Outline of Final Research Achievements

To better understand sustainable activities provided by community organizations to promote healthy communities in a super-aging society, we identified methods that enable the next generation to participate in community organizations, factors necessary to establish sustainable activities provided by community organizations, and approaches to provide organized support for these activities from the perspectives of existing and practical knowledge.
A literature review identified 41 factors affecting activities and 27 support methods. Additionally, interviews with community organization members and public health nurses revealed 13 factors influencing the sustainability of activities, 7 methods facilitating next-generation participation, and 8 support methods for community organization activities, which are not documented in existing literature.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

公衆衛生看護において、住民組織活動への支援方法は、実践知として存在しているものの、理論化が進んでいないのが現状であった。また、超高齢社会における活動の持続可能性は大きな課題であった。本研究によって、既知見と実践知の両側面から住民組織活動支援方法を統合でき、活動の持続可能性を左右する要因と活動を担う次世代参加の仕組みについて新たな知見を得た。実践への応用が今後の課題である。
