Purpose : This study is to clarify a problem regarding elderly nursing home residents the point of view of those residents'daily care workers. Method : We sampled 100 nursing homes, at which 70(14.0%) care workers out of a total 500 replied to a written questionnaive with personal thoughts and descriptions of problems regarding care of the elderly. These descriptions were then analyzed using PASW Text Analysis, a computer program used for analyzing surveys. Findings : The survey produced a total of 279 words of response, which we then divided into 17 categories, which were themselves further divided amongst 4 domains :"Present conditions", "Ideal Care Methods", "Difficulties"and "Care of the Elderly as a Whole Society".Conclusion : The "Ideal Care Methods" relies on attention to the individual needs of elderly residents. The most present difficulty lies in a lack of manpower, especially when dealing with residents with increasingly sever conditions. Coupled with this is a lack of sufficient training for the care workers.
