Abstract

ABSTRACT Isolation is one of the most critical factors related to older people’s health. However, to prevent COVID-19, community socialisation among the elderly has halted. Because of older people’s limited access to information technology, they cannot maintain external communication easily, and even several weeks of isolation from others could be detrimental to their health. How we sustain communication with and among the elderly is currently and will continue to be a considerable challenge in community work in Japan. In addition to contextualised information on Japanese community care for social welfare before and after the pandemic, the case of a social worker and her community is introduced. From her practices, wisdom in communication processes that can make communities more resilient to crisis can be gained and be of use in Japan and other Asian countries.

让沟通在危机中有弹性的智慧:向日本社区和社会工作者学习

孤独是影响老年人健康的最关键因素之一。然而，为了预防COVID-19，老年人的社区社交活动已经停止。由于老年人获得信息技术的机会有限，他们不能轻易地保持对外交流，甚至与他人隔离几周也可能对他们的健康有害。如何维持与老年人之间的沟通是目前并将继续是日本社区工作的一个相当大的挑战。除了介绍大流行前后日本社区对社会福利的照顾情况外，还介绍了一名社会工作者及其社区的案例。从她的实践中，可以获得沟通过程中的智慧，这些智慧可以使社区更能适应危机，并可以在日本和其他亚洲国家使用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
