Care Communication (eBook, ePUB)

Making a home in a Japanese eldercare facility

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book studies communication in institutional eldercare. It is based on audio-recorded interactions between residents and staff in a Japanese care facility. The focus is on the morning care routines, which include getting the residents out of bed and ready for the day. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, the analysis explores the characteristics of care communication as they become manifest in the interactional small print. The research findings are contextualised with results from previous studies, tracing significant features and explanation for deviant cases.
