| Abstract |
Upon signing of the Japan Indonesia Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) which includes the provision on Movement of Natural Persons, more than 550 Indonesian nurse and certified care worker (kaigo fu...kushishi) candidates were deployed to Japan since 2008. After completing the six months language training, the candidates are placed in the Japanese hospitals and long term care facilities. One year after their placement in January 2010, the Kyushu University Research Team undertook a quantitative survey of 100a hospitals and care facilities which employed the first cohort of Indonesian nurse and care worker candidates in order to reveal the present situation and challenges that these institutions are facing. Two major findings from the research are; 1) despite of the language and cultural differences, the foreign nurses/care workers hardly had any problem with the patients and contributed to the revitalization of the working environment, and 2) the employers are overburdened by investing financial and human resources in order to support the foreign nurses/care workers and some are reconsidering the future acceptance of candidates under EPA. The positive impact of employing foreign nurses/care workers should be acknowledged and strengthened while mitigating the negative consequences through policy intervention if we are to make the arrangements under EPA sustainable.
2008年以降､日本インドネシア経済連携協定により550名以上のインドネシア人看護師介護福祉士候補者が来日し､半年間の日本語研修の後に日本の病院や介護施設で就労をしている｡九州大学研究班では､第１陣のインドネシア人候補者が就労を開始して１年が経過した2010年１月に､候補者が配属になった全国の100の病院と介護施設を対象として､受け入れの現状や意識を明らかにする量的調査を行った｡その結果､候補者たちは言語や文化的な差異にもかかわらず､患者や入所者との摩擦はほとんどなく､職場の活性化やコミュニケーションの向上に貢献していることが明らかになった｡一方で､受け入れた病院・介護施設は財政的・人的負担を抱えており､今後の受け入れを再考する意見も見られた｡制度の持続可能性が問われつつある現在､外国人ケアワーカー導入によるポジティブな変化を評価しつつ､各病院・介護施設の負担感を緩和するような政策が求められている｡show more
