Outline of Final Research Achievements	A complex outpatient nursing support model for late-stage elderly cancer patients who go to a general hospital in the community allows them to maintain their lives while continuing cancer treatment and under the gradual deterioration of mental and physical functions associated with aging. It is a model that supports will be provided mainly by core nurses based on the 6 guidelines for support (assessment of physical and mental effects associated with decreased reserve capacity and cancer treatment, nursing practices related to continuation of outpatient treatment, cooperation and cooperation with other specialists that may be necessary, etc.). This is a model in which support is provided in collaboration with multiple occupations inside and outside the hospital using evaluation tools and recording forms. The feasibility and content validity of this model were confirmed by CNS and CN familiar with outpatient cancer nursing.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	わが国の高齢化率は世界に先行する状況であり、それに伴い増加し続けている後期高齢がん患者に対して、本研究により検証された地域の一般病院に通院する後期高齢がん患者への複合的な外来看護支援モデルを適用することにより、後期高齢がん患者が地域の一般病院で外来での医療を継続し生活する上で必要な医療従事者および多職種との関わりや、住み慣れた環境維持につながり、その人らしい生を全うできるエンドオブライフケアの一部にもなりえると考える。
