Outline of Final Research Achievements

The 37 items were extracted as social aspects at the community level that reflect the elderly residents' perception, considering the difference of the community environment through a literature review. And then, two factors: health-related knowledge and health-related behavior, were perceived as the significant disparities between urban and rural during the coronavirus disease 19(COVID-19) pandemic.
It suggests that understanding the social aspects of ecosystems in clinical settings, through interdisciplinary collaboration, is crucial for developing systematic community strategies for people's well-being life in medical, health, and welfare contexts.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ポスト・コロナ社会における今後の多様な人の健康生活に関わる社会的変化をふまえ、地域ケアのあり方を検討する上で、今後、どのような視点から捉え検討することがより求められるかについて、一つの示唆の提供に繋がったことは学術上の意義はあったのではないかと考える。また今後の人の安寧な健康生活(well-being healthy life)に繋がる研究のあり方を地域基盤の観点から検討したことは社会的意義もあったのではないかと考える。
