| Research Abstract |
The present study aimed to examine the effects of education programs promoting sense of watching elderly neighbors among community-residents. The programs included small lecture and group-work session, which theme are "watching elderly neighbors with cognitive decline" and "significance and necessity of watching elderly neighbors", utilizing audiovisual education materials which we have developed in the present study. We have testified the programs to a total of 94 coummunity-residents and found that participants were comprehensive regard to the programs and they revealed that utilizing resources or cooperation with professions and residents to prevent social isolation should be needed. Further investigation would be focused on effects of the programs, including compliance of watching behavior to elderly neighbors on residents or occurrence of elderly abuse and solid death.
