| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop the Help-seeking Preference Scale for elderly and to investigate the factors correlated with help-seeking preference among the elderly living alone. The results indicated 2 factors consisting of 10 items: desire to receive supports (6 items), and reluctance to receive supports (4 items). The test-retest reliability and the criterion-related validity of two factors were enough to use. The result suggests that that the subjects' financial circumstance influences the attitude toward receiving support from others. Moreover, while the willingness to receive support was positively correlated with the decline in physical performances, the reluctance to receive support was positively correlated with weak social ties. In this study, a new scale measuring help seeking preference among the elderly was developed. This scale can be expected to use as a check list in the future.
