Manual & Guide 手冊及指引

手冊源起

香港面對人口高齡化,醫療和福利系統無可避免面臨持續的挑戰。照顧者因壓力問題而引發的家庭悲劇時有發生,反映照顧者自身亦極需要社會的重視和支援。

現時照顧者人數眾多,當中不乏配偶、父母、子女、女婿、媳婦,對長者照顧及社會無酬的付出,確實值得社會的認同和肯定。然而,儘管本港為長者及照顧者提供不少支援服務,由於不同的原因,照顧者似乎未有善用現有的服務,常常需要一力承擔所有照顧的責任,這無疑增加了他們的壓力。

照顧者需求多樣性

照顧者有不同種類,所需要的服務或支援亦有所不同。例如:「新手照顧者」剛開始接觸照顧工作,需要盡快提升日常護理和相關的疾病知識,以及獲得合適的離院/復康服務支援。「隱蔽照顧者」一直承擔照顧工作但沒有接受任何支援,因此,他們需要的是服務提供者/鄰里的主動接觸,並被轉介合適的照顧服務,以分擔他們部分照顧工作。「高危照顧者」幾乎長時間被照顧的工作佔據了其生活,他們需要的是喘息空間和暫託服務,甚至可能是情緒支援。即使「資深的照顧者」也可能需要喘息或暫託的支援服務去減輕壓力;而結束了照顧工作的「畢業照顧者」,無論是情緒的支援,還是重新規劃財務與就業的安排,都有非常實際的需求。基於照顧者的不同需要,照顧者的支援和服務也是多樣化,如何讓不同種類的照顧者能夠輕易了解現有的社區支援服務、可考慮甚麼因素選取相關服務、如何獲取所需的支援包括申領經濟支援或預早準備長期護理開支、如何自強增值等,都是這本手冊希望解答的問題。

手冊的目的

編製這本手冊的目的就是要減少照顧者四處尋找資訊的麻煩,提供一個整全且易於瀏覽的資訊來源。本手冊主要有兩大目標:其一,幫助照顧者認識不同的服務和資源,積極尋求援助;其二是一站式提供豐富的資訊服務,提升照顧者的能力和平衡身心健康。

手冊的意義

此手冊的社會意義是期望提高大眾對照顧者需要的關注,並引導更多的行動以支援照顧者。如果您的親友是照顧者,又或您認識的朋友甚至鄰居正面對照顧家人的困難,您可以主動伸出援手,又或利用這本手冊作為啟示,向他們介紹相關的服務。

另外,這本手冊可以視作為支援照顧者的工具,讓照顧者明白在承擔照顧家人的重任時並不需要孤軍奮戰,也可以善用社區提供的各種資源和服務。

手冊架構

本手冊由四個主要部分組成,每部分都專注於特定的主題,旨在提供照顧者的全方位支援和資訊,幫助他們在面對挑戰時能夠有所依賴,並從中獲得力量:

第一部分主要提供基礎知識,其中包括不同種類的照顧者的介紹、四種長者常見疾病(包括認知障礙、中風、老年抑鬱和癌症)的病徵說明、以及照顧者可能面臨的壓力與「喘息服務」的重要性。第二部分專注介紹長者常用的社區及健康服務。我們按照地區將服務機構進行了分類,羅列「認知障礙、中風、老年抑鬱、癌症」常用的服務機構,此外,我們還提供家居安全、樂齡科技租賃服務,以及財務支援等相關建議。第三部分將焦點重新放回照顧者身上,提供了支援照顧者的社福機構介紹、照顧者同路人的心得分享,以及照顧者的培訓資訊,旨在幫助照顧者在面對困難時能自強不息。最後,在本手冊的結尾部分,我們特別邀請了四位專家學者就照顧者政策提出見解和建議,為加強照顧者支援服務提供新思路。

如果按持份者來分類,手冊的四個部分的重點如下:

第一部分:照顧者的基礎知識

◎ 針對預備照顧者、新手以及隱蔽照顧者,讓他們了解照顧者的角色和需要;照顧體弱長者的基礎知識,並提供應對壓力的建議,包括自我照顧和喘息服務等。

第二部分:照顧者支援

◎ 針對所有護老者,提供長者常用的社區服務、健康服務和支援計劃,包括暫託、住宿、護送及陪診、善別支援、情緒支援、復康用品津貼及租賃的支援計劃,以及財務策劃師提供的理財貼士。

第三部分:照顧者自強

◎ 針對照顧者,資訊包括不同的照顧者支援組織、同路人和畢業照顧者的經驗心得、培訓課程,以及實用的電子資訊平台推介。

第四部分:對照顧者支援政策的看法和展望

◎ 針對服務提供者、政策倡議者及制定者,提供專家學者對照顧者服務及政策的未來發展方向的看法和建議,以期引發更多關於「如何為照顧者提供更好支持」的討論。

給讀者的使用指引

本手冊內容十分豐富,讀者可以先瀏覽目錄,選擇與您相關的部分進行細讀。對於新手照顧者或剛接觸/關注護老服務的人士(例如:學生、社區人士),我們建議您可以參考手冊第24-33頁「給照顧者的智慧錦囊」的個案,了解不同照顧者可能面對的情境,這可能會給您一點概念,讓您可以考慮尋求哪些支援服務,又或您身邊照顧者朋友有哪些需要,以及如何協助他們獲取所需要的支援。我們深知閱讀本手冊時,您可能會遇到一些不明白的地方,請不必感到困惑。您可以嘗試找身邊的朋友、鄰居或社會服務機構的工作人員一起閱讀,或者向本中心的職員進行查詢。

