Basic research for the care of demented elderly people with regard to the environmental condition

本研究旨在提出单位型与传统型特殊护理之家护理人员教育与训练之建议。为此，照顾者的工作场所的适应进行了检查方面的照顾方式和多年的经验。在本研究中，管理的问卷调查，以及时间的研究进行。问卷由22名在传统特殊护理之家工作的护理人员和36名在单元式特殊护理之家工作的护理人员完成。这些疗养院都是由同一家公司建立的。时间研究共16照顾者（8，传统; 8单元型）。疗养院已批准他们参与本研究。的适应程度进行了研究，就多年的经验和照顾者给予的照顾方式。问卷调查结果显示，在单元式护理之家，经验不足的照顾者和用户之间的压力显着大于经验丰富的照顾者和用户之间。这一结果似乎与时间研究中的发现相关，即经验不足的护理人员在私人房间照顾每个用户所花费的时间明显短于经验丰富的护理人员所花费的时间，因此可以建议作为护理人员教育的必要条件。在传统的养老院中，经验不足的护理人员比经验丰富的护理人员更容易耗尽精力。有人建议，必须考虑到新的照顾者的持续教育和支持。

The purpose of this study was to propose requisites for education and training of caregivers in unit-type and conventional special nursing homes. For this purpose, adaptation of caregivers to the workplace was examined with respect to their manner of care giving and years of experience.In this study, a questionnaire was administered as well as a time study performed. Questionnaires were completed by 22 caregivers working in conventional special nursing homes and 36 caregivers working in unit-type special nursing homes. These nursing homes had all been established by the same corporation. The time study was made on a total of 16 caregivers (8,conventional ; 8 unit-type). Nursing homes had approved of their participation in this study. The degree of adaptation was studied with respect to years of experience and manner of care giving by the caregivers. Results of the questionnaire showed that in unit-type nursing homes, stress between less experienced caregivers and users was significantly greater than that between highly experienced caregivers and users. This result seemed to be correlated with the finding in the time study that the time spent by less experienced caregivers in caring for each user in his or her private room was significantly shorter than that spent by highly experienced caregivers, and could consequently be proposed as a requisite for education of caregivers. In conventional nursing homes as well, less experienced caregivers burned themselves out at significantly higher rates than did highly experienced caregivers. The importance of continuous educational consideration and support for new caregivers was suggested.
