| Research Abstract |
A follow-up on the health and living conditions of the elderly revealed that the factors related to decreased instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) included aging, daily living activities like grocery shopping, and role performance in the community. In addition, an interview with public health nurses showed that they recognized elderly people's difficulties in daily living and provided management of preventive care for sustained independent living, while a scheme for early detection of elderly persons requiring preventive care remained an issue. Based on the results of these surveys, the applicants prepared a watch list in their neighborhoods for early detection of elderly persons requiring preventive care and conducted a survey with welfare commissioners in the community. More than 80% of welfare commissioners responded that the list would be useful, suggesting the potential utilization of this list.
