地域在住高齢者を対象としたICT機器を用いた作業療法介入に関するスコーピングレビュー

A scoping review of occupational therapy interventions using ICT devices for community-dwelling older adults

要旨：【目的】地域在住高齢者を対象としたICT機器を用いた作業療法介入の現状と効果をスコーピングレビューから明らかにすることである．【方法】文献は10のデータベースを用いて2023年9月までに発表された文献を検索し，5件の研究が分析対象に選定された．【結果】研究対象は健康高齢者や軽度認知障害者で，ICT機器を用いた介入が日常生活機能の改善や社会的なつながりの増加に寄与した．その一方で，個別支援の必要性や長期的効果の検証が課題となった．【結論】ICT機器は高齢者の自立支援に有効であるが，長期的効果の検証と個別化された介入の必要性が示唆された．

　[Objective] The objective of this study is to clarify the current state and effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions using ICT devices for community-dwelling older adults through a scoping review. [Methods] Literature was searched from 10 databases for studies published by September 2023, with five studies selected for analysis. [Results] The studies focused on healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment. Interventions using ICT devices contributed to improvements in daily living functions and increased social connections. However, challenges such as the need for individualized support and the evaluation of long-term effects were identified. [Conclusion] While ICT devices are effective in supporting the independence of older adults, further research is needed to validate long-term effects and address the necessity for personalized interventions.
