Project of Keio Nursing 100th Anniversary

Coordinate Create Continue Community-based integrated care systems

Person in Charge of the Project : Shima IshikawaSeveral years have passed since the construction of a community-based integrated care system was first promoted. In recent years, self-help and mutual help power has received more attention. I focus on the power of private enterprises as a supporter to enhance self-help and mutual help among elderly people. With declining birthrate and increasing aging population, support to raise self-help and mutual aid among residents should be established as essential community "work" and both residents and supporters (private enterprises and labor generations) should be empowered. We explore ways of rooting this process in the community from a public health nursing perspective.
