摘要: | 台灣社會隨著生育率降低,高齡化的衝擊越來越嚴重,老人年老後的安老問題成為我們重視的話題。社會資本就是社會網絡連結的產出,老人從中獲得社交、情緒與實質支持的程度,端視老人與其他人的關係品質、實際可用性、持有的價值觀、與信任程度而定。社會資本是會因時間而變動的,個人的社會資本會隨著年齡的老化而逐漸減少,老化失能有可能促使老人被迫離開自己熟悉的社區,搬到機構入住,因此切斷了原有的資源與鄰里鄰居之間的連結聯繫、而使社會資本慢慢減少,因此,本研究以社會資本理論為基礎,從「社會網絡」、「社會支持」、「社會參與」、「控制和自我效能」四個構面探討,老人的社會資本存量的轉變是否會影響居住型態的選擇?這將是本研究關注的焦點。本研究採用行政院衛生署國民健康局「台灣地區中老年身心社會生活狀況長期追蹤調查」次級資料進行分析,資料為長達二十年餘年的世代研究,希望藉此具有全國代表性的樣本,分析社會資本存量轉變對老人居住型態選擇的影響。
分析實證數據,獲得的研究結果如下:第一,1989年至2007年的社會資本存量轉變,對於老人在宅安老的選擇及與居住滿意度有顯著解釋力獲得部分研究支持。第二,在社會網絡方面,橋接型社會網絡存量越高,越助於老人選擇在宅安老;結合型及橋接型社會網絡社會網絡存量越高,居住滿意愈高。第三,在社會參與方面,老人的正式與非正式參與類型越多,愈有助於老人在宅安老的選擇與提升居住滿意度。第四,社會支持方面, 老人的情感支持及工具支持越多,愈有助於老人在宅安老的居住滿意度。第五,老人的自我效能能越高,愈有助於老人選擇在宅安老與及提升居住滿意。針對研究結果,期望未來老人的照護需要,可以朝向「在地安老」,建議多著重老人社會支持性的網絡建構,期望能供老人保健與社會福利推動、醫療機構、居家照護之相關單位,作為未來規劃老人福利之參考。 With the fertility decline in Taiwan, more and more serious the impact of aging, the elderly old age problem of the elderly will be the subject of our attention.
