| Abstract: | 背景：臺灣現面臨社會人口結構的改變，首當其衝的是高齡化、少子化之雙重危機。我國應如何落實在國人高齡長者「活躍老化」及「友善城市」的核心價值。中央及地方政府都積極開設融合高齡休閒娛樂、學習、健康促進、社會參與的課程規劃，更突顯社區高齡長者的健康、生活品質與社會照顧的重要性。研究目的：探討參與二胡休閒娛樂的社區長者之人口學變項特質、自覺健康狀況、睡眠品質與生活品質之相關性。方法：研究採橫斷面相關性研究設計以立意取樣方式，以結構式問卷進行資料收集。本研究收集50位正於社區中參與二胡休閒娛樂之高齡長者。本研究以描述性統計分析參與者之基本資料，包括性別、年齡等。此外，研究者使用皮爾森相關係數 r (Pearson’s correlation coefficient, r) ，檢驗基本人口學變項、自覺健康狀況、睡眠品質及生活品質彼此間的相關程度。結果：本研究結果基本人口學變項與自覺健康狀況、睡眠品質、生活品質皆有相關。另各量測工具之相關性結果，自覺健康狀況與睡眠品質，相關係數r為-.189(p=.190)，屬負相關，顯示自覺健康狀況得分愈高，則睡眠品質得分愈差（睡眠品質愈好）；睡眠品質與生活品質，相關係數r為-.325 (p=.021)，屬負相關，顯示睡眠品質得分愈低（睡眠品質愈高），則生活品質愈好；自覺健康狀況與生活品質，相關係數r為.395(p=.005)，屬正相關，顯示自覺健康狀況得分愈高，則生活品質愈好。 討論和結論：參與二胡休閒娛樂的社區高齡長者同質性高，基本人口學變項對各依變項少有較顯著性的差異。社區高齡長者的自覺健康狀況、睡眠品質及生活品質之間彼此間存著相關性。因此，社區高齡長者應提早規劃退休生活，主動積極參與社區活動，以提高生活品質。然而，中央、地方政府也應提供安全參與的環境與多元的選擇機會，讓社區高齡長者能隨著自己的興趣，豐富退休生活。本研究結果值得中央及各地方政府對於推動「活躍老化」、「在地老化」的議題參考。
Background: Taiwan is facing the social population structure changes. The changes bear the brunt of the dual crisis of aging and low birthrate. The implementation of the core values of "active ageing" and "city friendliness" for the elderly by the central and local governments in programs such as leisure and entertainment, learning, health improvement, and social engagement further highlights the importance of health, quality of life, and social care for the elderly.Research aim: To explore the relationship between demographic variables, perceived health status, quality of sleep, and quality of life among elders/ senior citizens in the erhu leisure and entertainment community.Method: A cross-sectional correlation research design was used to collect data by means of purposive sampling and structured questionnaires. Fifty elders/senior citizens who participate in the erhu leisure and entertainment in the community were invited to participate in this study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the basic information of participants, which include gender, age, etc. In addition, Pearson's correlation coefficient r (Pearson's correlation coefficient, r) was used to test the correlation between demographic variables, perceived health status, quality of sleep, and quality of life.Results: The research result shows that there is relationship between basic demographic variables with self-awareness of health condition, quality of sleep, and quality of life. The result of correlation between measurement tools, for self-awareness of health condition and quality of sleep, the correlation r is -0.189 (p=0.190), it reveals that the higher the score of self-awareness of health condition, the lower the score for quality of sleep (higher quality of sleep), the relationship is positive; for quality of sleep and quality of life, the correlation r is -0.325 (p=0.21), it reveals that the lower the score of quality of sleep (the higher the quality of sleep), the higher the quality of life, the relationship is positive; for self-awareness of health condition and quality of life, the correlation is 0.395 (p=0.005), it reveals that the higher the score for self-awareness of health condition, the higher the quality of life, the relationship is positive.Discussion and conclusion: The senior citizen participate in the erhu leisure entertainment is highly homogeneous, there is slightly significant differences of the components of the basic demographic among the respondents. The community senior citizens’ self-awareness of health condition, quality of sleep, and quality of life have relevant relationship among each other. Therefore, community senior citizen must plan for their retirement life, cultivate interests, proactively participate in community activities, establish social relation, and increase quality of life. Nevertheless, the central and local governments should provide safe environment for participation and variety opportunities for choices, for the community senior citizen to suit their own interests, and to enrich their retirement life. The research results are valuable reference for the central and local governments to promote “active ageing” and “local ageing”. |
