Abstract
This study aimed to provide an overview of the previous studies that examined the relationship between partnership and family quality of life(FQOL), to understand the current situation, and clarify future research issues regarding their relationship. The analysis was conducted from the following three perspectives:(1)number of FQOL respondents,(2)the presence or absence of the measurement of changes over time in FQOL, and(3)the main purpose and results, and the role of the experts who contributed to FQOL. The researchers con- ducted an electronic search(2000-2019) for papers that analyzed the relationship between experts and family partnerships. As a result, 22 relevant papers were found, which included 14 questionnaire surveys and eight experimental studies. The characteristics of the questionnaire survey were as follows:(1)N=13(92.9%)1 person ratio, (2)N=0,(3)correlation between partner- ship and FQOL(N=9), the role of the experts(N=4), and the number of experts that affected FQOL,(N=1), respectively. Conversely, the characteristics of the experimental research were(1)N=6(75%),(2) N=4(50%), and(3)studies that clarified the roles of all the experts(N=8:collaborative approach, HCBS, BPT), respectively. The future issues pointed out from the results are as follows. It is necessary to accumulate research on FQOL measurement by multiple respondents over time. Furthermore, it is necessary to analyze the involvement of specialists in the family, a predictor of FQOL.
