Outline of Final Research Achievements

We made an educational video to promote awareness of cognitive impairment due to acquired brain injury (ABI) and to foster social participation amongst those with this condition; we then considered the effects of the video. First, we gave the Tokyo Higher Brain Dysfunction Council a survey with questions regarding awareness, professional insights, difficulties faced by those with cognitive impairment, and helpful resources. Using the results of the survey, we created a video explaining cognitive impairment due to ABI, methods of dealing with the condition, and ways of seeking support. The actors in the video were real people with cognitive impairment and members of their support system. We then considered the effects of the video at medical institutions, Tokyo Higher Brain Function Association member organizations, and independent and functional training facilities.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

高次脳機能障害者と家族の障害の自覚，困りごとの変化，有益な支援について，高次脳機能障害者と家族の傾向や違いが明らかになった．また自由記述回答から社会参加の障壁として制度のわかりにくさが指摘されており，支援の制度をわかりやすくすることが喫緊の課題と考えられる．本研究で作成された教育用動画「高次脳機能障害者の社会参加を促進するために」を病院，自立訓練施設，就労サービス事業所，相談支援事業所など，多くの支援の場所で当事者家族の教育，支援者の教育，地域生活支援に広く活用することにより，高次脳機能障害者の社会参加を促進することができると考えられる．https://youtu.be/9RBeZ_AQuCo
