接受居家服務老人,大多數為失能或有健康問題者,而居家服務是否能滿足老人的需求,確切提供適當的服務?顧及老人生理、心理、社會等方面之需求,值得深入探究?故本研究的目的在探討接受居家服務老人的社會人口學特質、健康情形及其接受居家服務情形與生活品質的相關性。採橫斷式相關性研究設計,以高雄市社會局委託辦理之居家服務支援中心,收案管理已滿2個月的65歲及以上老人為取樣對象,共收案132位。研究工具採結構式問卷,內容包括:基本資料、疾病種類、身體功能、日常活動能力量表、接受居家服務期間、每月接受服務總時數及服務項目、台灣簡明版世界衛生組織生活品質量表。量表以專家效度、內容效度、表面效度、預測效度、項目分析、內在一致性信度檢定。所得資料以描述性及推論性統計進行分析。 研究結果發現(1)接受居家服務老人整體生活品質得分,平均值(標準差)40.98(9.11)分,得分指標為51.23分,其四個分範疇的得分指標由高到低依序為,社會關係範疇、環境範疇、心理範疇、生理健康範疇。(2)教育程度、社會福利身份別、身心殘障身份,在整體生活品質得分有顯著差異。(3)整體生活品質愈佳者,其罹患疾病數與接受服務項目數愈少,視力、睡眠、小便控制、腸功能、日常活動能力情況也愈好,且年齡較大。(4)日常活動能力、睡眠、身心殘障身份、視力、社會福利身份別、年齡,是整體生活品質顯著地預測變數,可解釋整體生活品質總變異數的45.6%。 接受居家服務的老人,若能加強復健工作,強化輔具等設備,將可維持或增加其活動的能力,以減低功能障礙所造成的限制,且建議未來規劃老人服務時,應整合社政與衛政,才能真正提昇老人生活品質;否則,居家服務雖對老人生活上有所協助,但卻無法真正提升老人生活品質。
