| Popis: | 目的:実践レベルでの住民の視点を活用した地域アセスメントを検討するため、コミュニティアズパートナーモデル(以下、モデルと略)を用いて、小離島の高齢者の「認識」から、地域の捉え方、地域の強み、地域の健康課題とその解決方法を導き出すことを目的とする。方法:研究協力者は、A村保健師から紹介を得て了解の得られた高齢者6名である。方法は、モデルの枠組みの住民の「認識」を用いてインタビューを行い、質的帰納的に分析した。結果:1.地域の捉え方及び地域の強みは、モデルの「地域のコア」及び「サブシステム」 の構成要素を包含していた。特に、【価値と信念】についての語りでは、(困難を乗り越えることができる島)、(人材の育つ島)などと捉え、既存資料や統計資料などの客観的データでは把握しづらい内容であった。2. 地域の健康課題は、高齢者ケアや介護問題、離島医療、若者の健康問題、つながりの弱まりを挙げていた。その解決方法は、「住民としてのセルフケアと支え合い」と「専門職・行政への期待」があった。結論:住民の「認識」から、地域の捉え方と地域の強みは地域アセスメントに活用が可能である。そして住民は、健康課題の解決方法として、専門職・行政との協働による取組みを希望していた。 Aim : The aim of the study was to consider a regional assessment approach that utilizes local residents' viewpoints at the practice level.
