中文摘要 本研究採取立意取樣方式選出苗栗縣某地區型醫院的醫療人員,進行問卷調查,針對人口統計變項、親代互動現況與研究對象的長期照護認知與經驗評價等變項,進一步分析醫療人員對於親代居住安排及照顧方式的意向。本研究共發放350份問卷,實際回收之有效問卷為323份,回收率為92.3%。約八成以上為女性。未婚者佔五成七;職務別以護理人員為主。分析結果顯示:醫療人員與親代互動程度越高,選擇「與父母同住」者比例越高。而已婚的受訪者與親代的互動關係以及居住安排,均是以「自己父母」受到的關注較多。隨著父母身體健康狀況不佳,由子女直接照顧長輩的比例會相對降低,轉以選擇「由子女照顧為主,父母照顧為輔」與「僱請看護人員與子女來共同照顧」者佔相對多數。選擇「安排住入老人公寓或長期照護機構」的比例也隨之升高。而在經濟奉養層面,以選擇「一部分依靠子女、一部分來自他們自己的儲蓄與退休金」為大多數。在「長期照護觀念認知及評價」方面,醫療人員中有高達六成七以上是屬於低度認知族群,與其隸屬部門、工作年資有正向相關,並且與親代老年理想居住安排/照顧意願/經濟支持有部分之相關性存在。 關鍵字:居住安排,長期照護,醫療人員
