| Research Abstract |
1. Present Status of studies on the Quality of Life (QOL) of, and Care for Senile Dementia Sufferers As regards nursing care for senile dementia sufferers at treatment facilities in Japan, a survey of 1 9 related documents issued during the past 5 years (1990-1994) revealed that an effective nursing method has been sought in this area, and that a universal and systematic nursing method is now under development.
2. Development of Nursing Care Skills for Improving QOL for the Senile-A Study via Questionnaire
In light of the above, a study was conducted to clarify, via questionnaire, the concept of nursing care skills with regard to improving QOL for the senile, based on the opinions of nurses engaged in care of the aged.
This study involved the preparation of a questionnaire comprising 8 4 questions on the effect of such nursing care. The questionnaire is based on the above-mentioned 1 9 documents issued during the past 5 years. 5 0 9 valid responses were subjected to fator analysis, which revealed the following aspects of nursing care skills : "care suited to individual patients, " "provision of necessary treatment and care, " "avoidance of patient isolation, " "maintenance of quasi-familial relationship, " "respect for patient individuality, " "avoidance of patient confusion, " "care based on attachment, " "physical management, " and "enhancement of patient sense of security." Future tasks include the further development of nursing care skills for the senile, comprising these factors : the designing of tools for measuring results achieved through such skills (in improving QOL for the senile) ; and the establishment of a nursing care model for tending the senile, based on such skills and tools.
