Outline of Final Research Achievements

[Insights] such as "difficulty in securing toilets outside the home," "need to cope with illness on a daily basis," and " the need for infection control measures" affect the [behavior] of [efforts to maintain daily life on a daily basis]. Patients also implemented [actions] of [efforts to maintain daily life after a disaster] after the occurrence of a natural disaster. Patients gained new situations and new insights through these actions. Then, they took [further actions] of "switching to the supportive side" [actions]. By practicing effort behaviors to maintain their daily lives, they strengthened their previous practice behaviors and deepened their insights. Whether before or after a disaster, supporting patients in their efforts to maintain their daily routines reinforces the process of maintaining their lives in a self-managed manner.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

自然災害を体験した炎症性腸疾患患者が自己管理しながら生活を維持するプロセスを分析し、14概念、2カテゴリーを生成した。
【日頃から日常生活を維持する努力】【災害発生後に日常生活を維持する努力】の2カテゴリーに属する〈ピアや専門職から情報収集〉〈体調把握、持病を悪化させない予防的行動〉ほか計5概念の行動を支援することで、疾患の悪化予防につながる行動が強化され、原疾患の悪化を防ぐことが期待できる。また、これらの行動を支援することで患者が〈支援する側への転換〉というさらなる行動をとる可能性がある。災害の際、ピアとして支援者になれる患者が増えることで、より効果的な支援につながることが期待できる。
