本研究使用社會排除觀點(social exclusion perspective)來分析台灣地區年長榮民是否有受到社會排除的現象(特別是在生活照顧與婚姻狀況方面)?研究方法主要為深度訪談法,並輔以文獻探討法與參與觀察法。此外本研究共立意取樣8位外住年長榮民與2位內住就養年長榮民接受訪談,資料分析方法主要為內容分析法。 本研究的主要發現有:(一)經濟的排除效應在領取一次退休金退休(目前正在領就養給與)、且有未工作之配偶及未成年子女(或孫子女)要撫養的年長榮民身上較為明顯;(二)福利服務與健康照護使用上的排除效應在年長榮民身上依然存在;(三)人際間的排除效應在年長榮民身上並不明顯,以及(四)公民權的排除效應在年長榮民的大陸配偶身上相當明顯。最後研究者根據研究發現提出具體建議。
