Japan has already become the world's first super-aged society. The advent of super-aged society has increased the possibility that the elderly population may have more than one or multiple disabilities. Multiple disabilities generally refer to the state that people have two or more disabilities, but has not clearly defined yet. In other words, there is no standardized definition of the multiple disabilities in the whole world including Japan, because they can be differently defined according to the types of disabilities and pertinent laws or systems. This study aimed to define the multiple disabilities by introducing the ways to define it and trying to produce the standardized definition as Multimorbidity and Multiple Disabilities (MMD). Since the ways to define MMD including the types and degrees of disabilities may make the future for persons with MMD greatly different, they should be taken seriously. Furthermore, to respond with the rehabilitation needs of persons with MMD, the human resources need to be cultivated and the scientific basis needs to be built.

Social service, both in name and reality, was introduced in 2007 to make more jobs in Korea, along with its budget, workforce in this field increasing continuously. Despite its growth, social service in Korea has some concerning issues. One of them is that social service virtually caters only to the poor, and the other is the limited scope of social service to care services. In this paper two solutions are suggested. First, eliminating the income standard when selecting beneficiaries so that more people can have access to social service. It can invigorate the market of social service and encourage both provider and consumer to exchange their service and demand. It can also respond to increasing social needs, and create decent jobs. Second, operating the social service in the same way as social security system. It can be more realistic, considering political and financial aspects. This study has its limitations; that it considered only the two problems mentioned above. However, this study mainly covers rising social demands caused by economic depression, low birthrate, and the aging society.

Cognitive impairment is a defining feature of dementia caused by neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cerebrovascular disease. The combination of different protective factors of healthy cognitive aging might be most promising when attempting to delay cognitive decline and preserve cognitive abilities. Particularly, the combination of cognitive and physical activity has attracted increasing interest. But there is no review on the effects of exercise, cognitive intervention, and combined exercise and cognitive intervention in patients with cognitive impairment and AD and it is not cleared what is the best therapeutic intervention for these patients. 26 studies were identified in this review, most studies assessed general cognitive state such as MMSE or ADAS-Cog. Several studies indicated negative results included exercise, cognitive intervention, and combined exercise and cognitive intervention. Combination therapy may be plays an important role in enhancing cognitive function. The mechanisms of benefit from individual and combined physical and cognitive interventions are not clear, it has been postulated that physical and mental activity may therefore have potential to improve cognitive function. More research is needed to study the effect of combined non-pharmacological interventions in older adults with cognitive impairment.

This study tried to verify effectiveness of treatments for children who received Early Intervention Service (EIS) for children with problem behaviour. The research evaluated the validity of treatment service in improvement of problem behaviour in the areas of internalizing, externalizing, attention and sociality, and verified differences of effectiveness between methods of treatment. One hundred and ninety seven children participated in this study. They received the treatment services from 5 different branches of H Center, specialized center for emotional and psychological treatment, which was providing EIS on problem behaviour. According to the analysis of pre-post test on problem behaviours, the treatment which EIS centre provided had positive influence on behaviours change of object children, especially Play Therapy and Art Therapy made greater improvement of children’s behaviours. These results suggest the need of continuous study and development in intervention programs related to Play Therapy and Art Therapy.

The intensive-care homes for the elderly and health services facilities for the aged that accommodate many elderly people who are vulnerable to disasters and needs care and assistance during the period of emergency evacuation need to be prepared for the damages of disasters. This study aimed to analyze the effects of the experiences of employees whose facility was suffered from damages from disasters on the preparation for disaster prevention by investigating the consciousness of disaster prevention and mitigation for the employees of nursing care insurance facilities. The results of this study showed that the employees of facilities who experienced the damages from disasters presented the strong anxiety to them and those experiences were reflected in the preparation for evacuation and disasters prevention. 10% of facilities had the experiences from the damages from disasters. The safety degree of facilities were relatively high, but the majority of facilities did not provide the explanation about the emergency evacuation in disaster situations.
