Popis: 認知症高齢者の家族介護者が抱く介護負担感に関する簡便な支援の効果を明らかにした.研究対象者は,研究協力施設の2施設を利用している認知症高齢者の主介護者34人とした.介入として,短縮版Zarit介護負担尺度日本語版(J-ZBI_8)に基づいた簡便な支援を介護支援専門員が行った.対象者には,支援1か月前,支援直後,支援1か月後に聞き取り調査か自記式質問紙調査を行った.介護者の概要は,女性が28人と多くを占めていた.支援前後では,介護負担感(ρ=0.992),肯定的認識(ρ=0.735),介護継続意思(ρ=0.152)で有意差は認められなかった.しかし,介護負担感がハイリスク群の対象者では,介護継続意思の変化量が非ハイリスク群と比べて有意に向上していた(ρ=0.045).本研究の結果から,認知症高齢者の介護者の介護負担感の軽減には,主観的な介護負担感を把握し,それに基づく支援をさらに充実させることで効果を高める必要性が示唆された.
The present study aimed to verify the efficacy of using an onsite prompt support for caregiver burden for caregivers of persons with dementia in caregiving appraisal. Thirty-four primary caregivers of persons with dementia staying at two care facilities consented to participate in this study. Long-term care support specialists provided support based on care burden standards. The measures were administered as selfreport questionnaires or as interviews before the support was conducted, during the support, immediately after, and one month after to evaluate changes in caregiver appraisal. Participants were predominately women (n = 28) . There was no significant difference in caregiver burden (p = 0.992), positive appraisal (p = 0.735), or caregiving continuation (p = 0.152) before and after the support. However, among participants who had a high risk of caregiver burden, continuation of caregiving improved significantly over the period of support; this was not found for participants without a high risk. According to the study results, caregiver burden among caregivers of persons with dementia could be reduced by improving their understandingof the subjective feelings of caregiver burden.
