長期入院脳血管障害患者の主観的幸福感—作業療法受療者と非受療者の比較

Subjective well-being in elderly patients with cerebrovascular disease during long-term admittance

要旨：脳血管障害後遺症を有し，長期入院をしている高齢障害者50名に対してPGCモラールスケールを用いて主観的幸福感を測定し，作業療法受療者と非受療者で主観的幸福感にどのような差があるか，またどのような要因が高齢障害者の主観的幸福感に影響を与えているのか調査を行った．

　その結果，作業療法受療者と非受療者の間に主観的幸福感に差があることが認められた．また，主観的幸福感に影響を与えている要因は，作業療法の受療の有無の他，性別により違いがあることが示された．すなわち，男性の方が作業療法を受けることで良好な効果を受けやすいことがわかった．

　Subjective well-being of elderly patients suffering from the sequela of cerebrovascular disease were quantitatively estimated by the Philadelphia Geriatrc Morale Scale (PGC), as affected by occupational therapy or other factors. Patients receiving occupational therapy showed higher PGC scores, as compared with those who received no therapy, indicating that the therapy exerted a favourable effect on the sujective well-being of the patients. The feelings were also found to be affected by sex, males being found to be more effectively affected by the therapy.
