Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study aimed to develop a scale to quantify self-efficacy of ability to perform housework despite experiencing various sequelae and difficulties after stroke. We collected item pools through interviews with stroke survivors and a literature review, and collected items measuring self-efficacy for housework. Through these investigations, the following items were generated as scale items: "I am confident to do housework even when I have physical pain," "I am confident to do housework even when I have paralysis in my hands," and "I am confident to do housework even when I am tired. The reliability and validity of the scale should be further examined by conducting more analyses in the future.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果は，家事に対する自己効力感を定量化する評価法の完成の鍵となる尺度原案を作成したことである．脳卒中を発症した方々の家事の再開や自立には，自己効力感が影響することが経験的にも知られていた．しかしながら，家事に対する自己効力感を定量的に測定する手段はなく，臨床家の勘や推測に頼る状況にあった．本研究はこうした状況を打開し，根拠に基づく実践に寄与するものである．
