| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research was to clarify the effect of an aphasia education program (AEP) on the aphasia proficiency level, communication self-efficacy, and mental health of care workers. Forty-six care workers participated in this study, which examined the effectiveness of educational intervention using an AEP. The Aphasia Knowledge Test-20, the Communication Self-Efficacy Scale, the Aphasia-Burden Scale, the WHO-5, and a descriptive questionnaire were used as outcome measures.The subjects’ degree of aphasia proficiency improved significantly after the intervention. The score for the sub-item “Consideration of the speech environment” of the Communication Self-Efficacy Scale also improved significantly. The AEP educational intervention for care workers increased the subjects’ aphasia proficiency level and contributed to an improved self-efficacy concerning consideration of the PWA speech environment.
