Development of Preventive care Program for the Elderly promoting Empowerment

本研究的目的是开发一种预防护理方案，不仅防止老年人的心理、身体和生活功能的下降，而且促进增能，帮助老年人在熟悉的领域过上他们希望的生活。此外，我们明确了预防护理服务中老年人增能支持的实际情况，并根据结果，我们为工人制定了支助指南和活动评估指标，以及确定参与老年人变化的评估指标。我们将上述方法应用于以二级预防对象为对象的设施预防保健项目，并对其效果进行了调查，发现“积极改善生活方式行为“和“保持与他人的互动和生活的乐趣“的赋权得到了促进。

The objective of the present study was to develop a preventive care program that not only prevents decreases in the mental, physical,and life functions of elderly individuals,but also promotes empowerment that helps enable elderly individuals to lead the lives they desire in familiar areas.In addition,we clarified the actual condition of empowerment support for elderly individuals in preventive care services,and based on the results,we created support guidelines and assessment indicators of activities for workers, as well as assessment indicators for determining changes in the participating elderly individuals. We applied the above to a facility-based preventive care program for subjects of secondary prevention and investigated its effectiveness.We found that empowerment for"proactive improvement of lifestyle behaviors"and"maintenance of interactions with others and enjoyment in life"in particular were promoted.
