Abstract

The domestic research on the long-term nursing insurance system for the elderly mainly focuses on three aspects: first, the necessity and feasibility of establishing the elderly long-term nursing insurance system in China; second, the demand for aged nursing; third, the introduction to foreign systems and their enlightenment to China. However, most of these studies are mainly based on introduction and description. The research on the logic of foreign system design and the basis of policy selection as well as the comparative analysis of the nursing insurance system with existing pilot areas in China still needs to be in-depth. This work selected representative regions to investigate people's perceptions and needs for long-term nursing, so as to conduct exploratory research on long-term nursing in China through observing details. From the perspective of demand, this work first analyzed the feasibility and obstacles of implementing long-term nursing based on the actual situation in Shaanxi province, and then drew the basic conclusions that social security long-term nursing can be set up separately. Finally, this work outlined a long-term nursing system for the elderly including specific insurance arrangements, service delivery, quality control and other supports.
