| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ハンセン病元患者を親に持つことが子どもたちのQOLにどう影響を与えるかという点についての先行研究はほとんどみられなかった。本研究を実施した結果、元患者の子どもたちは何らかの身体的・精神的な脆弱性（vulnerability）を抱えていること、その脆弱性は発達段階に応じて変化し、支援が必要な状態であることが明らかとなった。子どもはどの社会においても置かれた環境によってその資質の向上やQOLが変化しうる。この研究結果は元患者の子どもたちに限らず、社会的不利な立場に置かれている子どもたちへの支援を構築する上での基礎的な資料となり得る。
