| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An occupational identity questionnaire for community-living older adults requiring care was developed in this study. The content validity, face validity, structural validity, criterion-related validity, and internal consistency were examined according to COSMIN (COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments). This questionnaire is composed of three factors: “Sense of past self,” “Sense of present self and future expectations,” and “Satisfaction with the current circumstances.” The tool enables individuals to assess who they are and who they aspire to be in the future. Case studies based on this assessment provided information about the participant’s desired life. They were useful for setting goals that support specific activities and roles.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
高齢者が住み慣れた地域で自分らしい暮らしを続けるためには，支援者は高齢者がもつ日常生活や人生を反映した個別的なニーズを聴取する必要がある．本アセスメントは，そのような高齢者の生活行動の意識を聴取することを可能にするという点において，学術的な意義がある．そして，本アセスメントは，高齢者の活動と参加を支援するリハビリテーションサービスの提供に貢献することが期待され，社会的意義は大きいと考えられる．
