| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A comparison of quality of life between the group of children of former leprosy patients and the general group as a whole showed that the children of former patients had significantly lower scores in physical health, friends (p<.01), and total quality of life scores (p<.01). For elementary school students, there were no significant differences between the group of children of former patients and the general group. For middle school students, significant differences were found in physical health (p<.05) and total quality of life scores (p<.01), with the children of former patients having significantly lower scores. For high school students, significant differences were found in physical health and school life. Physical health was significantly higher in the general group (p<.01), and school life was significantly higher in the children of former patients (p<.01).

本研究は「親が特定の病気を抱えている場合、子どもにどのような影響を与えるのか」という点についての解明を目指した。この研究では、ハンセン病という社会的偏見を伴いやすい疾病を扱っているが、元ハンセン病患者の親を持つ子どもたちの場合、一般群の子どもたちと比較して、成長するにつれてQOLが低くなる傾向がみられた。しかし、元患者の子どもたち（高校生）の場合、精神的外傷後成長（PTG）に相当する事例もみられ、学業面で秀でた結果を残している子どもの存在が明らかとなった。偏見を持たれやすい疾病を抱えた家族の子どもの場合、健康上および社会生活上のサポートの必要性がこの研究から導き出された。
