本研究调查了接受外国医护人员护理的日本老年人所表达的感激之情，以及跨文化护理对成功老龄化的影响。通过半结构化访谈和问卷包，其中包括老年抑郁量表（GDS），有意义的生活量表，一项评估健康状况的措施，并与外国护理人员的关系问题，从老年人的护理设施，没有外国医护人员收集数据。半结构式访谈的结果表明，老年人对外国医护人员的积极态度。此外，与外籍医护人员关系中的“正面感受”因素对GDS得分有显著影响。得出的结论是，在护理机构工作的外国保健工作改善了老年人的福祉，有助于成功老龄化。
The appreciation expressed by older Japanese adults receiving care from foreign health care workers and the influence of cross-cultural care on successful aging were investigated. Data were collected from older adults in care facilities with and without foreign health care workers through semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire packet that included the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), the Meaningful Life Scale, a measure assessing perceived health status, and questions on relations with foreign care workers. The results of semi-structured interviews indicated that older adults had positive attitudes about foreign health care workers. Moreover, the “positive feelings” factor in the relationships with foreign health care workers significantly affected the GDS score. It was concluded that foreign health care working in care facilities improved older adults’ well-being and contributed to successful aging.
