| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本邦では高齢化が進み、クローン病においても老年期の患者数は増加傾向にあるが、これまで老年期に焦点をあてた研究報告はない。指定難病であるクローン病は未だ完治は望めず、永続的な療養が必要となるため、長期的視点に基づいた老年期にある患者への支援の検討は重要で学術的意義がある。本研究では患者と看護師それぞれにインタビューを実施し、加齢や併存疾患による影響、残存機能を活かしたセルフケア支援など実践的かつ具体的で臨床で活用できる看護実践内容を明らかにしており社会的意義がある。
