摘要

因應臺灣失智症患者的人數持續攀升，長期照護機構環境設計之重要性亦相對增加，對於失智症患者而言，機構環境中的安全性、個人化及隱私性等設計也逐漸受到重視。長期照護機構環境檢查量表可分為「公共環境檢查量表」、「住房環境檢查量表」及「住民行為檢查量表」等三種量表。公共環境檢查量表中包含：「安全性」、「感官刺激與活動性」、「舒適度與便利性」及「方向性及辨識性」；住房環境檢查量表則含有「安全性」、「個人化」、「舒適度與便利性」及「隱私性」等四個構面；住民行為量表方面則與其他研究的行為量表不同，主要在於量表中加入正向行為之概念。

Numbers of dementia patients in Taiwan are getting more and more, and so are numbers of long-term care facilities. As time goes by, people care about not only 'safety' but 'personalization' and 'privacy' in facilities. Thus 'Public Environmental Checklist', 'Residential Environmental Checklist' and 'Residents-Behaviors Checklist' were developed in this study. 'Public Environmental Checklist' involves safety, stimulation, comfort and convenience, and identification. 'Residential Environmental Checklist' includes safety, personalization, comfort and convenience, and privacy. 'Resident-Behaviors Checklist' is unlike the other behaviors checklists, because it evaluated not only negative but also positive behaviors. We provide these checklists to future clinical researchers. Let them understand the advantage and how to apply to future studies about environmental features in long-term care facilities and behaviors of residents.
