A Study on Social Support Networks of Elderly Women in a Large Australian City

从2005年到2006年，我们在墨尔本对400名年龄在65岁到79岁之间的女性进行了采访调查。因为我们在调查上花费的研究经费比我们计划的要多，所以这些年我们负担不起将数据输入个人电脑的费用。我们在2007年做到了。冈山大学从2008年4月开始重建教育学院的建筑，我们的私人办公室有近一年的时间无法使用。由于这个意外事件，我们还没有检查输入的数据。重建工程于2009年3月结束，我们又开始使用我们的私人办公室。我们计划在2009年8月对数据进行检查，并从2009年9月开始分析数据并撰写论文。我们从400名女性中选取了15名老年女性进行调查，对这15名女性的日常生活和个人网络进行了详细的访谈，并将访谈内容录制成磁带。Nobe分析了采访数据并写了一些文章。

We conducted an interview survey to 400 women between 65 and 79 in Melbourne from 2005 to 2006. Because we spent much more research fund on the survey than we had planned, we could not afford to have the data entered in a personal computer in these years. We did it in 2007. Okayama University started to reconstruct buildings of Faculty of Education from April, 2008 and we could not use our private office for nearly one year. Because of this unexpected incident, we have not had the entered data inspected yet. The reconstruction ended in March, 2009 and we have come to utilise our private office again. We are planning to have the data inspected in August, 2009 and to start analising the data and writing papers from September, 2009.We selected 15 elderly women out of the 400 women, to whom we conducted the survey, interviewed these 15 women on their daily life and personal networks in detail and recorded the interviews on tapes. Nobe analysed the interview data and wrote some articles.
