Outline of Final Research Achievements

Most of them suggest that the care burden of primary caregivers causes elderly abuse in Japan. Although primary caregivers taking improper care of aged care recipients are not generally chemically dependent, no previous study has examined the concept of codependency. The purpose of this study was to discern improper care by caregivers with codependency , examine their characteristics , and clarify their care.
The subjects were 175 of 199 clients of 600 home visiting nursing agencies registered with the national association for home-visit nursing care. We analyzed 175 clients after excluding 29 with incomplete responses, 11 from closed agencies , and 13 non-responders.Primary caregivers with codependency scores of more than 20 points had more than 40 points on elder abuse scores.Primary caregivers with codependency scores fewer than 20 points loved care recipients more thatn primary caregivers with higher scores.
