當熟齡讀者走進繪本的世界

臺灣進入高齡化社會後，相關議題均受到極大關注，本研究以投入熟齡繪本推動工作的「搖滾爺奶有限公司」與「後青春繪本館」的5名機構人員和13名讀者為對象，透過訪談法探索熟齡繪本的輪廓，以及讀者接觸熟齡繪本的歷程。研究發現，熟齡繪本主題聚焦在生命意義、熟齡族群的需求與關注議題、人生下半場的生活規劃、在生活中面臨的心理困境等主題，且具備藝術賞析、觸動人心、引發共鳴與思考、檢視自身生命歷程等特質。若讀者對熟齡繪本無成見則更容易接受機構方對熟齡繪本所做的詮釋。研究建議：應使用「熟齡繪本」這個詞彙開創新的繪本類別，以打破繪本即兒童繪本的刻板印象；並設置獨立陳列區以區分熟齡與兒童繪本，提高熟齡繪本取得便利性。

Taiwan will be entering a phase called the super-aged society. In terms of the well-being of the elderly and whether or not people of all ages are equipped to face the aging of the entire social structure, this study interviewed 3 founders, 2 staff members, and 13 readers of Rock YeNai Co., Ltd. and Anke Picture Book House. The study found that picture books for aging readers often focus on the needs of the elderly population, and address issues and psychological dilemmas faced in life. They also possess qualities such as artistic appreciation, emotional impact, stimulating thoughts and reflection, examination of one's life journey, exchange of ideas, and sharing of experiences. From the process and changes in the thoughts of the interviewed readers in contact with picture books for aging readers, it can be found that if there is no prejudice against picture books for aging readers, it is easier to accept the interpretation of picture books for aging readers by institutions. According to the results, suggestions can be divided into two parts: first, the necessity of using picture books for aging readers phrase: in order to break the stereotype that picture books are children's picture books, the term picture books for aging readers should be used to create a new type of picture books, and second, the convenience of access picture books for aging readers: separate picture books for aging readers from children's picture books, set up independent display areas, and design corresponding promotion strategies and activities according to readers with different growth backgrounds, so as to make it easier to access and accept picture books for aging readers.
