Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop a childcare support program focused on perspectives of mothers (or those who are in charge of) raising children with the most severely impaired physical and mental conditions at home. According to the results, it was revealed that there were 4 elements: “children”, “mothers”, “families” and “supporters” and that they required supports according to the shift timing in the local life and to the life stage of children. In addition, it was found important for the childcare support program to offer clinical decision-making skills for medical social workers, teamwork,partnership and the mentoring system.
