| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A questionnaire survey was conducted with 700 family members accompanying patients visiting eight dental clinics for people with disabilities. The survey investigated the attributes and living environments of both respondents and the individuals with disabilities, as well as care systems, burden of care, and well-being indicators. Additionally, intraoral assessments of the individuals with disabilities and their behavioral adjustments during dental care were evaluated. Analysis of the questionnaire and oral examination results revealed associations between family attributes, support situations, oral environment, and several well-being indicators. These findings suggest that improvement of oral environment and support for families in dental settings have the potential to enhance family well-being. Furthermore, a field study in Denmark showed that family care and comprehensive dental care for people with disabilities contribute to family well-being.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
障害者や要介護高齢者への口腔ケアの取り組みに関する報告は数多くある．しかし，歯科医療でケイパビリティ・アプローチを実践した報告や，障害者の口腔とウェルビーイングに関する報告はいまだ見出せず，われわれの取り組みが国内外的にも先行している．したがって本研究は，障害者の歯科医療・口腔ケアおよび家族支援の関連を示したものであり，その成果は，歯科医療による障害のある人の口腔健康のみならず，障害のある人と家族のウェルビーイング向上ならびに生活向上に貢献すると考える．
