Research Abstract |
Two researches were carried out. The objects of the first research carried out in 1992 were the severely physically disabled people, general inhabitants and patents of the severly physically disabled children in both Hachioji and Machida cities in Tokyo. The results were compared serially with those of the research which had been carried out in 1983-1984 by M.Watanabe, beeing subsidized by the same Grant-in-Aid. The objects of the second research were 381 organization bodies all over Japan which have been offering the welface services (home-help and care sercices) for people at home. Main results are as follows ; (1) Through serial comparative analysis, new research concepts used in these research, for instance family-living, school-career, social stratificatioin, and so on, are effications. Above all, consciousness of the disabled people has been changing for nearly a decade to rather bachwards, notwithstanding their independent movement have developed. This trend is also observed in the chart of Hayashi's quantificatioin theory class 4. (2) The welface services offered by the disabled people concerned have been broader and deeper than the services by any other organization bodies. This is a proof of beeing capable to make the services universalistic, following the original meaning by R.M.Titmuss, But the networks with medical care, nursing and health care are not sufficient, and the perspective of community welface is not adequatet. Therefore in Japan considererable efforts must be devoted to catch up with community welface in western countries.
