Research Abstract

Since the introduction of the long-term care insurance system in 2000, the structure that supports the elderly living at home or a residential facility is gradually being strengthened. The picture is now changing rapidly. There is extensive and varied interaction between the health profession and the welfare profession. The aims of this research were to identify (a) what kind of cooperative partnerships and (b) subsequent training needs of the professional development of the respondents.
This study employs mixed methods (interviews, focus groups and a survey) and forms of data analysis (qualitative and quantitative) to explore the experiences of the transition to working together. The health profession and the welfare profession not only evaluate their inter-professional co-operation differently. Care managers should include an understanding of this cultural diversity into the basis of their quality improvement efforts.
Survey instruments were received from 397 in-home care service organizations, giving a response rate of 40%. Systematic correspondence was planned for service improvement. Support was predominantly for semiannual conferences, with some support for continuing the training administrative agencies as a place by the staffs communication. While most organizations have policies for guiding their relationship with health and welfare professionals, it is unclear whether these are effective in preventing conflicts of maintaining public trust. They hold some problem in a relation between the other corporation organizations. It is suggested that health and welfare professionals have come under increasing pressure to work together.
