摘要

全球人口老化（globe population aging）已成為21世紀人類重大的挑戰之一，逐年攀升的高齡人口比例使得臺灣地區已於1993年正式進入高齡化社會，高齡者所遭遇自我角色轉換與對於未來的恐懼，皆會影響高齡者的心理健康，而鼓勵高齡者接觸療癒物件來減低壓力有益心理健康的討論日益增加，本研究希望探討療癒物件在高齡者社交文化脈絡的意義，以增進高齡者維持心理健康生活需求。具有社交文化意涵的療癒物件已是現代人生活重要物件之一，多元豐富樣式的發展更加突顯個人化、自由化的生活型態。然而無論是實際使用或心理感情層面，未來更多人性化與社交化的概念，是為其產品設計的必要元素。本研究希望應用質性研究中的紮根理論來分析探討療癒物件在高齡者社交文化脈絡下所代表的意義、療癒物件與高齡者的關係、療癒物件在高齡者社交互動中的意義以及高齡者藉由療癒物件而衍生的社交活動，進而提供在療癒物件產品定位與社交脈絡意義的理論框架。

Socioculturally significant healing objects have already become a typical part of modern living in Asia and around the world, with multivaried expressions evincing the bearer's individuality, and taste for a free lifestyle. Moreover, whether in actual usage or mental and emotive aspects, conceptualizing a more humanistic and socializing community, are essential aspects of their responsive product design. This study intends to apply grounded theory to explore the meaning conveyed by healing objects among elderly social intercourse network s, the relationship between healing objects and elderly, the social significance of healing objects for elderly during social interactions, and social activities resulting from healing objects for elderly, to explore the product positioning and status of healing objects and outline a theoretical framework for their social intercourse network significance.
