研究內容

"本文旨在探討南投縣信義鄉原住民部落老人日間關懷站推動部落老人照顧服務的現況與限制,為達此研究目的,本文採取訪談法針對4位部落老人照顧服務組織的負責人及執行人員進行質性資料的蒐集及分析。研究發現有如下幾項:1.受訪者認為老人關懷站在服務人力上十分不足,尤其志願人力上更是欠缺;2.場地空間缺乏自主性,因此需借用或是與其他機構共用場地,十分不便;3.老人關懷站裡的工作人員部份專業能力欠缺,如交通工具操作、電腦文書技能,尤其電腦技能普遍較弱,因而評鑑文書作業易落於某單一人力上,如此則更加重老人關懷站負責人面臨沈重的負擔;4.老人關懷站的角色和功能實有助於部落老人在地老化的推動,包含維持社會關係、人際互動、健康維護以及情感依附的功能等。循此,本文依研究結果,提出幾項改善部落老人照顧服務質量的建議:1.老人關懷站的健康照護服務與活動設計需與原住民部落文化結合,並掌握「在地老化」原則;2.老人關懷站的工作人員在照顧的專業知識及技能是有待加強的,宜配合部落特色發展不同形式專業訓練方案,就地結合部落給予完整有系統的訓練;3.政府應有計劃有策略的規劃與督導,發展部落原住民集體照護模式,並透過培力(empowerment)取向,協助部落老人照顧服務組織增強服務的能量,同時還要與在地產業結合拓展外部資源,以期能實現部落老人照顧服務組織邁向自主發展之境,終而提升部落老人的生活福祉。
