| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to understand the experiences of male caregivers who care for their elderly spouses and parents by prefecture in Japan and to examine ways of providing support based on prefectural characteristics.
A postal questionnaire survey was conducted for nursing care managers in eight prefectures. The result shows that the percentage of male caregivers is 11.1% in Hokkaido, 12.4% in Iwate, 11.7% in Tokyo, 12.3% in Toyama, 13.7% in Shizuoka, 12.3% in Hiroshima, 10.5% in Nagasaki, and 10.3% in Okinawa. It also shows regional characteristics in terms of their age, family relationship, household status, services they use, and their needs, etc. It is necessary to enhance support appropriate to the actual situations in each prefecture by taking into consideration disparities in demographic factors, economy, transportation, nursing-care service agencies, service providers, human resources, etc.
