    We have developed an "index of awareness of abuse" for visiting nurses to recognize the abuse of children with severe physical and mental disabilities at home. We confirmed its validity and reliability. The index consisted of 38 scenes of abuse in short sentences. To determine its validity, we conducted a Delphi survey of visiting nurses who had experience in dealing with abuse nationwide. As a result, more than 70% agreed on the validity of all index items. The reliability was investigated in two groups, 9 experienced visiting nurses and 9 inexperienced visiting nurses. I had them watch the abuse video (self-made). At that time, we used indicators to confirm the awareness of abuse, the presence or absence of cognition, and the degree of cognition, and examined the concordance rate. The concordance rate for awareness and cognition was 100-82.2%. It was confirmed that even inexperienced visiting nurses can recognize abuse by using the indicators.

    This study was conducted with the aim of developing measures to promote health checkup behaviors pertaining to the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases based on cognitive behavior theories. We first developed a scale to measure the health beliefs regarding health checkup behaviors pertaining to the prevention of lifestyle-related disease; this scale comprised 28 items based on 4 factors and was confirmed to be related to health checkup behaviors through prospective investigation. Furthermore, we examined the determinants of health checkup behaviors based on cognitive behavior theories. As a result, it was suggested that strengthening “Reinforcing factors” and “Intention to Perform the Behavior” is effective in advancing “the Stage of Behavior Change” and promoting health checkup behaviors. In addition, based on these findings, in one municipality, we examined the related factors in a specific health checkup and developed a promotional intervention for the health checkups.
