社區高齡者社會支持與生活滿意度的關係研究：以自我老化態度為調節變項

本研究旨在探討社區高齡者在自我老化態度為調節變項下，其社會支持與生活滿意度的關係研究。社會支持、生活滿意度、自我老化態度等三者都是高齡族群極為重要的變項，但卻少有合併討論之本土文獻。本研究採用問卷調查法，研究對象為居住於高雄市苓雅區、三民區、鹽埕區、甲仙區及大寮區65歲以上之高齡者，有效樣本為418人。所得資料分別以描述統計、皮爾森積差相關、階層迴歸分析等方法進行資料分析。研究結果發現，高齡者社會支持、生活滿意度與自我老化態度之現況普遍良好；高齡者之社會支持與自我老化態度皆與生活滿意度有正向關係；但高齡者自我老化態度在調節社會支持對生活滿意度的作用並不顯著。各界應加強辦理高齡者與家庭成員可共同參加的活動，增加高齡者社會支持的連結；並積極推廣各種活動，以提升高齡者正向的自我老化態度，進而提升其生活滿意度，以安享晚年。
