Multi-ethnic Aging and Cultural Needs Within Japan's Long-Term Care Insurance System

PI以空间概念为核心，为健康老龄化增添了新的维度。在多民族老龄化中，空间在提供归属感方面起着至关重要的作用。空间，在日常生活文化的强调下，创造了一个舒适、安全感和意义的领域。研究的另一个扩展是使用视觉材料来展示空间的时间和空间边界、运动、速度、障碍及其可能的替代用途。叙述——讲述人生阶段的故事，反思，构建一个线性的、有意义的叙述，为自主感增加了一个重要的维度。这种分析是通过汇编视觉效果和结合参与者的叙述来发展的。PI于2022年12月制作了一部名为《日、年、生活——日本老龄化的故事——纪录片》的纪录片。《一天》拍摄了一年多的时间，记录了一对日本老夫妇对人生各个阶段的思考，他们面临着日益脆弱和衰老的身体挑战，以及对未来的不确定性。从他们所学到的技艺中发挥出最好的一面，他们在日常生活的基础中找到了安慰。他们讲述了从童年记忆到青年时期寻找生命意义、进入成年期以及成长为社会角色的复杂过程。医疗保健、住房、社会保障、退休养老金、社会福利权利、经济不安全、护理、疾病负担、行动不便和残疾等关键主题是纪录片和研究中阐明的许多老龄化挑战中的一些。

PI has added a new dimension to healthy aging focusing on the concept of space. Within multi-ethnic aging, space plays a crucial role providing a sense of belonging. Space, within the emphasis of everyday life-culture, creates a realm of comfort, sense of security, and meaning.Another expansion of study is the usage of visual material to demonstrate temporal and spatial boundaries of space, movement, pace, barriers and their possible alternative usage. Narration-- telling stories of life stages, reflection, and structuring a linear, meaningful narrative adds an important dimension to a sense of autonomy. This analysis was developed through the process of compiling visuals and incorporating the narratives of participants.PI, in December 2022, produced a documentary titled "Day, Year, Life -- Story of Aging in Japan -- A Documentary."A day, captured over a year, documents a Japanese elderly couple and their contemplation on stages of life, encountering physical challenges of growing fragility and aging, and uncertainty of the future. Pulling the best out of their learned craft, they find comfort in the basics of everyday routine. They narrated the complexities of aging from memories of childhood, searching for life's meaning during youth, maturing into adulthood and growing into societal roles. Such crucial themes of health care, housing, social security retirement pension, social welfare entitlements, economic insecurities, care-giving, burden of disease, immobility, and disability are some of the many challenges of aging elucidated in the documentary and in the study.
