放課後等デイサービスにおける保護者およびスタッフ視点の児童の課題・目標に関する探索的研究

Abstract

In after-school daycare services, understanding and sharing the goals and challenges of children with their parents and staff leads to effective support. This study aimed to clarify these goals and issues from the perspectives of parents and staff to propose rehabilitation issues. [Participants and Methods] The target group consisted of 10 parents and five staff members, and the goals and tasks of 10 children were surveyed using an openended questionnaire. The responses were analyzed using the open coding method, in which the contents of the openended statements were coded, categories were extracted, and the results were organized into short-term and long-term goals and tasks. [Results] Parents and staff members had different perceptions of short-term goals and issues, whereas many of the long-term goals and issues were related to employment for both. [Conclusion] The future rehabilitation issues included bridging the gap between parents and staff in terms of short-term goals and issues, and promoting appropriate support for children to work or go on to higher education in terms of long-term goals and issues.
