JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this research was to develope three questionnaires that reflect ostomate's subjectivity and to examine the adequacy of the quality of life measurierments for Japanese subjects.
This research was organaized into two investigations. The first investigation was a qualitative study to clarify the contents of the questionnaires. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 ostomates. The data were analized using Content Analysis.
The second investigation was a quantitative study to refine the items of findings of the first investigation and to examine reliability and construct validity. A sample of 159 ostomates responded to selfreport questionnaires. Daily behavior of the ostomate was measured using the Quality of Life Index, developed in U.S.A. along with two additional items. Therefore, it has a different factor structure from reports of the QLI. The findings suggest that the research on quality of life for Japanese needs to be based on Japanese cognition of their life.
Three questionnaires that are refined by using factor analysis are applicable insturuments for Japanese ostemates: A modified QLI named Quality of Daily Behavior Questionaire, Feeling About Stoma Surgery Questionaire, and Positive Attitude Toward Life Questionaire.View full abstractDownload PDF (907K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis study aimed to clarify the factors affecting the gaps between two ADL from the sociopsychological point of view. Of the two ADL, one means the ADL which the elderly can do with their actual ability (=Can do ADL), another the ADL which they do actually (=Do do ADL).
The subjects were 66 elderly at the age of 65 years or more, and their main caregivers. The results were as follows,
1) In one third of the subjects, the discrepandy was observed between“Can do ADL”and“Do do ADL”. The discrepancy was assumed by under or over estimation.
2) All elderly was observed less“Can do ADL”score than“Do do ADL”score, and aproximaly 20% of subgects had 10 points or more lower“Do do ADL”score than “Can do ADL”score.
3) The discrepancy between two ADL score was observed in the elderly who took to traditional gender role affirmatively.“Do do ADL”score was lower than “Can do ADL”score.
4) The elderly who feel pain in motion, or those who experienced such collapse as re-attack, or those who had been cared too much had lower“Do do ADL”score than“Can do ADL”score.View full abstractDownload PDF (975K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study is to develop'independence scale usable in clinical nursing setting.'We improved ADL (Activities of Daily Living)-scale which was used in physical therapy and occupational therapy to be utilized for clinical nursing. This scale has six categories and each category has four stages describing different state of independence. The state of elderly patient'-s ndependence was surveyed using this scale at three university hospitals, and the usefulness of the scale was discussed. The results were as follows.
1) It was considered that the scale was useful in planning nursing support, because the independence stage of a patient staying in hospital was properly identified from viewpoint of nursing.
2) It was considered that the scale could be on effective tool to assess the nursing support for elevating patient's independence stage, because it was possible to analyze intervention factors to change independence stage.View full abstractDownload PDF (1069K)
