We described the application status by analyzing the application forms of housing adaptation services based on differences in care need levels and health and social welfare professional types.Methods We obtained data from the application forms of housing adaptation services in Hachioji City, Tokyo in fiscal year 2015. The variables were individual factors (age, care needs level, family status, primary disease, and information about housing) and detailed content of the applied housing adaptations (daily activities expected to improve, expected effects, and types of housing adaptations). We described the number and percentage of individuals according to care need level and type of professional; care managers (long-term care agencies), care manager (community comprehensive support centers), social workers, public health/registered nurses, housing environment coordinators, and certified housing renovation specialists.Results We analyzed 1,652 participants. The participants were mostly in care needs level 1 (30.2%), and individuals in care needs level 3 (33.3%) applied for housing adaptation during hospitalization. Regarding the daily activities expected to improve, individuals requiring severe care needs likely aimed for toileting (care support level 1; 47.2%, care need levels 4/5; 57.8%) but less likely to expect to improve going outside and up and down the stairs. Individuals with care needs level 1 expected the greatest improvement in their bathing activities (58.1%). Regarding the expected effects, \"fall preventions,\" \"improved ease of activities,\" and \"reducing the applicant's mental burden and anxiety\" were crucial regardless of their care need levels, and \"enabling what cannot be done\" and \"reducing the burden on caregivers\" were more likely to be expected in individuals with more severe care needs. Regarding professional differences, the highest percentages of \"enabling what cannot be done\" were for care managers (long-term care agency) in toileting, bathing, and going outside, and social workers in getting up and down the stairs, and moving indoors. The certified housing renovation specialists emphasize on \"reducing the burden on caregivers.\" The most common type of housing adaptation was the installation of handrails or grab bars.Conclusion Housing adaptations differ depending on applicants' care needs and professional types. A system that considers the different needs should be designed depending on their care need levels and professional types and has a place in which each profession can understand the differences.</p>","PeriodicalId":72032,"journal":{"name":"[Nihon koshu eisei zasshi] Japanese journal of public health","volume":" ","pages":"495-505"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the school's health activities and present the findings obtained through surveys and health education activities at a junior high school.Methods The activities were focused on activities targeting the junior high school in Town A, Matsue City, Shimane. The town launched a pediatric lifestyle-related disease control project in 1991. Even after the municipal merger, local school health committee activities were maintained. The Division of Environmental and Preventive Medicine at Tottori University has been participating in school health activities in Town A since the beginning of the project. Elementary and junior high schools in Town A allowed medical students from Tottori University to participate in health activities for social medicine training. Herein, we discuss (1) the results of the survey conducted at A junior high school in 2022; topics included lifestyle, digital device use, and mental health (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) and (2) feedback from junior high school students, school health workers, and medical students regarding activities for social medicine training.Results Medical students provided a 50-minute health education program at A junior high school. Based on interviews and questionnaires administered to junior high students and school health workers, important health issues were identified. Accordingly, the medical students planned a program aimed at acquiring favorable lifestyle habits, with a particular focus on sleep and excessive digital device use. The program was conducted in each second-grade class. Additionally, activities at the junior high school and town A allowed us to collaborate with the Matsue City Board of Education and Youth Development Organization. They shared our concerns about adolescent lifestyles and digital device use.Conclusion Our activity provided health education on controlling digital device use and promoting favorable lifestyles using a peer education strategy. In the future, connecting related sectors and making the best use of local resources are desirable for developing activities for a broader area.

The National Cancer Center (NCC) assists in the planning and management of training sessions for cancer information specialists in each prefecture. However, whether the support currently provided meets these needs remains unclear. Therefore, this study clarified the difficulties faced and support sought by specialists in each prefecture to help the NCC tailor the content and direction of support for holding training sessions, which should be prioritized eventually.Methods We used data from training sessions held from 2020-2022 registered with the NCC. We aggregated information, such as the number of hours, target participants, and style of training sessions held. Data on participants' reactions, points that were directed careful attention during planning and managing training sessions, and required support were qualitatively and descriptively analyzed.Results From 2020-2022, 195 training sessions were held in each prefecture, with four (2%) held in multiple prefectures. Moreover, 172 (88%) were online training sessions, 147 (75%) were exclusive to participants within one prefecture, and 82 (49%) were training sessions with < 30 participants. The most common training topic was patient support, which occurred in 77 (40%) sessions. Based on the practical reports (free description) of the training sessions, the study identified the support from administrative staff, securing facilitators and participants, work burden associated with holding online training sessions, and securing a venue for consultation and information exchange.Conclusion Training sessions for cancer information specialists in each prefecture are vital for acquiring and updating information about the trends in prefectural policies and local characteristics. Furthermore, they strengthened connections among individuals responsible for planning and managing these training sessions. To support each prefecture, the NCC should eventually hold training sessions in multiple prefectures, establish a network, and share specific information on the training sessions held in each prefecture.</p>","PeriodicalId":72032,"journal":{"name":"[Nihon koshu eisei zasshi] Japanese journal of public health","volume":" ","pages":"477-485"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143568993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the factor analysis, two items were selected from each subscale based on their factor loadings to create a 6-item scale, and a 4-item scale was created, excluding two items from the health value subscale. We evaluated the reliability of the newly created shortened version, its correlation with the 12-item version, and its validity through correlations with health literacy (CCHL scale) and lifestyle habits (diet, exercise, alcohol consumption, and smoking).Results Cronbach's alpha was 0.72 and 0.80 for the 6- and 4-item scale, respectively.

