Well-being of elderly people receiving some types of the care services
抄録
老人関連施設を利用している老人117名を対象に,主観的幸福感,日常生活活動能力,環境要因,健康感の調査を行い,主観的幸福感に影響を及ぼす諸要因に関して統計学的な検討を行った.老人の社会活動性や家屋周辺の階段の有無,現在の健康感などが老人の主観的幸福感に影響していることが示唆された.これによりわれわれ医療・福祉従事者は,老人の社会活動性を促すような介入が必要で,外部環境の阻害要因を取り除くことや個人の健康感を高める働きかけが重要であると考えられた.
117 elderly people, who were currently receiving some types of the care services and showing no remarkable disease, dysfunction, nor dementia, were inquired about their perception in regard to their living capabilities, health condition, and life satisfaction in general. States of their physical life space were also investigated. The obtained data was statistically analyzed. The results showed that how much these people were satisfied with their lives was significantly related to factors such as degree of their social activeness and how they perceived the condition of their own health. It was also found that even the presence of "staircase or steps" in the proximal area of around their residence would affect their general sense of life satisfaction. These results suggest that it is crucial for service-providers not only to provide elderly citizens with such programs as encouraging social activeness, but also to be aware of their physical environment so that any obstacles that reduce their ease of mobility could be removed.
