| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
After the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, support for the older adults who have continued to live in the affected areas was an urgent issue. In present study, the older adults who have continued to live in the areas affected participated in two programs that can be expected to rebuild their lives (a program focused on “activities and participation” aimed at supporting the challenges of daily living, and a program focused on “body functions and structures” aimed at improving motor function). As a result, the program focusing on “activity participation” was effective in the health-related quality of life of the affected the older adults. In addition, it has been found that it may lead to the optimization of the living environment and the improvement of physical functions.
The older adults affected by disaster need support that focuses on activities and participation.

本研究は，恒久住宅で生活する高齢者がプログラムの参加により解決できる生活課題の具体的な内容を明らかにした．生活課題を解決するための支援が明らかになれば，恒久住宅で生活する高齢者の閉じこもりや孤独死の予防に貢献できる可能性がある．災害大国である日本において，被災高齢者が震災後も住み慣れた地域で生活し続けるために，医療・保健の専門職が貢献できる領域を拡大するものといえる．
