Description

In this study a questionnaire was conducted for families with senior members requiring support care to examine the relationship between tendency to consider goals as an obligation (chronic accessibility to the ought self) and social support, and also, its effects to caregiver burdens. As a result, although social supports were utilized according to situations, those caregivers who tended to consider goals as an obligation experienced higher level of caregiver burdens. However, caregiver burden decreases in those who tended to consider goal as an obligation but utilized more social support than they wished. The result of free description showed that frrling of obligation isolates caregivers and prevents them from expressing fatigue of care giving. THis study showed that the personality of choronic accessibility to the ought self is related to caregiver burdens. Also, necessity of supports that match up to the personality of families with senior members requiring support care is suggested. Especially caregivers who tend to consider goals as obligation need opportunity to express their fatigue from care giving.
