| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to make clear the relationship between care worker burnout and the group living unit system for the elderly at nursing homes for dementia and to investigate the way to reduce such burnout. Therefore, this study investigates the way to maintain the group living unit system while minimizing burnout among care workers from two point of views. The first examines the fall in burnout rate after care worker relocation to group units from the traditional care system. The second evaluates the effect of advanced technique training on the provision of care. This study had two main results. The first is that the burnout rate decreased when caregivers relocated to group units from the traditional care system. The second result is that it is important to continue the advanced training for caregivers working at group living units to prevent renewed increase in care worker’s burnout. Furthermore, we need more research on overcoming psychological stresses.

現在、日本の介護現場では、人手不足が深刻な問題となっており、これが解消されなければ、利用者のQOLを高めることが明らかになっている個別介護を目的としたユニットケア体制が維持できなくなる可能性が高い。本研究は、ユニットケアにおける介護職員のストレスの特徴をバーンアウトの視点から明らかにして、ユニットケア研修による職員のストレス軽減の効果も確認できたため、これらの知見が、今後の介護現場でのユニットケア体制の維持に寄与できるものと確信している。
