조사방법 차에에 따른 노부모 부양자의 갈등 지각 비교

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to show differences in conflicts perceived by two different data-collecting groups [i. e., FFI (face-to-face interview) group and SAQ (self-administered questionnaire) group] of daughters-in-law who cared for elderly parents. Cognitive deficiency, ADL and IADL of the elderly parents, and CES-D, Family caregiving strain and Self-rated health for the daughters-in-law were measured on two groups. The SAQ group reported lower levels of the elderly parents` factors such as cognitive function and IADL, and higher levels of depression and caregiving strain than did the FFI group. These results suggested that different research outcomes might be dependent upon different data-collecting techniques. Since family caregiving for the elderly parents in Korea is highly related with cultural norm, caregivers would tend to show socially desirable responses when they were asked about the family caregiving.
