ひきこもり状態にある人の問題行動が活動範囲に与える影響  [in Japanese] Correlation between Problem Behaviors and Field of Activity of Individuals with Hikikomori  [in Japanese]

目的: ひきこもり状態にある人の活動範囲に影響を与える要因を明らかにすることを目的とした.対象・方法: ひきこもり状態にある人の家族473名を対象にひきこもり状態にある人の活動範囲とひきこもり行動チェックリストに回答を求めた.結果: (1)活動範囲をカテゴリカル主成分分析によって「対人交流のある場所」と「利用自由な場所」に分類したところ,「利用自由な場所」への外出頻度が高かった.(2)1日あたりの外出時間が長く抑うつが強いほど「対人交流のある場所」への外出が多い.(3)1カ月あたりの外出日数が多いほど「利用自由な場所」への外出が多く,家族回避行動が強いほど「利用自由な場所」への外出が少ない.(4)攻撃的行動が多いほど1カ月あたりの外出日数が多く,生活が不規則であるほど1カ月あたりの外出日数が少ない.結論: ひきこもり状態にある人と家族の関係や攻撃行動に焦点を当てた介入によって,ひきこもり状態にある入の利用自由な場所への外出が促進される可能性が示唆された.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors which have influence on field of activity of individuals with serious social withdrawal (Hikikomori). Subjects and method : Four hundreds seventy three families of the individuals with Hikikomori were requested to complete a set of the field of activity of the individuals with Hikikomori and the Hikikomori Behavior Checklist. Results : (1) The field of activity was classified into "personal relationship place" and "free-for-all place", and the going-out frequency per month to "free-for-all place" was higher than the other place. (2) The going-out time per day and "depression" were positively correlated to the going to "personal relationship place". (3)The going- out frequency per month was positively, "avoidance from family members" was negatively correlated to the going to "free-for-all place". (4) "Aggressive behavior" was positively, "unsteady life pattern" was negatively correlated to going-out frequency per month. Conclusion : This study suggested the importance of interventions for the relationship between the individuals with "Hikikomori" and the families, and for "aggressive behavior". The interventions promote the individuals with Hikikomori to go to the "free-for-all place". The interventions may be opportunity to improve the Hikikomori.
