Outline of Research at the Start

重症心身障害児(者)の高齢介護者は子どもの死別後社会との繋がりを失うことで、ソーシャルサポートを十分に受けられない現状があり、病的悲嘆へ移行するケースもある。しかし、そのような状況においても悲嘆の過程を乗り越え意欲的に社会貢献を行う高齢介護者もいる。
重い障害を持つ子どもの母親のレジリエンスについての研究はなされているが、子どもと死別した高齢者介護者のレジリエンスについての報告はなされていない。重い障害を持つ子どもの死後、意欲的に社会貢献に至るまでの過程と、その過程に影響する要因を明らかにすることで、重い障害を持つ子どもを亡くした高齢介護者への支援について示唆を得ることが出来ると考える。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The study participants had situations where they [struggled with repeated feelings of pessimism]. However, the study participants had a [positive mindset], were supported by [comrades who were running on two wheels] and [feelings for their children], felt [personal growth and satisfaction] and [development into a wide range of initiatives], and [social contribution that spilled over from community involvement].
As for factors influencing resilience, as in previous studies, the participants had positive thinking, which is considered to be an intrinsic resilience, and they had relationships with their surroundings, which is an acquired resilience, and acted with the intention to solve problems. In addition, they were also involved in the community and related to society, which not only contributed to their personal development, but also had a ripple effect on others.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

度重なる逆境においても、ポジティブな思考をベースに、後天的に獲得されるレジリエンスを活かして社会貢献に至る経過が明らかとなった。そのきっかけはコミュニティーへの参加であり、個人の成長のみならず、その影響が波及し周囲の個人の成長も促す要因が見受けられた。
