A Study of Childcare Problems for a Hearing Impaired Couple: Research Analysis Using the Trajectory Equifinality Model (TEM)Chiaki SATO and Hitomi YOSHIDAAs part of the effort toward child-rearing support in Japan, the reform of men’s work styles has gained attention, in addition to support for women’s work-family balance. However, child-rearing support for parents with disabilities is far from sufficient.Through a qualitative survey administered to a child-rearing husband and a wife with hearing impairment, this article aims to reveal issues in their lives and to explore how child-rearing support should be provided for parents with disabilities. The results were analyzed using the Trajectory Equifinality Model (TEM). The analysis revealed that close support from the wife’s side of the family was critical for the hearing impaired couple in raising children. Further, issues regarding future child-rearing support included the following: first, accessibility to essential child-rearing support service for people with hearing impairment; second, support measures that do not depend on the families of child-rearing parents must be sought; third, companies must undergo fundamental reform regarding working conditions and attitudes toward work; finally, family-friendly local communities must be fostered.

本稿では、1995年度のミス・アメリカに選出された、へザー・ホワイトストーン・マッカラム(Whitestone Mccallum, Heather)という米国の聴覚障害女性の物語を中心に描く。 本稿の目的は、第一に、彼女のミス・アメリカ獲得までの道のりを文献等によって整理し、第二に、それによって、彼女の著作、行動や生き方が、聴覚障害や女性学の世界にどのような影響を及ぼしたのかを考察することである。その際には筆者の学問領域でもある障害者福祉はもちろんのこと社会政策、ジェンダー視点も含めて考察を行う。This report presents the story of a hearing-impaired woman in the United States, Heather Whitestone Mccallum, who was elected Miss America 1995. This report summarizes her activities until winning the title of Miss America through a literature review. It also considers how her writings, behavior, and way of living influenced hearing-impaired persons and women's studies around the world. Considerations will include not only the issues of welfare for disabled persons, the author's field of study, but also social policy and the viewpoint of gender.
