“…The principal diagnostic categories reported in our study are in line with previous studies (Lehman et al 1986;Zissi and Barry 1997;Fenton et al 1998;Hyman 2000;de Girolamo et al 2005;Kim et al 2006) showing that besides psychosis, mood and personality disorders are frequently reported among patients admitted to residential facilities.…”

“…It is embedded in how Koreans think and behave because Confucianism assumes that every behavior and word affects one's self-respect. Because of these cultural values, there is a lack of formal services, including home care and nursing homes (Kim et al 2006), since there is resistance to using such services. Cultural values also traditionally lead to the avoidance of discussions about death, which makes planning and referral to HPC challenging.…”

By 2050, one out of four people in Eastern Asia will be aged 65 and above. Thus, preparing to care for an older population is imperative. Addressing quality care for elders includes consideration of palliative and end-of-life care. A comparative study of the development of hospice and palliative care services in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, is presented, based on an extensive literature review. Both commonalities and differences were found. This article provides information on the origins and administration of hospice services in these three cases, as well as the degree of government involvement. Cultural and religious aspects are also considered, and obstacles to the spread of hospice services are discussed. This review compares experiences with hospice services and identifies factors that influence people's perceptions and adoption of hospice. Stronger financial support for hospice and palliative care through the government and insurance programs would help increase the availability and use of services. Also, the need for continuing education of healthcare providers, patients, families, and the community is urgent. However, promotion of understanding of better pain management and the worth of hospice and palliative care must be conducted in ways that are sensitive to the cultural values and traditions in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Only when hospice and palliative care can be viewed as an admirable choice for one's loved ones, overcoming issues of truth telling, filial piety, worries about how one is judged, and religious considerations, will it become more widely accepted.

“…Studies reveal that variables associated with both the positive and negative aspects of caregiving can be grouped into three categories (Kim, Cho, & June, 2006;Sorensen, Pinquart, & Duberstein, 2002;Stoltz, Uden, & Willman, 2004): (a) variables related to the health needs of the care recipient such as disability in activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), cognitive impairment, emotional distress, and behavior problems; (b) demographic variables of the care recipient such as gender, education, and marital status; and (c) variables that reflect multiple components of the care arrangement.…”

This study examined the effects of behavioral and cognitive components of care on caregivers' psychological distress among adult children who were the primary caregivers of frail older adults living in the community in Hong Kong. The sample was drawn from a 2008 data set that was used to determine the eligibility for long-term care in Hong Kong. Logistic regressions evaluated the association between caregiver psychological distress and the behavioral and cognitive components of care with a range of covariates. About 35% of the caregivers showed signs of psychological distress. Caregivers who provided more care for instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), demonstrated a greater intensity of care, lived with the care recipient, or became dissatisfied with the amount of support received from other family members and friends were more likely to express psychological distress. Providing emotional support to the care recipient and being unable to continue providing care were negatively associated with psychological distress, after controlling for the sociodemographic status and health status of the care recipient.
