ピンピン コロリ ガンボウ ノ ガイネン ト ソノ カンレン ヨウイン ノ ケントウ

Pinpinkorori is a term that describes the way people live and die in old age. About 40 years have passed since Pinpinkorori was first presented at an academic conference, and it has been attracting increasing attention in recent years. However, there have been few previous studies on this concept, and none have thoroughly investigated the concept of Pinpinkori. Therefore, this paper attempts to examine the concept of the Pinpinkorori desire and its related factors based on previous studies and literature. The result of this study shows that Pinpinkorori is a concept that represents people’s desire to live a healthy life and to shorten the period of being bedridden and suffering before death as much as possible. In addition, factors related to the desire for Pinpinkorori were identified to be the negative image of giving and receiving care, anxiety about one’s mental and physical condition in old age, the view of life and death, and values that emphasize being prepared for death. These factors were also suggested as possible generators of the Pinpinkorori desire. Further studies using quantitative data and statistical analysis will be needed.研究ノートResearch Not
