본문내용

This interview is conducted to get older adult’s thought about various topic and compare his/her answer with what I expected him/her to answer. Through this interview, I expect to understand older person more deeply and correct some misconceptions about older person. The person I interviewed is my maternal grandmother. Her name is 정○○. She is 84 years old and lives alone. Her husband passed away about 15 years ago and her son and two daughters are living near from her. Her economic source is allowance from her children. She is devout Christian and therefore, her social relationship mostly rises in the church. The interview was conducted at her house and my mom accompanied me to help interview.
