The Ef fectiveness of a Home-Based Health Promotion Program for the Local Community-Dwelling Older Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic : Using Locomo25 Items as Indicators
Get PDF新型コロナウイルスによる外出自粛生活は高齢者にとって活動量などを減少させる。これらはロコモティブシンドロームの要因となると考えられる。そこで本研究では地域在住高齢者を対象として1 日1 課題に取り組んでもらう為の日めくりカレンダーを作成し、この介入の効果をロコモ25 の項目を指標に調査を行った。方法は、111 名を対象に3 か月間、通常の生活をしていただいたコントロール群（62 名）とカレンダー課題を毎日実施していただく介入群（49 名）に分け、その前後でロコモ25 の質問について回答していただいた。その結果、女性では介入群において介入前後で転倒恐怖感について改善が見られた。1 日1 課題によって活動量の低下を抑えることによって運動器に対する心理的な自信もついた事が考えられた。articl
Renaming of Osaka Kawasaki Rehabilitation University to Izumi University
Get PDF本学は、令和8 年4 月に「大阪河﨑リハビリテーション大学」から「和泉大学」へと大学の名称を変更する。この大学名称の変更は、地域社会と国際社会への貢献を拡大し、リハビリテーション分野を中心とした健康創成社会の構築を目指す決意の表明であり、これまでの20 年間で蓄積した教育・研究成果を基盤とし、リハビリテーション専門職の養成大学から地域に密着した総合的な研究教育機関へと発展するための大学開設20 周年事業の一環である。和泉大学のビジョンは、超高齢社会に対応する健康創成社会の構築を目指し、ウェルビーイングを重視した近未来のリハビリテーション専門職を養成し、リハビリテーション領域の新技術開発や地域資源（例: 機能性食品）の活用を通じ、認知機能の維持や健康寿命の延伸に貢献することであり、データサイエンスを活用した統合的な研究アプローチを強化し、地域および国際社会への貢献を果たすことである。
大阪南部・和歌山地域の自然環境を活用したこれまでの園芸療法の伝統に加えて、食物や機能性食品の研究を推進し、認知予備力の本体を解明し認知症の予防法を開発し、地域行政や産業との連携を深め、産官学の協力による地域活性化を目指す。In April 2026, the university will change its name from Osaka Kawasaki Rehabilitation University to Izumi University. This change of name is a declaration of our commitment to expanding our contribution to the local and international communities and to the creation of a health-creating society centered on the field of rehabilitation. It is also part of the university’s 20th anniversary project to develop from a university that trains rehabilitation professionals to a comprehensive research and educational institution that is rooted in the local community, based on the educational and research activities accumulated over the previous 20 years. The vision of Izumi University is to contribute to the maintenance of cognitive function and the extension of healthy life expectancy through the development of new technologies in the field of rehabilitation and the utilization of local resources （e.g. functional foods）, with the aim of building a society of health creation that responds to the needs of an ultra-aged society, and to train rehabilitation professionals who place importance on wellbeing in the near future, and to strengthen an integrated research approach that utilizes data science, and to contribute to the local and international community.Special Contributionarticl
Factors affecting destination outcomes after stroke in patients in a convalescent ward - a study including home visits -
No full textGraduate School of Osaka Kawasaki Rehabilitation UniversityMasterBackground: To understand the characteristics of stroke patients discharged home from an early stage and to provide an effective rehabilitation program, we retrospectively examined factors affecting the outcome destination of patients admitted to a convalescent ward (either back to their home, or lsewhere, such as a care facility). Specifically, we examined the effect of a home visit by a physical therapist at the time of admission for information gathering.
Methods: We included 212 patients aged ≥65 years who were hospitalized for a first cerebral hemorrhage or stroke between December 2019 and ovember 2022. Interview and assessment items at admission were collected from medical records. The significance level was set at <5%, and after univariate analysis comparing the two groups, we conducted multivariate analysis to determine independently associated factors.
Results: The discharged-to-home group (87 people) was younger than the group who were discharged elsewhere (125 people), but there was no ignificant sex difference between these groups. However, their rate of home visits by a physical therapist at the time of admission was higher. In addition, items that are indicators of activities of daily living score, muscle strength, swallowing, and nutrition were significantly higher in those discharged to their homes. Binomial logistic regression analysis selected a total score of 3.94 (95% CI: 1.58-9.84) for the admission visit and 1.04 (95% CI: 1.00-1.07) for the functional independence measure exercise items at admission.
Conclusion: Home visits by physical therapists at the time of admission and the total score of the functional independence measure motor items were associated with the outcome destination of stroke patients admitted to the convalescent ward in this cohort. This suggests the importance of gathering
home-related information and maintaining motor function in the early stages of admission.articl
Changes in Destinations for Residents of a Long-Term Care Health Facility During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Relationship Between the Level of Care Required, Independence, and Awareness of Residents
Get PDF新型コロナウィルス感染症の拡大前（2019 年度、以下、コロナ禍前）と感染拡大中（2021 年度、以下、コロナ禍）の介護老人保健施設（以下、老健）の退所先の相違と年齢・要介護度・自立度・認知度に違いがあるかどうかを調査することとした。対象はO 府の老健を退所した162 人である。方法は2019 年度と2021 年度の退所者から自宅退所者（以下、自宅群）と高齢者向け住まい・施設の退所者（以下、みなし群）の数を得て、自宅群とみなし群の人数、年齢、要介護度、自立度、認知度を比較した。2019 年度（自宅群：57人、みなし群：26 人）と2021 年度（自宅群：69 人、みなし群：10 人）は、2021 年度で自宅群の人数が多く（p=0.004）、さらに自宅群の年齢は若く（p=0.021）、両群共に2021 年度で認知度が重度であった（自宅群：p=0.002、みなし群：p=0.009）。2021 年度は、退所者や家族が、他施設での集団生活での新型コロナウィルスへの感染リスク恐れて入所を控え、介護サービスが必要な認知度にもかかわらず自宅へ退所したと思われる。This study aimed to probe into whether there were differences in the destinations of residents leaving a long-term care health facility before the spread of COVID-19 in fiscal year 2019 and during the spread of the nfection in fiscal year 2021. This study also attempted to investigate differences among residents regarding age, levels of care required, independence, and awareness. The participants were 162 people who left a long-term care health facility in O Prefecture. We obtained data on the number of people who left their homes and the longterm care health facility in fiscal years 2019 and 2021, and compared the datasets according to the number of people who left the their homes and the facility, age, levels of care required, independence, and awareness. In 2021, the number of people who left home was higher than in 2019 (p = 0.004), and those who left home were younger (p = 0.021). Both those who left home and those who left the long-term care health facility had high levels of awareness in 2021. In 2021, it appears that residents and their families were afraid of the risk of contracting COVID-19 from groups living in other facilities, and so they moved back home despite being aware of the need for nursing care services.Original Articlearticl
