To structure care managers' approaches (upright) to and awareness (oblique) of nutritional improvement for care-dependent older people, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 care managers in Japan. Concerning nutritional improvement for care-dependent older people, the care managers, managing older people with [mental and physical dysfunctions due to a decline in the nutritional status] and consequently [realizing the association between their nutritional status and mental and physical functions] developed dilemmas, while perceiving [distress due to problems care managers cannot resolve alone] as a result of [insufficient nutrition education through care manager training]. Although they perceived [distress due to problems care managers cannot resolve alone], they continued to adopt approaches, such as [devising measures for nutritional management from the perspective of a care manager] and [assessing nutritional status based on the living conditions and body weight]. However, the results also revealed their dilemmas due to [difficulty in accurately assessing nutritional status], suggesting [the importance of performing nutritional management through collaboration with other professionals and services].

“…1) We have studied "malnutrition" and increased the necessity for care and clarified causes of the lack of improvement in "malnutrition" in older people by pointing out problems including the insufficiency of awareness of workers providing long-term care insurance survices, 2) relationship between the nutritional state and decline of physical/mental functions in older people requiring nursing care, 3) and the absence of nutritional education for care managers. 4) Concerning cooperation for "improving nutrition", we proposed the necessity of organic cooperation by the standardization of assessment and utilization of ICT. 5) We further clarified the relationship between "food type" and independence of physical/mental functions in older people requiring nursing care for the realization of "nutritional improvement" in the local comprehensive care system in Japan.…”

The world continues to struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic, and there is concern over the increase in the needs of older people for nursing care. In this study, the relationships of the "tooth condition" with mobility and cognitive function were investigated in 1,000 residents of 14 special elderly nursing homes. In those using well-fitting dentures, the percentage of those capable of independent indoor mobility was highest at 21.6%, and the percentages of those able to communicate (66.2%), understand routines (47.5%), state their own age (36.2%), remember recent events (45.0%), state their own name (85.7%), understand seasons (43.7%), and understand places (46.4%) were significantly higher than in those in other "tooth conditions". This study clarified the relationships of the "tooth condition" with mobility and cognitive function, and maintaining an adequate "tooth condition" was suggested to contribute to the prevention of a condition requiring long-term nursing care.

We compared awareness of functional recovery care among employees of welfare facilities for older persons in Japan and South Korea, with the aim of obtaining basic materials to develop an education program for functional recovery care, which is also useful for other countries. We conducted a questionnaire survey in both countries, sending 2,000 and 254 copies of a questionnaire to 200 Japanese and 5 Korean facilities, respectively, and obtaining 540 (valid response rate: 27.0%) and 220 (86.6%) valid responses from them, respectively. An older age, higher proportion of non-regular employees, and similar or higher level of awareness of the necessity of expertise and support were characteristic of Korean compared with Japanese care workers. The results support the feasibility of providing education for functional recovery care based on basic medicine in South Korea. It may be necessary to develop a practical education program for the dissemination of functional recovery care through active collaboration with Korean researchers. ＜Key-words＞ functional recovery care (FRC), Japan, South Korea, employees of welfare facilities for older persons, education program
