“…These interactions may lead to diverse attitudes in the community, even for decisions regarding terminal care . Acting against these norms might lead to interpersonal conflict and in turn burnout, which may prevent promotion of terminal home care in an area with a community norm that elderly people should die in hospitals . Furthermore, the diversity of attitudes may make these problems more complicated because the solutions to this problem are varied, and there is a lack of corresponding resources in terms of medicine and care in each community.…”

BackgroundThe need for home care services for older adults is gradually increasing in many countries. In the past, Japanese older adults typically died at home, but the current trend is toward hospital death. Few studies in Japan have explored peoples’ viewpoint on home care, however, especially in rural areas. Therefore, we clarified Japanese rural residents’ views of terminal home care.MethodsWe conducted a qualitative study of 152 participants who are current or potential caregivers of older adults and who live in the city of Unnan, Shimane Prefecture, which has a large elderly population. An educational forum consisting of presentations and a workshop were used to provide information on terminal home care to rural citizens. A thematic analysis of the workshop's content regarding participants’ perceived difficulties related to terminal home care was conducted.ResultsParticipants described four themes regarding problems of terminal home care: medical aspects, care burden, health care system, and patient problems. Besides the need for more knowledge of the medical and health system, participants were anxious about the burden of care on their lives and the perceptions of others in their community.ConclusionThis study is the first report on Japanese rural citizens’ views of terminal home care. The findings suggest that the limited use of home care in Japanese rural areas might relate to a lack of understanding of terminal home care and health care systems, a substantial care burden for caregivers, and conflicts between patients and families.

“…23 Ueno further argued that bringing the existence of Japanese women in the military brothels into the discussion made it impossible to sustain a simple equation of Japanese 0/ oppressor and non-Japanese 0/ victim. In a series of articles and in her book Nationalism and Gender, Ueno conducted a detailed discursive analysis of the writings of other feminists, as well as the writings of the conservative revisionists.…”

“…Oral histories are influenced by interviewers and the questions they ask while testimonies of people with similar experiences, such as Holocaust survivors or comfort women, are also influenced by one another, as suggested by the so-called model comfort woman story that emerged in the early 1990s. 23 Many accounts followed a similar narrative arc, beginning with when the women were taken, by deception or force, at a young age, then recounting the hellish treatment in the brothels, ending with the physical and psychic aftermath of pain and shame after the war was over. While the details differed, the narrative template could sometimes flatten, omit, or embellish things, just as time, temperament, and trauma affected individual memories of their personal pasts.…”

The women who served in Japan’s military brothels across Asia during the Second World War are a focus of the politics of memory in East Asia as well as a touchstone for international human rights and sexual violence against women. By the 1990s, the “comfort women” had become a “traveling trope,” which like the Holocaust, both recognized and transcended its original time and place. Gluck traces their “coming into memory” through changes in five areas of the evolving postwar “global memory culture”: law, testimony, rights, politics, and notions of responsibility. She shows how the ideas and practices of public memory changed over time, in the course of which the comfort women became “global victims” in a transnational memoryscape.
