Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study conducted a conceptual analysis in the articles published in Japan. The results show that in the medical field in Japan, Ohen is a process followed by health professionals to support persons who continue to explore how to live with health problems. In this process, health professionals feel ‘empathy towards the difficulty of living in ways preferred by a person.’ Based on the empathy, they ‘Mikata-ni-naru (become a supporter for a person) so that the person can live in ways the person likes, and then try new activities’ resulting in ‘enriching the own identity as a health professional when seeing the person (patient) living as that person prefers’. The results of surveys of supporters, and interviews with the parents with mental disorders and their supporters, largely supported the results of the conceptual analysis, and showed that Ohen is a concept that contributes to the creation of a person-centered approach to parents with mental disorders.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	医療分野における応援は，生き方を模索する健康課題をもつ人を対象に,その人らしさを大切にしたいと願う医療者が新たな活動を実践すること,誰もが参加できる応援団というネットワークを形成することを助け,支援の拡充に寄与する概念であることが明らかになった.一般語であった応援を,精神障害を持つ親へのアプローチを創出する概念として記述することができた.日本人のもつ応援の実践知を支援システムへ包含できる可能性があり,誰もが自分らしく生きることを問われる少子高齢社会においても,日本独自の互恵的な支援パラダイムとなりうると考えられた.
