    オンデマンド型遠隔授業の受講生を対象に先延ばし意識特性尺度に回答を求め,学習履歴から分類した先延ばし学習傾向群間で比較を行った.先延ばし群には前半回のいずれかで先延ばしがあり,先延ばし無し群よりも「状況の楽観視」,「先延ばし前の否定的感情」,「先延ばし中の肯定的感情」の下位尺度得点が高い傾向があった.学生の先延ばし意識特性の事前把握や,授業前半で先延ばししている学生への援助の必要性が示唆された.

    (1) Background: To what extent is information manipulation by doctors acceptable? To answer this question, we conducted an exploratory study aimed at obtaining basic data on descriptive ethics for considering this issue. (2) Methods: A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted on a large sample (n = 3305) of doctors. The participants were queried on (1) whether they consider that information manipulation is necessary (awareness), (2) whether they have actually manipulated information (actual state), and (3) their ethical tolerance. (3) Result: The response rate was 28.7%. Sixty percent of the doctors responded that information manipulation to avoid harm to patients is necessary (awareness), that they have actually manipulated information (actual state), and that information manipulation is ethically acceptable. (4) Conclusion: While the present survey was conducted among doctors in Japan, previous studies have reported similar findings in the United States and Europe. Based on our analysis, we hypothesize that a relationship of trust between patients and medical personnel is crucial and that information manipulation is not needed when such a relationship has been established.

    <p>This research aims to clarify patients' needs and expectations regarding the role of medical social workers (MSW) in palliative and end-of-life care in Japan. A group of 188 cancer patients were given a questionnaire survey (response rate 77.7%). The respondents were divided into two groups: those who had received consultation from MSW in the past and those who had not. A factor analysis was performed for the group that had not received any consultation in the past. Five factors with 23 items were found within the group without any consultation experience. The five factors were as follows:developing a support plan for patients, helping patients who cannot confirm their intentions to make medical decisions, communicating patients' feelings to medical professionals, sharing information with other professionals, and providing psychological support to patients and their families. The model was evaluated as valid, with the goodness of fit at GFI 0.981 and AGFI 0.976. This study confirmed the need for MSWs in palliative and end-of-life care in the Japanese health system to provide support to the patients and their families in dealing with the final moments of life.</p>

    <p>In order to identity the factors behind the role performance of medical social workers (MSWs) working in palliative and end of life care and the causal relationships of these factors, 1134 MSWs from designated core cancer centers across Japan were asked to fill out a questionnaire survey (response rate 37.1%). For this study, we created a multi-index model where competency, coping, attitude toward death, and adaptability to the workplace and the occupation all mutually influenced one another in regulating the role performance of the MSWs in palliative and end of life care. By conducting a covariance structure analysis, we obtained a statistically significant estimation regarding the model. The model was evaluated as valid, with the goodness of fit as GFI=.920, AGFI=.898, and RMSEA=.060. This study revealed the structure of the role of MSWs in palliative and end of life care (information sharing, social work practice, advocacy, patient decision making support, and mental health support); and the proposed hypothesis, including the relevant factors, was supported. We suggest that improving these conditions could lead to an optimization of the MSWs role in medical and care teams.</p>

    type:Departmental Bulletin Paper 本研究の目的は,文献研究を通して,精神科病院に長期入院する患者とその家族等による退院に向けた意思決定および精神保健福祉士(PSW)による意思決定支援と今後の課題を明らかにすることである.学術情報検索サイトCiNii,J-STAGEを用いて,日本語であり閲覧可能なもの,本研究のテーマである精神科病院に長期入院する患者と家族等の意思決定,PSWによる意思決定支援についての文献検索を行った.その結果,39編が分析対象となり,長期入院患者は意思決定に対して満足感とともに困難さを感じ,家族等は患者に代わり行った意思決定に自信を持つことができずに葛藤を抱えていることが明らかになった.また,PSWは患者の生活全体を見渡し,患者や患者に代わり意思決定を行う家族等を支援することが明らかになった.今後の課題として,意思決定支援の過程でのPSWのかかわり,患者および家族等がPSWに求める支援,PSWによる家族等の負担を軽減する方法を明らかにすることが示唆された. The purpose of this study is to clarify the decision-making regarding discharge by patients and their families who have been hospitalized for a long term in a psychiatric hospital and their decision-making support by psychiatric social worker. We searched for literatures on the decision-making by patients and their families and their decision-making support by PSWs, the theme of this study, that were available in Japanese. As a result, 39 articles were analyzed, and it became clear that long-term hospitalized patients feel both satisfaction and difficulty in their decision-making, and that family members have conflicts because they cannot have confidence in the decisions made on behalf of the patients. In addition, PSWs were found to support patients and their family members who made decisions on behalf of the patients by looking at the patients' lives as a whole. It is suggested to clarify the involvement of PSWs in the decision-making support process, the support that patients and their families seek from PSWs, and how PSWs can reduce the burden on families.
