「住民主体」のコミュニティ・ミーティング手法を用いた健康問題の分析

抄録

(Purpose) A comparison of the health problems felt by the people with those assessed by the community nurses and to obtain clues to design a specific methodology in citizen- centered community nursing through the interactive process between the citizens and the community professionals. (Method) The data was obtained in community meetings held between 1996 and 1999. Data from the 1996 community meetings was used for analysis. The meetings were held in B Town, A City of Gunma Prefecture. The participants were the citizens of B Town. (Result) The first meeting was attended by 33 citizens (11 males and 22 females) with an average age of 70.6 (56 83). Three concepts, "intergenerational exchange", "information on life and health" and "safe and peaceful space", were found to be needed to share health problems submitted at the community meetings with other citizens and to solve problems. (Discussion; The community meeting approach is effective in understanding community diagnosis based on community assessment of citizen-centered health problems. It is especially useful to collect important information when designing specific programs to solve community health problems.
