| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of "wandering" in elderly people with Alzheimer's disease. The method of research was a qualitative study, and the talk of caregivers and families with Alzheimer's disease was used as data. It was created and used for analysis of information related to the "wandering" of elderly people with dementia.
As a result, "wandering" of the elderly with dementia had the purpose such as going for a walk and work. It is necessary to understand the meaning of the behavior and related factors such as the progress of dementia and the background of life.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
高齢化に伴う身体状態の悪化は一人歩きの頻度や範囲を縮小させるが、本人の一人歩きへの希望（目的）は残っていることから、身体状態を考慮した認知症高齢者の一人歩きの目的に沿ったケアの必要性が示唆された。また、認知症の進行や生活背景などの関連要因とともに行動の意味を捉えたケアについて、認知症高齢者の世界に応じた看護を検討していくことの必要性が明らかとなった。
