Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was conducted to elucidate the caregiving-related needs of family caregivers looking after an elderly person with dementia. Caregiving-related needs were classified into six categories and their relationship with “care capacity” was elucidated. Items with a great need for professional medical and/or welfare support included medical treatment, medication guidance, physical observations, guidance on how to provide end-of-life care, and oral care. These caregiving-related needs were strongly affected by caregiving knowledge. A program of workshops for family caregivers was therefore held in collaboration with professionals from different disciplines over a four-year period to provide knowledge and build face-to-face relationships. Questionnaires and care capacity evaluations administered at each workshop revealed the efficacy of this care capacity acquisition support program provided through cooperation among different professionals.