Thus, we focused on community comprehensive support centers from the perspectives of their operators and users, examined the actualities and challenges of support team use, and considered ways to encourage such use.Methods A questionnaire survey was mailed to 2,000 community general support centers selected through evenly-spaced sampling from 5,625 centers in Japan. The survey was conducted from November to December 2022. The survey included basic attributes (institution and presence of a support team), number of times a support team was used, actual number of users, and issues with support team use. For the analysis, we defined centers with and without support teams as \"operators\" and \"users,\" respectively, and analyzed each group. The participants' demographic details and data related to the frequency of use of support teams were tabulated. Text mining was used to analyze free-field responses.Results A total of 773 responses were received (response rate; 38.8%). Among the respondents, 313 (41.5%) had support teams and 441 (58.4%) did not. The support team use rate was 86.6% for the former and 79.4% for the latter. In 2021, most respondents noted that approximately \"1-5 individuals\" used support teams, regardless of whether the support center had one.Challenges with support team use identified by centers without support teams were as follows; requirements of support recipients and rules for use under \"mechanisms of use,\" involvement of team doctors and expertise of team members under \"support functions,\" and collaborative support relationship and dissemination of project information under \"system for use.\" Support centers with support teams identified the following challenges; requirements of support recipients and management rules under \"management mechanisms,\" involvement of team doctors and healthcare collaboration under \"support functions,\" and team members role awareness and staff shortage under \"management system.\"Conclusion Many comprehensive centers infrequently used support teams. To promote support team use, the system must be reviewed from the operator and user perspectives to simplify the support team system's rules and ease the requirements for support recipients.

This study aimed to identify the factors related to PHNs' ability to implement programs across different career-level groups.Methods A self-administered questionnaire was administered to PHNs working in prefectures or cities with public health centers. PHNs were categorized into three career-level groups based on their seniority and position; novice with ≥ 5 years of experience, no-position with ≥ 6 years of experience without a position, and with-position with ≥ 6 years of experience holding a position. Simple regression analysis was conducted using the Implementation Degree Assessment Sheet (Okamoto et al., 2022; IDAS) score as the dependent variable and experience in developing new projects, learning experiences, horizontal development exposure, and PHNs' competency scale scores as independent variables. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted with the IDAS score as the dependent variable and statistically significant variables in the simple regression analysis as the independent variables. The competency measurement scales used were the Professional Development Scale (PDS), Reflective Practice Skill Scale (RPS), and Research Utilization Competency Scale (RUC).Results We obtained 702 out of 966 valid responses (72.7%). The overall mean IDAS scores was 115.7; 107.6 for novice PHNs, 111.3 for no-position PHNs, and 119.6 for with-position PHNs.

The analysis extracted and coded passages related to feelings in situations in which family caregivers sought support. By comparing and examining the meanings of the codes, we identified broader themes and developed categories iteratively.Results In the early stages after diagnosis, family caregivers were concerned about \"fear and anxiety about developing dementia at a young age,\" \"desire for any information about YOD,\" \"desire to continue currently as long as possible for the future,\" \"desire to protect the dignity of the individual with YOD as a member of society,\" \"hesitation to tell others that he/she has YOD,\" and \"desire to protect their life, mind, and body, which is still in the mid-life.\" These concerns prompted them to seek the support of others.Conclusion Family caregivers demonstrated earnest wishes for patients with YOD and themselves in the early stages after diagnosis. They dealt with unique YOD-related struggles, including prejudice, the impact on others, and personal hesitations. Seeking support helped alleviate negative feelings arising from the diagnosis process. Family support services should prioritize early outreach at diagnosis, proactively identify difficulties, and tailor them to patients and caregivers. The attitude of the support staff, who anticipate daily life challenges and approach the family, can significantly facilitate support-seeking by caregivers.</p>","PeriodicalId":72032,"journal":{"name":"[Nihon koshu eisei zasshi] Japanese journal of public health","volume":" ","pages":"369-377"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143048851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
