Abstract

As a global trend in mental health and welfare services, the community is increasingly considered to play a central role in the lives of people with mental illness. Group homes (GHs) are used globally as a means of promoting deinstitutionalization and establishing community life. The Japanese government issued a call to build Community-Based Integrated Care Systems for people with mental illness (CICSM). Therefore, we evaluated the location characteristics of GHs to determine the feasibility of daily life skills training, using a Geographic Information System (GIS). The target area was Ishikawa Prefecture. The size of everyday living areas (ELAs) for older adults was set at 1.8 km, and at 2.5 km for adults. We counted the number of service providers (SPs). Two GHs in the adult ELA and two GHs in the older adult ELA did not have SPs. Eight GHs had only one SP in their ELAs. Results showed that GHs with no or a few SPs in their ELAs are disadvantaged in shopping skills training. These findings may help people with mental illness in various countries develop support plans to effectively provide daily life training, considering the characteristics of the geographical environment and social resources around their living bases.
日本以社区为基础的精神疾病患者综合照护系统:评估团体之家的地理位置特征,以确定日常生活技能训练的可行性
作为精神健康和福利服务的全球趋势,社区越来越被认为在精神疾病患者的生活中发挥核心作用。集体之家(GHs)在全球范围内被用作促进去机构化和建立社区生活的手段。日本政府呼吁为精神疾病患者建立基于社区的综合护理系统(CICSM)。因此,我们利用地理信息系统(GIS)评估了GHs的位置特征,以确定日常生活技能培训的可行性。目标区域是石川县。老年人日常生活区(ELAs)的大小设定为1.8公里,成年人为2.5公里。我们统计了服务提供商(sp)的数量。2例成人ELA的GHs和2例老年ELA的GHs没有SPs。8个GHs的ela中只有1个SP。结果表明,没有或很少有服务对象的家庭教师在购物技能培训方面处于不利地位。这些发现可能有助于各国精神疾病患者在考虑其生活基地周围的地理环境和社会资源特点的情况下,制定支持计划,有效地提供日常生活培训。
