Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

超高齢社会の進展に伴い我が国では慢性心不全(CHF)患者が増加している。CHF患者は入院を繰り返すことで様々な生活上の制限を受け安楽や精神的健康が徐々に低下していく。さらに、CHF患者において、しばしば睡眠時無呼吸(SA)がみられ、これも心不全急性増悪による再入院率を高める。また、SAは一般集団においてうつ病の発症など精神的健康にも悪影響を及ぼすことが示されている。しかし、多くのCHF患者はSA特有の症状を訴えないため見逃されている。現在、CHF患者のSAに対する適切な看護ケアに関しては世界的にも検討されておらず、本研究によって新たな看護ケアの創出が期待されている。
