Outline of Final Research Achievements

Rejection of others’s care is the obstacle for the socialization of children with severe motor and intellectual disabilities who live with their family. In our study, we investigated the care offered by nurses to hospitalized children with severe motor and intellectual disabilities with the following two findings- it is critical to give advice to release mothers from their sense of guilty putting their kids in hospitals. Another one is, it’s important to give the same care to children with severe motor and intellectual disabilities as that from their mother while still look for other ways. It’s believed that children with severe motor and intellectual disabilities ’s social area expands when they receive care from others. Besides, it’s considered that mothers are able to attain children raising skills through the experience of conveying to others.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

重症児のケアは個別性が高く、母親の流儀以外を拒む事例をよく見かける。しかし、重症児に対する医療管理の進歩により成人期以降も在宅での生活が続くことを考えると、ある程度多彩なケア方法を受け入れることができれば、重症児とその家族にとって生活範囲が広がり、人との関係も豊かになると考える。
