The purpose of this research is to examine the changes in life of the families as well as the out-patoemts in the Toneyama National Hospital who undergo the home oxygen therapy (HOT). The results are as follows : 1) Almost all the patients wanted to recuperate at home for the benefits of freedom and the evasion from interaction with people, regardless of their types of families, their ages and activities of daily living (ADL). 2) Thirty-nine percent of the patients did not feel burdened by the oxygen concentrators used in HOT, while 37% felt burdened. 3) The patients who felt uncomfortable using the concentrators changed their sense of values in terms of status, income and rivalry more drastically than those who were not under stress. 4) Most patients involved in HOT showed a tendency toward an indoor life style, in which they were more inclined to stay home and watch TV than go out for a walk. Their families also became more involved in indoor activities such as doing housework and caring for patients. HOT enables to recuperate at home, but seems to limit the living activities of families as well as patients.
