本研究目的在探討某醫學中心員工對成功老化之認知與其退休準備行為的內涵,以及成功老化認知與退休準備行為之間的關係。以就職某醫學中心達45歲以上之全體員工,以問卷調查法收集問卷,完訪174份,回收率達56.3%。分析方法則採用因素分析及複迴歸分析。在成功老化認知上,因素分析共萃取出學習與社交生活、現實經濟與健康生活所需、環境與社會、家庭關係、健康習慣、正面思考等六個因素。在退休準備行為上,因素分析共萃取出學習與社交生活、環境與社會福利、家庭關係、經濟安全、心理與生理健康、社會人際關係、靈性與宗教等七個因素。研究結果發現,受訪者的學習與社交生活、環境與社會福利、現實經濟與健康生活所需、健康習慣等成功老化認知越強,其退休準備行為越充份。建議未來可透過終身教育來推廣成功老化認知與退休準備。
The purpose of this study was to explore successful aging awareness and retirement preparation as well as to examine the relationship between the two among employees in a medical center prior to their retirement. The sample included medical center employees who were 45 years of age or older (n=174, with completion rate of 56.3%). Data were analyzed using factor analysis and multiple regression models. Six components to successful aging were identified as learning and social life, economy and health expenses, environment and society welfare, family relationships, health, and positive thinking. Seven retirement preparation factors were learning and social life, environment and social welfare, family relationships, financial security, psychological and physical health, social relationships, and spirituality and religion. Increased awareness of learning and social life, environment and society welfare, economy and health expense, and health correlated with more adequate over all retirement preparation. Successful aging awareness and retirement preparation should be promoted via lifelong education.
