Abstract

This study aims to clarify the differences in psychological, social, and physical characteristics that influence the preferences for nursing care by Japanese and Chinese people. A questionnaire was conducted with Japanese and Chinese seniors who were living at homes and capable of independent living and self-care. At that time, changes in the mental state before and after the spread of COVID- 19 were also examined. The participants were divided into two groups based on their nursing care preferences, “family care” or “public care” with Fisher’s exact test and ANOVA was being used in the analysis. These results showed only a significant difference between these two groups in the responses regarding exercise habits before COVID-19 for both Japanese and Chinese participants. Doing sports or exercise frequency was higher for those who preferred family care before COVID-19. This suggests that the physical factor of exercise habits influences the choice to care for the elderly at home.
