THE RELATIONSHIP OF FAMILY CAREGIVERS' "SEKENTEI" TO USE OF SOCIAL AND NURSING SERVICES AND CARE BURDEN.

本研究的目的是改进skentei（指一个人对他人观察自己行为的自我意识水平，以及对试图满足感知到的社会规范（如家庭成员）的关注）的测量，并澄清skentei的关系。这与护理者拒绝使用服务和护理负担有关。新量表具有较好的信度和效度。Sekentei是一个预测的照顾负担，即使它是不是强大的，而Sekentei和不愿意使用服务之间没有显着的关系。可以推测，照顾者较强的sekentei感（基于有关孝顺的社会规范）使他们坚持在困难的情况下，他们有很大的照顾负担。研究结果显示，照顾者负担是影响照顾者负担的重要因素。

The purposes of this study were to improve a measure of skentei (which refers to the level of a person's self-consciousness of others observing one's behaviors and concerns for trying to meet perceived social norms such as family caregiving), and to clarify the relationship of. sekentei to resistance to use services and care burden among the caregivers. The new scale showed satisfactory reliability and validity. Sekentei was a predictor of care burden, even though it was not powerful, whereas there was no significant relationship between Sekentei and reluctance to use services. It may be presumed that the caregivers' stronger sense of sekentei (based on the social norms regarding filial caregiving) causes them to persist in difficult situations in which they have a great care burden. Results suggest that sekentei is an important factor related to caregiver burden.
