Description

Objective To examine the effectiveness of a program promoting network building between disciplinary agencies and informal community organizations (ICOs) comprising community residents, by implemention with staff of a community comprehensive support center (CCSC).<br/>Methods The program was implemented for nine staff of a CCSC in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo for a year. For process evaluation, items were assessed concerning the contents of the program such as satisfaction and understandability, participants' goal attainment level at each period of the program, and program satisfaction as a whole. Outcome evaluation included measurement of participants' self-efficacy regarding network building with ICOs before and after the program, using interviews of the members who completed the program.<br/>Result Eight out of the nine participants completed the program. All positively evaluated the contents of the program and their own goal attainment at each period of the program. After its completion, they felt highly satisfied. Moreover, there was an improvement in the cognition of the participants, including self-efficacy on network building with ICOs and the atmosphere in the CCSC with regard to network building.<br/>Conclusion The efficacy of this program could be confirmed as demonstrated by the staff of the CCSC, although a more detailed assessment of validity and effectiveness will be necessary in the future.
