長期照顧機構社工員幸福感與生命意義感之相關性研究

幸福感代表個人目前生活現況整體的滿意和愉快的程度。生命意義是感受到自己存在與價值，以負責態度達成個人對生命目標的實現。幸福感及生命意義感皆是反映個體心理健康的重要指標。長期照顧工作是勞務密集，且是接觸臨終老人及家屬最頻繁的場域，因此，長照機構員工之心理健康極需重視。本研究以郵寄問卷調查，母體為於全台123間大型長照機構服務之專職社工人員。於2014年3月寄發121份問卷，回收101份，問卷回收率為83.47%。研究結果發現，長照機構專職社工員具有中上程度的幸福感受及良好的生命意義感。其次，個人特質變項在幸福感及生命意義感上有差異，但多未達顯著差異。此外，長照機構專職社工員的幸福感及生命意義感，兩者呈現顯著正相關，亦即幸福感知覺程度越佳，其生命意義感知覺程度越佳。

Well-being represents an individual's overall satisfaction and happiness with one's current status in life. Life meaning is to be self-aware of one's existence and value in order to accomplish life goals with a responsible attitude. Both well-being and life meaning are important indicators of an individual's mental health. Long-term care involves labor-intensive duties, it is a field that involves frequent contact with the elderly in need of hospice care and their family members. Therefore, the mental health of employees in long-term care facilities deserves a lot of attention. This study mailed questionnaires to examine a population of social workers in 123 long-term care facilities in Taiwan, 121 questionnaires were mailed in March 2014, 101 of which were retrieved, yielding a response rate of 83.47%. The results of this study found that social workers in long-term care facilities showed upper intermediate well-being and life meaning. Moreover, a significant positive correlation was also observed in the well-being and life meaning of social workers in long-term care facilities. This suggests that higher perceived well-being is associated with higher perceived life meaning.
