The first author has been practicing Snoezelen (MSE) for the elderly with dementia for several years. One year ago, two occupational therapists were assigned to other facilities operated by our corporation. The first author has been responsible for providing support to the two occupational therapists such as advice regarding the intervention skills. To provide support that was more tailored to the needs of the two occupational therapists, we conducted semi-structured interviews regarding the current status of their Snoezelen (MSE) practices. The interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Six themes emerged from coding and categorizing the content: "The effects of Snoezelen (MSE) practice on users", "Current status of Snoezelen (MSE) practice and problem solving", "Current situation and solutions regarding the user's living environment", "Creating the user's living environment that incorporates Snoezelen (MSE)", "Hopes and solutions for training and research support programs", and "Management issues for successful practice". Although the two occupational therapists felt that Snoezelen (MSE) was effective, they also felt that there were problems with organizing sessions and introducing it to the living environment. In the future, we plan to revise the Snoezelen (MSE)practical support program for the elderly with dementia to meet their needs more effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
