地域在住高齢者における家庭内役割の認識—半構造化面接による質的分析

Perceptions of domestic roles among community-dwelling elderly: Qualitative analyses with semi-structured interviews

要旨：本研究の目的は，地域在住高齢者の家庭内役割に対する認識を明らかにすることである．要介護認定が非該当であり，日常生活活動が自立している地域在住高齢者5名に対し，家庭内役割の認識に関する半構造化面接を行い，質的データ分析法を行った．その結果，最終コードとして【家族との相互関係における貢献意識】【日常生活における役割の継続性と習慣性】【役割に対する個人の価値観とその変化】【役割遂行に伴う感情の二面性】を抽出した．これらの4つの視点を踏まえながら家庭内役割を捉え，役割の継続に向けた具体的な方略を検討することが重要であると考える．

　The purpose of this study is to clarify the perceptions of domestic roles among community-dwelling elderly. Semi-structured interviews regarding perceptions of domestic roles were conducted with five community-dwelling elderly who were not certified as requiring long-term care and were independent in their activities of daily living. Qualitative data analyses was performed, and the following final codes were extracted: [Awareness of contribution in family relationships], [Continuity and habitual nature of roles in daily life], [Individual values and changes regarding roles], and [Ambivalence of emotions associated with role performance]. Considering these four perspectives, it is essential to understand domestic roles and explore specific strategies to sustain them.
