Measuring the Effect of Memory Training Program For Healthy Elders Living in Community: Targeting to establish memory interventions for elderly with dementia.

本项目旨在为老年人建立记忆训练计划，并在社区推广该计划，作为长期社区护理的预防方法。在项目之初，我们就意识到有必要将项目的理念从健康保护模式转变为健康促进模式。此外，我们发现，在成功老龄化的概念中重组项目对于提供长期护理中的预防方法至关重要。在Research Report A中，对最终版本的程序结构进行了解释。我们也在研究报告B中描述了该计划对老年人内在方面的影响，如元记忆、记忆自我效能、抑郁和控制点。在报告C中，我们讨论了培训项目作为社区生活老年人预防活动的使用。根据手册接受培训的指导员指导社区提供的课程。我们发现，该方案是可复制的，在手册的基础上，对老年人有很好的效果。这个项目的目标之一是开发一个评估程序的测量工具。MIA（成人元记忆问卷）是我们使用的测量工具之一。我们计划在这个项目中开发日本短版的MIA。第一步，我们将MIA翻译成日语，并在报告e中讨论了翻译版本的信度和效度，根据结果开发短版本将是下一步。该项目剩下的一项任务是为老年痴呆症患者建立一个项目结构。这个项目的第一个位置是在长期护理的预防方法。这就是为什么我们从健康老年人教育项目开始。我们无法用老年痴呆患者的干预方案来结束这个项目；然而，我们相信该项目的结果将引导我们进入老年痴呆症项目的下一个步骤。少

This project was trying to establish memory training program for elder people and to spread the program in community for preventive approach in long term community care. At the beginning of the project, we realized that it is necessary to shift the concept of the program form health protection model to health promotion model. Also, we found that restructuring the program in the concept of successful aging is critical for providing the program for preventive approach in long term care. In Research Report A, the final version of the program structure was explained. We also described the effect of the program on elders' internal aspect in Research Report B, such as metamemory, memory self-efficacy, depression, and locus of control. In Report C, we discussed about the usage of training program as the preventive activity for community living elderly. The instructor who was trained based on the manual guided the program provided in community. We found that the program was replicable based on … More the manual and could give good effect on the elders.One of the objectives for this project was to develop a measurement tool for assessment of the program. The MIA (Metamemory in Adulthood Questionnaire) was one of the measurement tools we used. We planned to develop Japanese short version of MIA in this project. For the first step, we translated the MIA into Japanese and discussed the reliability and validity of translated version in Report E. Developing the short version based on the result will be the nest step.One remained assignment for the project was to establish a structure of program for the elders with dementia. The first position of this project was at the preventive approach in long term care. That is why we started to from the educational program for healthy elderly. We were not able to conclude the project with intervention program for the elderly with dementia; however, we believe that the result of the project will guide us to the nest step of the program for the elderly with dementia.
