2006年底,我國的高齡者已達總人口數的10%。經建會的中推計,將於2018年邁入高齡社會。又依據行政院主計處的統計指出,1997年到2000年間,65歲以上的身心障礙者明顯增加了5%以上;可見隨著老年人口的增加,對於照顧服務的需求也會跟著增加。這些進住服務住宅的高齡者,隨著年紀的增加也將面臨身心狀況逐漸衰退的現象。如何滿足這些失能高齡者的照顧環境需求,將是一個值得探討的議題,也是本研究的目的。 本研究以文獻分析法藉以了解失能高齡者與照顧服務員之相關理論,了解何謂照顧住宅,參考日本與美國照顧住宅定義。藉由實地參訪日本照顧住宅,了解日本在2000年實施長期照護保險制度後,高齡者的照顧方式已逐漸轉型為小規模多功能、個人化的服務模式,改善軟體與硬體來因應高齡者身心狀況逐漸衰退的現象。 本研究以某高齡者住宅之失能高齡者、照顧服務員及管理階層人員為調查對象,以非結構性訪談、觀察法等研究方法,了解進住於服務住宅的高齡者,面對身心狀況逐漸衰退時,經營者如何修正目前的軟體服務與硬體設施,以滿足失能後的照顧需求。研究得到以下結論: 一、失能高齡者在身心狀況改變後,為延續日常生活能力,轉而依賴照顧服務員;在與照顧服務員相處中,失能高齡者會依據自己與照顧服務員的相處關係、照顧情境與生活期待,重新調整失能後的生活適應方式。 二、在高齡者的居住安排中,失能高齡者屬於障礙期的身心狀況;依據本研究結論顯示,服務住宅內的失能高齡者轉介於臥床期期間,最佳的居住安排為「照顧住宅」延長住宅。 三、本研究之照顧服務員定義為正式體系服務,與失能高齡者構成正式的契約關係;我國照顧服務員大多為外籍照顧服務員,都須兼任家務的工作,加上語言隔閡與缺乏照顧訓練的原因,影響照顧品質。 四、失能高齡者不願意接受護理之家,缺乏失能高齡者之復健空間,因照顧服務員進住而改變房間內配置及硬體設備等原因,服務住宅之經營者應就照顧需求,增加服務之軟體及硬體的照顧環境。
