| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined the correlation between subjective perception of caregiving and caregiving activities of in-home caregivers of older adults with dementia, and considered methods of support for in-home caregivers based on both factors. Based on the results of a preliminary survey, 26 family caregivers providing care to older adults with dementia in their homes were surveyed. An interview survey using a questionnaire and measurement of biological data using appropriate equipment were carried out.
Although a correlation was not found between subjective caregiver burden and heart rate variability during caregiving activities, the results suggested that heart rate fluctuates before and after caregiving activities. These results suggest the importance of support based on objective biological data during caregiving activities in addition to the subjective perceptions of caregivers.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、認知症高齢者を在宅で介護している家族介護者の感じている介護負担感及び認識と介護行動による脈拍の変化の関係性を検討した。このことにより、家族介護者の脈拍、血圧等の生体データを評価することも必要である可能性が示され、これは学術的にも意義が高いと考えられる。また、家族介護者の健康維持を支援していくうえでも、介護行動が健康状態にどのように関係しているかを明らかにした試みは、社会的意義においても重要である。
