Outline of Final Research Achievements

Dementia is not a disease but a "condition" that interferes with daily life, and it is possible to lead daily life with appropriate interventions and environmental arrangements. The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of care that enhances motivation for living from the perspective of multimodal communication, and to generate evidence for high-quality care. Through the development and practical evaluation of an exercise intervention program on the subject of gait and posture improvement, which are the foundation of health, we formalized the care skills of professionals and realized the construction of content that can be deployed by care staff at their own sites based on their understanding of the essentials.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の最大の意義は，ケア現場において専門家が経験的・暗黙的に持つケアスキルを形式知化したことにある．健康寿命を延ばす礎となる歩行と姿勢の改善を題材に，極めて多くの認知症高齢者に有用な運動介入プログラムを具現化し，あらゆる現場で活用可能なコンテンツを提供できたことは，今後さまざまな認知症ケアスキルを形式知化する際の基盤となる成果である．さらに，題材とした歩行と姿勢の改善は子どもから高齢者まで多世代にとって有用であり，適用範囲の広い運動介入プログラムが構築できた意義も大きい．
