| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の意義は，認知症高齢者自身を研究協力者として参与観察を複数回行うことで，様々な示唆を得られたことである．認知症高齢者の精神的，身体的，社会的苦痛を包含する形で根本的なスピリチュアルペインとして表出されていた．①研究協力者自身の壮年期に獲得した能力や役割に近しい役割を，通所介護施設でも遂行していること，②壮年期までに獲得した感覚や質は，生活の中でも生かされており，それらの能力にサポートする側が気付くことが，お互いに尊重してケアを提供しあえる関係性に発展することが示唆されたこと，③障害されている脳の部位を検討したうえで，低下が著しくない機能維持の訓練が有用であることが考えられた．
