Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to reduce the risk of onset/exacerbation of heart failure in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, we devised a nursing support model and reviewed the model using a quantitative evaluation index. We performed a subjective assessment based on evaluation of the autonomic nerve, analysis of sleep-wake rhythms, quantitative evaluation of oxidative stress levels, and self-administered questionnaire surveys to observe chronological changes and features. We devised an educational program utilizing face-to-face interviews with the purpose of preventing risks of heart failure. We provided support at one, two, three, and six months after the conclusion of the study and monitored the effects one year later. We also formulated the educational content for professional nursing training.
