Abstract

As global aging increases, the issue of long-term care is becoming increasingly important. This study examined the factors influencing the preferences of older Japanese people for long-term care. Three hundred Japanese people over 65 years old were recruited to participate in this online survey on preferences for long-term care. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was conducted to demonstrate the effects of various variables. The results showed that support from the community, family savings, awareness of family caregiving, psychological indebtedness, and self-efficacy directly affected the preferences for long-term care. Gender, age, social participation, cohabitation, and health status self-assessment indirectly affected the preferences. This study demonstrated the influence of relevant factors, especially psychological factors, on the long-term care preferences of older Japanese people.
