A comparison of the challenges presented by the super-aged society that exists in Japan with the challenges expected in South Korea could help both countries. Our examination of the many relevant studies revealed that psychological support in old age is important to help seniors keep healthy both mentally and physically, and recreation support was highlighted as one of the promising methods for supporting the elderly. Herein, to identify effective recreation activities in the social welfare facilities for the elderly in both Japan and South Korea, we surveyed 1,135 staff in facilities for the elderly in both countries. The survey results demonstrated a tendency for a high participation rate in the facilitiesʼ music (singing) and exercise programs. In the future, it will be necessary for both Japan and South Koreaʼs welfare facilities for the elderly to plan and support recreational programs that have a high user participation rate, such as music/singing and exercise. |
