Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to develop a loneliness reduction program and a loneliness assessment scale to prevent social isolation and reduce loneliness for mothers raising infants and toddlers living in urban communities. We conducted a literature review, an interview research (39 mothers, a total of 58 persons including public health nurses, midwives, staff of child-rearing support facilities, and commissioners for civilian children), and an anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey (1587 mothers of infants and toddlers). The validity and reliability of the short version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale 3rd Edition were demonstrated, and loneliness among mothers of infants and toddlers and factors related to loneliness were clarified. The literature and survey results were summarized and a proposal for a pilot program was developed. Collaboration with the local governments surveyed, we discussed and publicized child-rearing support programs based on the survey on loneliness.
