| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined the effects on users and staff at day services of facility staff creating an environment in which users can perform daily 'tasks' at the facility, such as cleaning desks and folding laundry. The results suggest the possibility of promoting communication between users and increasing their independence. In particular, users asked the staff, "Do you have anything to do?" This was also observed in a previous study, suggesting that the users came to recognise the facility as a place where they can do the activities they want to do, rather than a place where they receive services unilaterally.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
お仕事プログラムは，利用者間のコミュニケーションの促進，利用者の主体性を高めることが先行研究で示されていたが，このプログラムが他の施設でも実践可能であること，また実施されることで，本人の主体性を高める可能性が考えられた。
要介護高齢者を「サポートを受ける存在」としてとらえた実践・研究は数多く存在するが，要介護状態となった高齢者自身の社会的活動について注目する研究は少ないため，本人の日常生活上の「仕事」ができる環境を施設職員がつくり，支援することの有効性を示唆できたことは，利用者のQOLの向上に寄与する取り組みであったと考えられる。
