プロフィール

My research is centered on the intersection social welfare policy, gerontology, sociology, and public health. 

I am particularly interested in unraveling the intricacies of pluralistic policy networks involving individuals, families, governments, civil society, and corporations.

Driven by a keen interest, my recent researches focus on comparative studies of family caregivers, the policy process of social welfare policies, and community-based integrated care in China and Japan.

  • Helping the Elderly Live Better With Dementia: Recent Developments in Japan’s Adult Guardianship System and Its Role in Geriatric Social Work Practice

    Jiyuan Zhang, Zi Yan

    Journal of Disability Policy Studies    2024年02月  [査読有り]

    担当区分:責任著者

     概要を見る

    With the rapid aging of Japanese society and increasing concerns over the welfare of people with psychiatric disorders, intellectual disability, and dementia, a renewed adult guardianship system based on the notion of respect for self-determination, the practical use of one’s remaining abilities, and re-socialization, has now been in place for 20 years. Japanese adult guardianship practices are understudied in English language literature; thus, this article presents an overview of recent developments in Japan’s adult guardianship system and geriatric social work initiatives adopted in Japan’s adult guardianship practice. The authors found that the guardianship system not only helped the elderly live better with dementia but also contributed to the realization of “ageing in place” in the community-based integrated care system.

  • Blessing or curse: the role of authoritarian filial piety and self-efficacy in caregiver gains among Chinese family caregivers caring for physically impaired older adults

     概要を見る

    Abstract

    Background

    This study investigated the effects of authoritarian filial piety (AFP) and caregiver self-efficacy on the caregiving experience of adult children of physically impaired older adults. Socio-cultural stress and coping model was applied to test the influence of AFP on caregiver gains.

    Methods

    A total of 601 Chinese adult children caregivers and care-recipient dyads participated in this cross-sectional study in 2021. Four instruments were used to collect data: the 4-item Zarit Burden Interview, Positive Aspects of Caregiving Scale, Caregiver Task Inventory Scale, and Authoritarian Filial Piety Scale. All mediation and moderated mediation effects were estimated using SPSS 26.0.

    Results

    Caregiver self-efficacy was found to not only mediate but also help family caregivers convert their burden into positive gains. AFP moderates the association between caregiver burden and self-efficacy, as well as between caregiver burden and caregiver gains.

    Conclusions

    This study provides valuable insights into filial piety, elucidating AFP’s comprehensive impact on cognitive appraisals of caregiving. Culturally sensitive psychoeducational therapy, addressing AFP expectations and boosting caregiver self-efficacy, is recommended to enhance positive caregiving outcomes.

  • Voluntary Guardianship Notarization: China’s Legal Remedy to Support Self-determination and Decision-making for Incapacitated Older Adults

    Zi Yan

    Intercultural Relations   7 ( 2(14) ) 92 - 105  2023年12月  [査読有り]

    担当区分:筆頭著者, 責任著者

     概要を見る

    In lieu of a comprehensive adult guardianship law, voluntary guardianship notarization has become the main route to support the self-determination, autonomy, and decision-making of incapacitated older adults in China. This article is a first attempt to provide an overview of recent developments and current forms of voluntary guardianship notarization initiatives in mainland China. Besides highlighting the difficulties and challenges faced by the country, this article also outlines the types of guardians under the current legal framework, identifies the social functions of the notary office in adult guardianship socialization, and sets out the emerging initiatives to support decision making for incapacitated older adults.

  • An empirical investigation of the regional dementia care networks in Germany based on the comprehensive theory of integration

    2024年  

     概要を見る

    Dementia Care Networks (DCNs) provide essential support for persons with dementia (PWD) and caregivers, yet research on informal support within regional DCNs remains limited. This study explores informal support at regional DCN, examining facilitators and barriers within DCNs in southeastern Germany. An exploratory-descriptive qualitative approach was used, incorporating semi-structured interviews and participant observation with 23 individuals, including social workers, physicians, nurses, volunteers, family caregivers, and PWD across two Bavarian communities. A thematic content analysis was first conducted to code and analyze the interviews. Subsequently, a structured content analysis, guided by the Social-Ecological Model, was applied to identify facilitators and barriers at individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and regional levels. Our study identified four types of informal support benefiting family caregivers, PWD, and formal service providers:1) support for family caregivers; 2) support for formal service providers; 3) person-centered one-to-one support for PWD. Key facilitators include increased dementia awareness, networking platforms, strong volunteer traditions, supportive policies, and collaboration among network leaders. Additionally, an unexpected spill-over effect contributed to sustaining informal support by enhancing community well-being and supporting former caregivers. However, sustainability of DCN is challenged by organizational and institutional barriers, such as limited awareness and stakeholder competition. Findings underscore informal support’s critical role in bolstering family resilience amid strained formal care systems, offering actionable insights for optimizing DCN efficacy in resource-constrained settings.
