摘要

為了解社區老人志願服務參與行為及其影響因素，本研究以結構式問卷調查高齡志工及一般社區老人，問卷包括受訪者社會人口學資料、外在行動線索量表、巴氏量表(Barthel Index, BI)、簡式老人憂鬱量表(Geriatric Depression Scale Short-Form, GDS-SF)、及自覺健康量表。符合收案條件者共132人，排除經巴氏量表測定為輕、中、重度及完全依賴者，最後總樣本為117人，其中一般老人組55人，高齡志工組62人。
研究發現高齡志工組每月從事志願服務工作時數由2至30小時不等，平均每人每月服務時數為7.6小時。志願服務團體相關訊息來源管道多為活動傳單、電視媒體等。雙變項分析結果顯示年齡、宗教信仰、家人/親友是否曾參與志願服務工作、家人/親友是否曾鼓勵老人參與志工工與社區老人參與志願服務行為有顯著相關。羅吉斯迴歸分析結果，宗教信仰、家人/親友是否曾參與志願服務工作、家人/親友是否曾鼓勵老人參與志工可有效預測社區老人志願服務參與行為。
