With the effects of the new coronavirus making it difficult to continue to take care, such as the absence of nursing care offices, many people who care for their families at home often lack hygiene products and increase their mental burden. I found out that I was having trouble with the questionnaire by a private organization that supports caregivers.

This questionnaire survey was conducted by the Japan Carers Federation late last month through the Internet for people who care for or care for elderly or sick families or children with disabilities at home, and 381 people answered. Did.

Among them, when asked by multiple answers whether they are thinking of alternative measures when they are infected with the new coronavirus,
▽ "I have not thought yet / I do not know what to do" is 52%,
▽ "The alternative person is "No" was 51% and both exceeded half.

In addition, when asked by multiple answers that they are now in trouble due to the spread of infection,
▽ "Missing mask / antiseptic solution, etc." is 70%,
▽ "Mental burden / stress increases 55% of the
respondents are "I'm feeling physically tired" and 33%, and
20% are "I'm short of nursing care and welfare services and it's hard to ask."

In addition, when multiple questions were asked about what kind of support is needed when the problem is prolonged,
▽ "I want you to give priority distribution of masks, disinfectants, etc." was 66%,
▽ "Emergency "I want services and saucers for people requiring nursing care" in 64%,
▽ "I want care and welfare services to be provided as they are" in 46%.

In the free description,
▽ "The current measures of national and local governments do not assume that people who need support on a daily basis will be isolated and hospitalized due to infection,"
▽ "Original care People are more likely to be isolated and their families are already exhausted due to further isolation. ”Many voiced complaints of anxiety and fatigue.

Fukuko Makino, Co-Chairman of the Japan Carer Federation, said, “Without support to caregivers, there is a risk that people may fall into a collapse of their lives or collapse together, and that more people may suffer from abuse and depression due to stress. There are so many life-threatening problems that we want immediate action. "
