A contribution of news items to the attitude of Japanese care giver for the frail elderly.

我们制作了两种朝日报纸来描述和发现新闻项目对接受者的居家养老理念的贡献。第一个数据库是在1950年至1997年朝日新闻数据库中搜索一些关键词后，通过与老年人有关的主要文章建立起来的。另一个数据库是1957年至1996年每年敬老日（9月15日）整版的有关老人的新闻。主要文章被认为是反映了朝日公司对当时的政策或社会问题的看法。我们将敬老节的主要文章分为三组，1组被认为有制度化方向，3组被认为有居家护理方向，2组被认为没有方向。第一组在这四十年中只出现过一次。第3组最早出现在1970年，1975年再次出现，此后经常出现。并编制了一些关键词，统计了每个关键词所涉及的新闻数量。在70年代，焦虑感、老年自杀、住宅狭小、与媳妇的关系、生活困难等都是论文关注的问题。在1980年代，体弱多病的老人、照顾者的负担、配偶、家庭角色等都是人们关心的问题。在20世纪90年代，老年人接受照顾和死亡的地方是一个令人关注的问题。每天都有读者来信，所以敬老节的信都要仔细阅读。书信显示，在90年代，居家养老总体上被认为是一种理想，这是朝日报纸所显示的方向，也是一项国家政策，但对于居家养老家庭来说，这是一个艰难的选择。据认为，新闻项目往往有助于照顾住在家里的老年人的概念。

We made two kinds of from Asahi newspaper to describe and find a contribution of news items to the recipient's concept of care for older adults living at home. The first database was made by leading articles touching upon the elderly following search for some key words from Asahi database 1950 to 1997. The other database was made by news touching upon the elderly over the whole papers on every Respect for the Aged Day (15_<thf> of September) from 1957 to 1996.Leading articles is considered that they show the opinion to policy or a social problem at that time as Asahi Company. We classified every leading articles on Respect for the Aged Day in three groups, 1 is the group judged to have direction for the titutionalization, 3 is the group judged to have direction for the home care, 2 is the group judged to have no direction. Group 1 appeared only once during these forty years. Group 3 appeared on 1970 at first, then reappeared on 1975 and often appeared after this.Also some key words were worked out and the number of news judged to involve every key word were counted. In the 1970's, feeling of anxiety suicide of aged, narrowness of residential house, relationship with a daughter-in-law, difficulty of living etc were a matter of concern on the paper. In the 1980's, frail elderly, a burden of care giver, a spouse, family role, etc were a matter of concern. In the 1990's, the place where elderly receive care and dying was a matter of concern.Letters from a reader are run every day so letters on Respect for the Aged Day were read carefully. Letters showed that in general, home care was considered as an ideal in the 1990's, which was the direction showed by Asahi paper and a national policy but for the caring family, it was told to he a hard choice. It was considered that news items had a tendency to contribute to the concept of care for older adults living at home.
