―学習療法を題材に―

抄録

This study focuses on “learning therapy,” which is a nonpublic care insurance service developed for long-term care insurance facilities. The study examines whether trust built through interaction among long-term care insurance facilities in learning therapy study groups also affects the willingness to continue providing learning therapy. Innovative services have been extensively studied to address social issues such as nonpublic care insurance services, which have shown the processes of creating and diffusing them. However, the aspect of the continuous provision has been understudied. For such services, continuous provision of services cannot be provided if the facilities are unwilling to continue. This study adopts quantitative analysis using the case of learning therapy. This empirical study applied a questionnaire survey to test the hypothesis using 66 facilities that adopted learning therapy. The willingness to continue to provide the service is the dependent variable, trust in other facilities is the independent variable, and the analysis includes five control variables. Multiple regression analyzes revealed that trust in other facilities and effective practice of the service increased the willingness to continue to provide the service.
