Background

The "Nursing Care Hula Dance" was developed based on PERMA and the four factors of happiness to improve the rehabilitation effects and well-being of elderly people in need of nursing care in Japan, the most aged country in the world, and has been held at 1,200 facilities and 22,000 people have participated.However, due to COVID-19, it is no longer possible to hold realistic events. Other methods are needed.

Aims

To change the " Nursing Care Hula Dance," which has been proven to be effective for relaxation, rehabilitation, and wellbeing, to an online event instead of a real event, and to achieve the same effects as the real event.

Method

Using the online conferencing tool "zoom," a comparison was made between the real event and the online event through preliminary meetings with facility care staff, icebreakers, communication, nursing hula dance, closing, and a questionnaire.

Results

Satisfaction, an indicator of relaxation and rehabilitation effectiveness, was 90.9% before COVID19, but dropped 11.9 points to 79% after the change to an online session after COVID-19. Therefore, improvements such as changing the camera, microphone, and lighting, reducing the talk speed, and lengthening the interval resulted in a rate of 89%, which was almost the same level of effectiveness as before COVID-19.

Conclusion

Although the satisfaction with the rehabilitation and relaxation effects decreased by changing the real event to the online event, it was found that the same level of effectiveness could be achieved by making some creative changes. It was also found that online can connect multiple local facilities and enable communication among the elderly, which is expected to help improve rehabilitation effectiveness and well-being in the future.
