摘要

澳門正面對老齡社會以及超老齡社會的來臨，預料未來的長者服務需求非常龐大。目前澳門安老照護體系中，大致可分為社區照顧及院舍照護兩大類，分別提供長者日間護理、家居照顧及支援、24 小時家居護養及住宿式照顧服務。為應對老齡社會的來臨，澳門政府將陸續擴展安老服務，然而澳門同時面對衛生人力資源不足，因此，輔助人員的角色顯得尤其重要，當中以護士助理的角色功能較特殊，屬半專業人員，亦是正式照顧者，擔任的照護任務繁重。本文搜查了各類文獻資料，歸納目前澳門安老服務的現況及社會需求，護士助理的角色及培訓狀況，借鑒鄰近及先進國家對安老服務護士助理的培訓及認可機制，作為澳門未來的安老機構護士助理建立相關制度的參考。
