病後の作業再開を可能にした背景

Contexts of enabling resumption of occupations

要旨：脳卒中患者が再び作業を開始し，自ら生活を構築していった様子をインタビューにより調査した．対象者は外来もしくはデイケアに通う40～80歳台の9名であり，内訳は男性5名，女性4名であった．データ分析はグラウンデッドセオリーアプローチを用いた．分析の結果，病後の作業再開を可能にした背景として，6カテゴリーと15サブカテゴリーが出現した．一般的な考えとは逆に，作業や環境の不足状況が作業再開を導く結果となっていた．

　This study explores through interviews about life reconstruction experiences how disabled stroke survivors resume their occupations. The subjects were 4 female and 5 male stroke outpatients or users of day-care services between the ages of 40 and 80 years old. The subjects were interviewed, and the data was analyzed using the grounded theory approach. Six categories and 15 subcategories emerged. The first category was related to the lack of employment. That this lack of employment served as the trigger of resumption of occupations was a new finding.
