The purpose of this study was to analyze the concept of "parenting difficulty" experienced by mother with infants and to reveal its definition and components. Methods: Rodgers' concept analysis was used as a framework to analyze the concept of "parenting difficulty". Antecedents, attributes and consequences were analyzed from descriptive data and the concept was defined. Four attributes were extracted from the "state of continued parenting stress": "confusion about appropriate child-rearing", "distress regarding actual child-rearing", "burden and fatigue from child-rearing", and "conflict with family and/or neighbors". The one attribute extracted from "state of poor child-rearing" was "abuse and/or behavior close to abuse". Seven of twelve antecedents were extracted as mother's factor. Three consequences were extracted. The present findings show that effective preventive intervention for parenting difficulty of mother could lead to prevention for child abuse and developmental delays. This concept could be used for early screening and preventive intervention for mothers who worry about having parenting difficulty.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate quantitatively how wheelchair cushions and the deflection of the wheelchair seat influence sitting motion. Methods : Head, trunk and pelvic movements from side to side on a wheelchair were measured in nine healthy males and females using a Vicon motor analysis system. Sitting motion was measured under ten conditions: four wheelchair cushions and no cushion (with or without a board on the seat for each measurement). Outcomes were movement distance from center of gravity and the pelvic angle on the frontal plane. Results : A Roho one-valve cushion had significantly less movement distance from the center of gravity than a J2 cushion or no cushion. No cushion and the Roho one-valve cushion resulted in significantly smaller pelvic angles than the J2 and Varilite cushions. There were no significant differences with or without a board for movement distance and pelvic angle. Conclusions: Material and structure of seating faces influenced movement distance from the center of gravity on the frontal plane. Shaped cushions that supported the great trochanter resulted in a greater pelvic angle on the frontal plane. The deflection of the wheelchair seat had no influence on either outcome.

【Purpose】 This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of standing centroid oscillation by the presence or absence of equinus in ambulant patients with cerebral palsy. 【Methods】 Nineteen patients whose gross motor functions were classified as level I or II were selected (non-equinus group, 8 patients; equinus group, 11 patients). We examined the standing centroid oscillation by eye-opening and eye-closing. We analyzed the data by performing a repeated-measures two-way layout analysis of variance, and multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni method that assumed centroid oscillation as a dependent variable. 【Results】 The total length of body sway had main effect the presence or absence of equinus and both eye-opening and eye-closing, and interaction was confirmed. In the eye-closing, the total length of body sway significantly decreased in the equinus group compared with that in the non-equinus group. 【Conclusions】 Our results suggest that standing centroid oscillation changed according to the equinus group or the non-equinus group. In the equinus group, we concerned important to do preventive intervention for secondary disability because each joints were rocked with standing.

This study aimed to investigate opportunities for patients with cerebrovascular disorders, who were admitted to a convalescent ward, to start focusing on their everyday lives. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 3 patients, who were considered to have had focused on their everyday lives during hospitalization and currently live in their homes, and the obtained data were analyzed. The following 5 factors common among the 3 patients were obtained as the results of analysis: "The opportunity for them to reacknowledge their responsibilities in their everyday lives" and "housekeeping activities in occupational therapy" as factors that helped them focus on their lives, and "having had a specific responsibility before they became ill", "a positive way of thinking", and "positive attitude to make use of their disease experience in their later lives" as background factors that helped to generate the above 2 factors. The results suggest that the use of previous responsibilities and habitual activities of each patient in occupational therapy can help them focus on their everyday lives. Skills to obtain information on patients' everyday lives are needed.

The Compton camera technique is a novel method that enables us to estimate the direction of incident sub-MeV photons for each event without the collimator usually used in SPECT, and then to realize photon imaging. Some studies have constructed Compton camera systems using components such as a Si/CdTe semiconductor, or a CsI(T1) scintillator. In this technique, the photon source is reproduced by a superposition of back-projected rings in the 2D plane with the estimated scattering angle θ, but this degrades the spatial resolution in the reconstructed image. In this paper, we propose a novel reconstruction method for the Compton camera technique that is based on the filtered back projection algorithm used in computed tomography. We conducted reconstruction simulations assuming computed tomography and the Compton camera. We demonstrated that our proposed method drastically improves the spatial resolution of the Compton camera technique.
