台灣長期照護需求人口持續增加,照顧者扮演重要角色,她/他們最大的願望是「好好睡一覺」。因此,探討照顧者的睡眠品質與健康狀況實為一重要議題。本研究採橫斷式相關性研究設計,收案110位。探討居家護理個案之照顧者健康狀況與睡眠品質的情況,並分析基本屬性與睡眠品質在健康狀況的差異性,及健康狀況之預測因子。以結構式具信、效度之問卷量表,包括自覺健康狀況、憂鬱及睡眠品質,進行資料收集,及健康體能檢測,三個量表的信度Cronbach,s α達.82∼.90,再測信度r為.85∼.88。 結果顯示,自覺健康狀況平均為4.26(±2.149)分,是不理想的。健康體能平均為2.87 (±1.48)分,屬不佳;82.7%的照顧者有憂鬱傾向;睡眠品質平均得分9.72±3.28分,屬不良。自覺健康狀況之重要預測因子為睡眠品質、罹患慢性疾病,解釋總變異量為26.1%;健康體能之重要預測因子為年齡、睡眠品質,解釋總變異量為24.1%;憂鬱之重要預測因子為睡眠品質、年齡,解釋總變異量為50.5%;可見睡眠品質是三項健康指標之重要預測因子。 在臨床實務中,及早介入慢性病防治、健康體能促進運動介入,與倡導照顧者週休一日的政策,讓其有好的體能與充足的睡眠,以增進照顧者個人健康;對於高齡的照顧者需要更多的關注。