此外,為方便讀者可以隨時隨地閱讀而不需要攜帶整本手冊,我們為本手冊設立了一個專屬網頁,免費下載整本手冊或某些章節內容。

希望您在閱讀的過程中能找到有用的資訊,並能從中獲得實際的幫助。


The Role Of Occupational Therapy Practitioners In The Care Of Pets And Animals: A Guide To Aging In Place With Pets And Animals, Blake Randell, Mary Jan Greer, Sherry Pidgeon Aug 2023

The Role Of Occupational Therapy Practitioners In The Care Of Pets And Animals: A Guide To Aging In Place With Pets And Animals, Blake Randell, Mary Jan Greer, Sherry Pidgeon

Summer 2023 Virtual OTD Capstone Symposium

This capstone project explored the role of occupational therapy practitioners in the care of pets and animals among older adults which has been referred to as the forgotten instrumental activity of daily living (or IADL) for this population. A needs assessment was conducted to determine how to provide facilitators and remove barriers or hindrances to occupational performance in the care of pets and animals among a group of older adults (with a variety of disability- and non-disability-related needs) in independent living communities. This needs assessment identified compounding health disparities of physical and/or cognitive impairments and lack of financial and necessary …

Manual & Guide 手冊及指引

嶺南大學亞太老年學研究中心獲華人永遠墳場管理委員會(「華永會」)資助為期一年的「回首.動情.傳承」長者生命故事計劃(「計劃」)。此計劃旨在讓青年人認識長者生命經驗,學習克服困難與挫折以提升抗逆力,建立正向人生觀。

近年,主流媒體經常批評年輕人的負面人生觀,例如:「躺平主義」、「享樂主義」、「犬儒心態」等,亦不時看到青年人輕生的新聞。我們曾在大學內處理過不少受情緒困擾及企圖自殺的個案,與學生深入交流後,發現他們面對着沉重的學業壓力、財政困難或複雜的家庭關係,內心充滿掙扎不安。

此計劃讓嶺大學生與長者導師進行深度的對談,透過了解長者走過的路、他們經歷過的挫折和教訓,給予年輕人生命的啟示。如果我們以旅遊比喻人生,長者就像環遊世界的資深背包客,即使大家遊覽不同的地點、觀賞過不同的風景,他們總能夠分享一些旅遊的心得,讓新手遊客走少一點冤枉路,或領悟到旅遊的樂趣和意義。長者亦可以藉由敍述人生片段回顧他們生命中的故事,學習接納過去,增加自我認同感。青年人創作生命教育書冊,將長者積極的人生觀傳給年輕一代,並藉此鼓勵其他長者豁達地度過餘年。

我們於2022年初招募嶺南大學學生接受「生命故事敍述」培訓,內容包括:本港的人口老化現象、敍述治療理論、與長者溝通的技巧及模擬實踐練習等,以裝備同學的知識和技巧。本中心再向屯門、元朗區的長者機構發邀請信,誠邀長者擔任生命導師接受訪問。

嶺大安排同學以兩人一組的小隊形式,於2022年6至7月期間前往長者中心、日間護理中心、嶺南大學或長者家中,與十二位長者進行深入訪談。訪談結束後,同學根據訪談的內容,為長者書寫他們獨特的生命故事。例如在人離鄉賤的異國環境下,努力打拼事業的Alfred;堅持不懈持續進修的淑芹和馮春林;即使沒機會求學,仍憑一雙巧手闖出一片天的譚惠;在文化大革命的漩渦中,憑着熱忱而改變命運的蘭英;還有為家人無私奉獻的鳳群、歐婆婆、雅芳及細女;離鄉別井勇闖異地的阿美和阿水;即使被家人賣去做「妹仔」,仍能以「阿Q精神」面對的諒餘。

為保障長者的私隱權益,本書內所有刊登之故事皆經過受訪者或社工審閱,部份受訪者選擇以化名的形式來分享自己的故事,我們亦移除了部份敏感的個人資料。

嶺南大學獲賽馬會慈善信託基金捐助,與本地另外三所老年學研究單位共同推行為期共五年半的「賽馬會齡活城市計劃」。嶺南大學團隊先後在新界及離島四個區域進行研究,採取「由下至上、地區為本」的模式,了解當區居民對「長者及年齡友善」程度的評價及改善社區設施與服務的意見,並協助區議會制定行動方案及加入「世界衞生組織全球長者及年齡友善城市及社區網絡」,使社區有策略地發展成「長者及年齡友善」社區。

同時,培訓社區人才亦是「長者及年齡友善」城市得以持續發展的重要因素。因此,嶺南大學團隊著手總結過去四年多在社區內推行「齡活大使」訓練的經驗,集合眾人之心得,彙編成冊,力求過去的點滴能對未來發展有所啟迪。感謝參與計劃之各大學團隊的合作,及社區單位及參加者的無私分享,才可促成本手冊面世,與社會人士分享。


Webinar: Aging In Place: Improving Mobility For Older Adults, Alan Kenneth Delatorre, Ivis Garcia Zambrana, Ja Young Kim Jul 2019

Webinar: Aging In Place: Improving Mobility For Older Adults, Alan Kenneth Delatorre, Ivis Garcia Zambrana, Ja Young Kim

TREC Webinar Series

Aging in place can simply be defined as staying in your home as you age; aging in place concerns include mobility, social activities, safety, accessibility, and long term supports and services in one’s neighborhood and society. In order to facilitate aging in place, organizations in Salt Lake County, Utah and the City of Portland, Oregon, provided home modifications to income-qualified older adults that intended to enable aging in place. Such modifications alter individuals’ life-space mobility – a concept recently used by gerontologists and that we introduced to planners – from within one’s home to the broader community. A unique methodological …
