江門市居家養老研究報告 = A Research Report On Ageing In Place In Jiangmen City, 嶺南大學-五邑大學居家養老聯合研究創新中心

APIAS Research Report 研究報告

本研究旨在瞭解江門市”社區居家養老”的狀況及需求,以便當局制定服務,讓長者能在自己最熟悉的地方養老。

硏究採用「量性研究」(Quantitative research method) 的方法,以問卷收集了482位居住在江門市城市、鄉鎮和農村60歲或以上長者的個人狀況和對居家養老的意見。

硏究發現8成以上長者偏好在家養老及覺得其現在居所環境適合養老,但超過一半長者居所的安全性成疑,這包括居所存在鼠患蟲患、住屋光線不足和缺乏維修等。另外,有大約3成認爲社區設施便利性有待提升。

在社交支持方面,超過8成老年人擁有良好的社交支持網絡,出入醫療場所和在生活上遇到難題時能獲得幫忙;少部分無法尋求任何幫助。值得注意的是,尋求正式機構協助的長者不多。

在財務狀況方面,約6成長者主要收入來源為退休金,另外少於半數老年人依靠兒女資助。有部分受訪者依賴存款,政府補貼和勞動收入。受訪者月收入偏低,以1000~4000元爲主,部分沒有任何收人。被訪者的醫療保險覆蓋率接近9成,約有2成人對承擔醫療費用感到吃力。

參與是次研究的受訪者普遍身體狀況和自理能力良好,7成以上滿意當前生活狀態 (包括居所狀況、社會支持、居家安老安排、社區設施及其生活條件),認爲目前條件能支持他們居家養老。

本研究提出五大建議。第一,雖然目前大部分受訪者滿意當前生活狀態,居家養老服務供給水平仍有改進空間。為應付老年人口急增,政府應加速發展養老業。第二,社區和居家環境需配合長者的身體機能和需要,進行適老化改造,以支持他們在家養老。第三,爲減輕長者醫療費用的負擔,建議政府篩查符合救助標準的長者,提高老年人醫療補貼。第四,為了讓更多老年人能在社區組織中獲得適切的正式服務支持,政府應加大服務購買力度,增加服務名額同時提升服務質素。第五,子女對年長父母的陪伴和依靠是不能缺乏的,但部分子女沒有很好地履行贍養義務。爲增加子女對年老父母的照顧力度,政府應從教育、媒體方面營造社會尊老敬老氛圍。

江門市居家養老需求研究報告 : 城市深度訪談 = The Needs Of Ageing In Place In Jiangmen City : In-Depth Interviews In Urban Area, 嶺南大學-五邑大學居家養老聯合研究創新中心

APIAS Research Report 研究報告

本次研究旨在調查江門市老年人居家養老的現狀,探索服務需要,提升江門市老年人的生活質素。研究採用定性研究方法,對21名城市老人進行了深度訪談,調查日期從2020年7月到2020年9月。在這21名受訪者中,女性是11人,男性是10人;60-74歲的老人有9名,12名老人在75歲以上;與他人同住的老人有10名,11位老人是獨居。

研究檢視了江門市老年人的健康狀況和居家養老方面的需求,包括住房滿意度、社區設施情況、患病者個人護理需要及生活水準、健康資訊獲取方式、社會支援途徑和方式、老年人喜歡的活動、上門服務的選擇情況、社會組織分佈情況、患病老人的經濟狀況、及智能設備使用情況。

根據被訪者的需要,本文從醫療費用、養老中心和活動、可承擔服務、資訊傳遞、智能設備、家用電器及家居維修等六個方面提出了幾點建議,希望可以提升老年人的生活質素,使他們可以在家安享晚年。

APIAS Research Report 研究報告

香港婦女基金會何郭佩珍耆康中心致力推動長者老有所為,自我增值。此研究旨在了解中心會員參與班組及義工的情況,並思考如何增加其參與度。中心鼓勵會員從單向接收知識增值至學以致用,但事與願遺,暫時會員傾向只作為服務使用者參加班組,但很少作為服務提供者參與義務工作及自務義工活動。研究指出儘管會員都知道個人在社群的義務,包括伸手助人、弘揚傳統、貢獻社區,但他們都多在乎自身,如時間運用、身體狀況等,少有推己及人,未能從自助跨越到互助而達致增值。在眾多活動的選擇中,他們找不到充分的理由去選擇參與義工服務。研究認為中心在鼓勵服務使用者在接受服務後馬上成為義工的轉變過程中已遇到困難,應將服務使用者循序漸進引導成為服務組織者。研究亦發現中心會員普遍具有高中教育水平和心境年齡年輕的義工活動參與基礎,中心需加強為會員帶來價值觀的改變,讓會員明白義務工作可得到成就、尊重、認同。這些認知有助成為會員參與義工服務的動機,最終促使他們從服務使用者轉變成為服務提供者。

APIAS Research Report 研究報告

Elder neglect, instead of abuse, forms an obvious focus in studying changes before irreversible damages are made to the families over time to examine the family cohesion factors as well as to identify interpersonal or helping relationships among elder parents and adult children, in particular during the time of sickness when an older person requires intensive care. Such occasions reveal the impacts of family dynamic on the vulnerability of elder neglect. It is under this background, Family Council and Central Policy Unit, commissioned the Asia-Pacific Institute of Ageing Studies of Lingnan University to undertake the study, in April 2010, with …

APIAS Research Report 研究報告

In response to the perceived housing needs of single elderly people, the "Housing for Senior Citizens" Scheme has been developed by the Hong Kong Housing Authority since the mid-1980s to provide shared housing for unrelated elderly people. Under this scheme, they live together in an apartment unit with individual bedrooms, but sharing certain facilities. This group is fairly numerous and, in Hong Kong in 1998, there were about 110,000 elderly people living alone for various reasons,among whom 34,000 were tenants in public housing estates. Despite some advantages, shared living for any age group can however lead to potential problems.
