Furthermore, the structure of the characteristics of dementia cafes was clarified through quantitative research.

本研究で実施したプログラムを開発し実装したことにより、認知症の人と家族の診断後支援プログラムのモデルの独自の特徴と意義を提示することができた。本プログラムは、これまで別々に行われてきた、認知症の人と家族の支援を統合し小規模自治体でも汎用性が高く、かつ効果的な支援プログラムである。本研究で開発されたプログラムは、モデル事業の積み重ねと、その土地、文化、人口規模に合った診断後支援として多角的に検討を重ね実用的かつ効果的なプログラムとなった。その成果は、令和4年度地域支援事業で事業化された「認知症の人と家族への一体的支援プログラム」に援用されており、確かな社会的意義の高さを証明した。
