者への効果を認めていることから、プログラム開発は、認知症高齢者の意味のある生活を継続する可能性が高い。また、同時に、提供されるケアの質の向上も実現される。
