| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By continuing to provide support for children with Orthostatic Dysregulation,we were able to have real interactions with people of the same age, which was difficult when the symptoms were severe.In addition, the participants themselves were able to find role models through their interactions with student volunteers, who they had a close relationship with, and were able to visualize themselves in the years ahead.
As a result of conducting interviews with those affected and analyzing their narratives, it became clear that the shelter support for people suffering from this disease was a place where they could build friendships and gain psychological stability.
Through the implementation of this research, issues were raised such as securing and training student volunteers who would be responsible for the operation, fixing the number of participants, high hurdles for new members to participate, and enlightenment and dissemination of the activity itself.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
全国的に見ても実践例がほとんどない起立性調節障害の当事者を対象とした居場所支援の実践は、同じような悩みを抱える当事者、保護者にとっても先駆的な取り組みであったと考える。
医療職や福祉専門職が居場所の活動を主導するのではなく、年齢の近い学生ボランティアが運営の主体を担って実践を行う方式を取ったことは、思春期の当事者にとっても心を許し、安心して参加できる要因の一つになり、居場所支援の定例活動の内容やイベントの様子の写真を、都度SNSを通じて発信することで、同じ目的意識や問題意識を持つ人たちに対し、一定の周知、啓発を図ることができたと考える。
