A study on the formation of the ability for support in the senior citizen welfare domain : In ability about human relations in a focus addressed

Abstract

In the field of social welfare, social work is regarded as one of the most important skills that are closely associated with the development of interpersonal abilities. In this research, I continued with my study based on preceding studies in order to find out how interpersonal abilities are developed in the field of welfare of elderly people, particularly in training courses for care workers, who are playing central roles in our industry, by clarifying the degree to which the subjects designed for the mastery of social work have been emphasized and the way in which these subjects have changed in the courses. As a result of the research, I have found out that the subjects concerning social work have been systematically arranged for the purpose of the development of interpersonal abilities since the very beginning of the establishment of the Care Worker Training Program. As for the revised curriculum of the Secondary Care Worker Training, however, evidently there is much left to be desired for further development of such abilities.
