| Research Abstract |
Purpose : 1 To make "homebound" screening scale measured from the frequency of going out and to examine reliability and validity. 2 To make intervention program offering the health information and Life Review for the "homebound" elderly people and to examine validity. 3 To evaluate dementia prevention program in relation to "homebound" prevention.
Subject and methods : 1 All of the residents except for Long-term care insurance users who are 70 years or older in a district in a City, Fukushima Prefecture (822 people in 2001 and 590 people 2002). Reliability is evaluated by the parallel test method. Validity is examined as sensitivity and specificity to the items which relates to "homebound". 2 64 people except for the person with the dementia, hearing difficulty from 74 people judged as "homebound" in 2001. They were randomly divided into two groups of the intervention group and the control group. Intervention composed of a total six times visit once a week. 3 The elderly people of 65 years old and over participating a health check-up conducted by a town in Ishikawa Prefecture. 466 responded to a questionnaire survey.
Result : 1 Correlation coefficient of "homebound" screening scale with the MHW's "a criteria for evaluating the independence-degree of disabled elderly in performing activities of daily living" was 0.367 (p< .01). The sensitivity ranged from 30.3% to 60.9%, whereas the ranges of validity were from 79.6% to 91.9%. The scale can be thought to be useful. 2 Maintenance or improvement in motor fitness scale was observed in the intervention group. However, "homebound" condition was not solved by our intervention. Validity of this program for "homebound" elderly people was suggested. 3 Relation between "homebound" condition and memory disturbance was found. It will be important to make a strategy including "homebound" prevention and prevention of dementia from now on.
