초록

本論文では、超高齢社会における日本の高齢者の自立目標と意志を介護文学作品である若竹千佐子の『おらおらでひとりいぐも』の分析を通じて綿密に考察した。超高齢社会は高齢化率が21%を超える社会で、超高齢社会になると高齢社会に表出し始めた高齢者の介護問題、高齢者嫌悪問題、介護犯罪問題、世代葛藤問題など多様な社会問題が深刻化して行く。これらの問題を解決するために、日本政府は積極的に高齢者社会福祉政策を施行し、時期と状況に合わせて政策対応を修正補完してきた。しかし、増える高齢者を政策対応だけで責任をとるのは無理であり、日本の高齢者社会福祉政策の最終的な方向性は高齢者の自立目標に焦点が当てられている。そこで本論文では、超高齢社会に高齢者の自立目標がなぜ必要であり、自立に対する高齢者の意志がなぜ重要なのかを介護文学作品『おらおらでひとりいぐも』のテキスト分析を通じて、現実では高齢者の自立目標と意志がどのように表現され、記述されるかを解明しようとした。研究の結果、超高齢化が進む超高齢社会においては、自立に向けた目標や志向が前向きな老後を過ごすために不可欠な要素となっていることがわかった。これにより、高齢者の意識の変化が必要であるという事実が確認された。

영어초록

This paper attempts to closely examine the independence goals and intentions of the senior citizens in the super-aging society of Japan through the analysis of Chisako Wakatake’s『Ora Ora de Hitori Igumo』 literature of nursing care. In a super-aging society, the aging rate exceeds 21%, and as society becomes a super-aging society, various problems such as elderly care problems, elderly hatred problems, caregiving crime problems, and generational conflict problems begin to appear in the aging society. In order to solve these problems, the Japanese government has actively implemented social welfare policies for the elderly, and has revised and supplemented policy responses to suit the timing and situation. However, it is impossible to take responsibility for the increasing number of elderly people through policy measures alone, and the ultimate direction of Japan’s social welfare policy for the elderly is focused on the goal of independence for the elderly. Therefore, in this paper, we examine why the independence goals for the elderly are necessary in a super-aging society and why the elderly’s will for independence is important by examining the current situation of elderly people in Japan. Through the text analysis of『Ora Ora De Hitori Igumo』, I tried to elucidate how elderly people’s independence goals and intentions are expressed and written in reality. The results of the research revealed that in a super-aging society where the population is rapidly aging, goals and aspirations toward independence are essential for positive aging. This confirms the fact that a change in the consciousness of the elderly is necessary.
