Abstract

Homecare services play an important role in enabling older adults with chronic illness or functional impairment to continue living in their homes and communities. Previous research on homecare services has not fully explored the potential psychological benefits of homecare services. This study investigates the association between quality of homecare services and psychological well-being by analyzing two surveys. The results showed that the association between well-being and the quality of homecare services was mediated by satisfaction with health (z = 4.36, p = .000), satisfaction with family life (z = 4.96, p = .000) and satisfaction with friendship (z = 3.56, p = .000). The top three most important life domains, health, family life, and friendships, combined fully mediated the association between well-being and the quality of homecare services. These findings suggest that quality homecare services could enhance clients' well-being in the areas of family life and friendships beyond health.

探索家庭护理服务质量与老年人幸福感之间的关系。

家庭护理服务在使患有慢性疾病或功能障碍的老年人能够继续在家中和社区生活方面发挥着重要作用。以往关于家庭护理服务的研究并没有充分挖掘家庭护理服务潜在的心理效益。本研究透过分析两项调查，探讨家庭照护服务品质与心理健康的关系。结果显示，幸福感与家庭护理服务质量之间存在中介关系:健康满意度(z = 4.36, p = 0.000)、家庭生活满意度(z = 4.96, p = 0.000)和友谊满意度(z = 3.56, p = 0.000)。健康、家庭生活和友谊这三个最重要的生活领域结合在一起，完全介导了幸福感和家庭护理服务质量之间的联系。这些发现表明，除了健康之外，优质的家庭护理服务还可以提高客户在家庭生活和友谊方面的幸福感。
