Abstract:

Background: Avoiding inappropriate care transition and enabling people with chronic diseases to die at home have become important health policy issues. Availability of palliative home care services may be related to dying at home. Aim: After controlling for the presence of hospital beds and primary care physicians, we examined the association between availability of home palliative care services and dying at home in conditions requiring such services. Design: Death certificate data in Japan in 2016 were linked with regional healthcare statistics. Setting/participants: All adults (18 years or o

Abstract:

In 1990, palliative care services in Japan entered a new era when the national government authorized medical insurance cover for hospice care. Within the last decade, gradual yet remarkable progress has taken place in the perception of the need for palliative care services in Japan. The first Japanese hospice opened in 1981, followed by three other hospices over a nine-year period. These have been well received both by the public and medical professionals, although many difficulties have been encountered in establishing them. It is hoped that further development will include an increase in the

Abstract:

For several years, demographic trends and changing ideas about responsibilities for elder care in Japan have contributed to the desire, or need, for families to seek out new care approaches. This article focuses on one alternative to traditional approaches to caring for elder family members—the home-helper program that is available through the Japanese long-term care insurance program. Using ethnographic data collected in northern Japan, it will be argued that the home-helper program forms a compensatory elder care system that is intended to augment family-provided care and social support, rat

Abstract:

A central feature of Japan’s approach to community-based care of the elderly, including long-term home health care, is the emphasis on providing bath facilities. For mobile elders, senior centers typically provide a public bathing facility in which people can enjoy a relaxing soak along with friends who also visit the centers. In terms of in-home long-term care, visiting bath services are provided to assist family care providers with the difficult task of bathing a frail or disabled elder—a task made more problematic as a result of the Japanese style of bathing.

Abstract:

Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI), introduced in Japan in 2000, is rapidly turning into a system of rationed benefits due to financial difficulty. Based on our survey of 2,530 family care-givers and the Zarit Care-Giver Burden Index, we have examined how LTCI is affecting their subjective burden. We have found that, as Kishida and Tanigaki (2004) had shown, (i) insufficient provision of short-term stays, day services and home-helper services, as well as (ii) disruptive or antisocial behaviors of the elderly, increase the care-giver's burden.

The government of Japan formulated measures to significantly reduce the number of hospital beds for long-term care in 2006. In particular, long-term care hospital beds covered by long-term care insurance (sanatorium medical facilities) were to be abolished in 2012, and existing sanatorium medical facilities were to be converted into long-term care insurance services such as geriatric health services facilities. However, the conversion did not progress in spite of various support measures, and the deadline for abolishment was extended. In order to clarify the reason for this, we selected 28 hos

Introduction: Since the long-term care insurance system (LTCIS) was introduced in Japan in 2000, both the number of the eligible recipients of care and the total cost of the system have been risen from 2.18 million to 6.44 million, three times, over the past 18 years. In view of the sustainability of this system, the most recent discussions on this system have considered restricting recipients' access to services. The principle of the manegement measures should be the optimisation of each recipients' long-term care services, but the basis for 'optimisation' remains unclear. This study focuses

Abstract:

Currently, Japan is rapidly aging. Japanese government agencies report that the percentage of elderly people whose ages are at least 65 years will increase by up to about 30 percent in 2025. As one of the measures towards this situation, the community-based integrated healthcare system will be introduced in Japan. The system aims to provide elderly people living at home with appropriate health, medical, and welfare services. We focus on the burden of sharing information on the situation of the elderly at home among health, medical, welfare staffs, and neighbors. We have been developing a suppo

Abstract:

Recently, the Japanese government is actively advocating the form of facilities for the elders, the small multi-care facilities, which is in close relation with the residents in surrounding communities. It is to provide diverse services for the elders mainly by daytime caring, as well as the night accommodation, residence and home caring. This paper mainly introduces the background of these facilities, design concept and key points in design, to provide reference for designing and building of facilities in our country.

Abstract:

In Japan, it is common for individual elderly patients requiring long-term care to use multiple home care services in order to continue living at home. However, the details of the services provided and patients’ conditions at the time of care are not shared among the service providers. To address this issue, our research team aims to develop a website that collectively manages care information, predicts declines in activities of daily living (ADL) based on artificial intelligence (AI) analysis, and if necessary, automatically sends reports to service providers and the care manager in cha

Abstract:

Family caregivers’ sense of security benefits older adults who receive home care. Advance care planning (ACP) is reported to affect family caregivers’ experience positively, but it might differ depending on family caregivers’ kin relationships with the older adults. This study aimed to investigate whether ACP for older adults in home care settings is associated with family caregivers’ sense of security and whether such an association depends on the family caregivers’ status as spouses or adult children. Clarifying this association may offer practical support for implementing ACP while maintain

Abstract:

Abstract In Japan, despite the greater availability of public care services upon implementation of national long-term care insurance, families are still considered as primarily responsible to make care arrangement for older adults. My aim in this study was to explore (hetero)normative ideas about families that underlie Japan’s institutionalized practices of elder care. In doing so, I focused on care managers, who are certified care practitioners helping families to make care arrangement, and whether they would count older adults’ same-sex partners as legitimate family members to participate in

This article explores social and political dimensions associated with providing care for elders in South Korea. We look at changes in welfare policy since the 1980s and discuss the emergence of a long-term care insurance program in Korea similar to the program promulgated in Japan in 2000. We argue that while the status of South Korean elderly is undergoing change as new policies provide opportunities for elders to move from positions of dependency to increased independence as consumers of health care services, there are some reasons for concern.

Abstract:

In Korea, the demand of care services for the older adults is increasing significantly due to the rapid aging of the population. However, the number of caregivers who can provide the services is also rapidly decreasing, resulting in failing to keep up with the demand. Recently, the Korean government began to consider importing foreign workers into the older adults’ care sector to respond to this situation. Accordingly, this study analyzed cases from neighboring countries to seek ways to import the foreign workers into the sector in Korea. Specifically, following the analyses of the cases of Ta

Japan has the world’s fastest-aging population. The number of older adults living alone has increased rapidly; however, the number of people waiting for nursing care facilities is high, especially in urban areas, and home care is unavoidable. Few studies have focused on older adults living alone who require nursing care, and almost no reports have examined the factors influencing the continuation or discontinuation of living alone. Furthermore, no reports were found that classified nursing care levels for the survey. This study’s purpose was to clarify what kind of long-term care for older adu

The current study examined the relationship between home visiting nurses’ job stress and error incidents to provide a better understanding of risk management for home visiting nursing services. Home visiting nurses often perform patient care alone, under great mental and physical stress, increasing the risk of human error when executing tasks. A mail survey was distributed to 437 home visiting nurses working at agencies in 71 locations in Japan. The questionnaires were anonymously completed and included items on career history, experiences of job stress, and experiences of incidents. Answers w

The Japanese health-care system has tended to support resource-intensive treatments because the fee-for-service remuneration system has rewarded their utilization. This has benefited hemodialysis at the expense of peritoneal dialysis. However, this may now be changing. Case management and global budget-related

ABSTRACTAs Japan faces the challenge of the increasing demand for home care from its ageing population in an era of economic constraints, the expectation has evolved that the voluntary sector will fill the shortfall in statutory provision through semi-volunteers providing affordable home care. Drawing on qualitative interviews with managers from 15 voluntary organisations, this article explores their experiences in trying to meet this expectation. Even though most organisations provided supplementary home-care services, the empirical evidence indicates a limited capacity to deliver this expect
