Horticultural Activities Conducted Within Medical and Welfare Institutions － Results of a Survey of Clinical Practice Facilities －
Get PDF大阪河﨑リハビリテーション大学で 2006 年の開学から 2021 年度までに園芸療法士の資格を取得した在校生および卒業生数は 670名（理学療法学専攻 175 名、作業療法学専攻 428 名、言語聴覚学専攻 67 名）である。本研究の目的は、本学における今後の園芸療法の教育と臨床現場への普及について考察することである。調査対象は、近畿地方の本学の臨床実習施設および卒業生が就職した病院や福祉施設 210 施設とし、アンケート用紙を、1 施設に 1 部を郵送した。調査結果は、項目ごとに割合を算出した。自由記載欄については、AI テキストマイニングツールを用い、各単語の頻度を算出した。解析対象となった回答者 110 名のうち、47 名（42.7％）が園芸活動を導入していた。本学に求められていることは、活動報告や意見交換の場を設けること、農業や園芸の専門家による野菜作りや草花栽培について学ぶ場を設けることであると考えられた。また、園芸活動の効果を裏付ける基礎研究を進め、植物や園芸がヒトに与える良い影響について解明していくことも必要であることがわかった。Reportdepartmental bulletin pape

Changes in family caregivers' sense of caregiving burden resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Get PDFFamily caregivers’ sense of caregiving burden during the COVID-19 pandemic was investigated using an original self-administered questionnaire, the Japanese version of the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (J-ZBI) and the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12). Family caregivers whofelt that the time involved in caregiving increased during the COVID-19 pandemic tended to strongly feel that the care recipients demanded more care than necessary, and that they themselves had less time for social activities and had poorer mental health. Alongside this, the physical state of care recipients was thought to worsen during the COVID-19 pandemic and this was thought to have a significant impact on the increase in caregiving time and thus the sense of caregiving burden. Refraining from going out during a pandemic can lead to a decrease in physical activity and interruption of treatment, and this may have life-threatening consequences for elderly people. This study highlighted the situation of caregivers of family members of people with dementia in an atypical situation such as a pandemic. Information and communications technology has been shown in previous studies to alleviate some of these problems, and we suggest it might be used to facilitate certain social activities and medical care and to relieve some of the burden on caregivers.Original Articlearticl
Test–retest reliability of Shih–Hsu test of attention (SHTA) for blind employees
Get PDFIntroduction: For blind people, attention is an important occupational performance that affects their work and activities of daily life. The “Shih-Hsu Test of Attention” (SHTA) is a newly attention assessment tool developed by occupational therapists, the assessment tool with acceptable criterion-related validity and high test-retest reliability in recently application. In this study, we intended to investigate the test-retest reliability of Shih-Hsu Test of Attention (SHTA) for blind employees.
Methods: The study participants were 30 blind employees aged 20–64 without hearing impairments. Every participant was assessed twice with an interval of three weeks.
Results: The results showed that the SHTA had good test-retest reliability (ICC=0.768) for employees with blindness.
Conclusion: We found that the SHTA which is the auditory-based attention assessment tool, has good test-retest reliability. Therefore, we suggest using the SHTA as an attention assessment tool for persons with blindness in the future.Original Articlearticl
Update on the biomechanical aspects of the medial tibial stress syndrome
Get PDFMedial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) causes pain at the posteromedial edge of the tibia during running. As a prevalent running disorder, and it is important to take measures to prevent its onset and recurrence. The ffectiveness of preventive interventions for MTSS has been widely studied, but evidence regarding the effectiveness of interventions is said to be very weak. It is therefore necessary to better understand the pathology of running disorders and the load on muscles caused by training, and to develop more accurate preventive measures. Focusing on MTSS as a representative running disorder, we reviewed the relationship between running disorders of the lower legs and the mechanical characteristics of the posterior muscles of the lower legs. The flexor digitorum longus muscle and the adjacent tibialis posterior muscle are stiff in runners with a history of MTSS. Additionally, the tibialis posterior muscle, which may be involved in the development of MTSS, is susceptible to injury regardless of whether shoes are worn.Review Articlereview articl
HTPP Test Study in Atypical Psychosis
Get PDF非定型精神病は、満田が提唱した疾患概念であり、急性に発症し、挿間性ないし周期性の経過をとる予後が良好なものである。こういった特徴は、統合失調症の経過や病態とは異なっており、また満田は臨床遺伝学的にも両疾患が異なったものであるとしている。今回、非定型精神病患者に HTPP テストを行う機会を得た。従来、統合失調症患者の HTPP テストの特徴として、「歪んだ印象」の描画が顕著に目立つこと、また、形式分析及び内容分析の中で統合失調症サインと考えられる特徴の約半数が、正常者と比較して有意に多く出現すること等が報告されている。今回得られた結果を統合失調症の HTPP テストの特徴と比較したところ、「歪んだ印象」はなく、奇妙なところもなかった。また、統合失調症サインの出現頻度は非常に少ないことがわかった。以上の結果から、非定型精神病と統合失調症は心理学的見地からも異なった特性を示す疾患である可能性が示唆された。Atypical psychosis, a disease concept originally proposed by Mitsuda in the 1940s, has a good prognosis that develops acutely and takes an intermittent or periodic course. These characteristics differ from the course and pathology of schizophrenia, and Mitsuda argued that the two diseases have different clinical genetics. In this study, we performed an HTPP test on a patient with atypical psychosis. Conventionally, the HTPP test of patients with schizophrenia is characterized by conspicuous drawings of a “distorted impression” and about half of the features considered to be schizophrenia signs appear significantly more frequently in formal analysis and content analysis than in normal subjects. However, when the HTPP test results from the patient with atypical psychosis were compared with those reported as characteristic of schizophrenia, there was no such “distorted impression” or anything else considered to be notably strange. The frequency of occurrence of signs of schizophrenia according to HTPP test was found to be very low. From a psychological point of view, these results suggest that atypical psychosis and schizophrenia may be diseases with different characteristics.Original Articlesdepartmental bulletin pape
