The growing elderly population in Taiwan has influence on the population of chronic diseases, thus, facilitating the demand of long-term care. Residents who reside in long-term care facilities need special attention on their quality of care. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the organizational quality will influence on the residential morale. We use questionnaire to survey 223 residents who reside in nursing facilities. The questionnaire includes three parts, Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale by Lawton, Multiphasic Environmental Assessment Procedure (MEAP) by Moos and Lemeke, and personal characteristics. We use descriptive analysis and stepwise regressions to attain the research purposes. The results indicate that the organizational quality of care is associated with residential morale (rapport, self-control, human resources, and security), but not every quality indicators from MEAP. Length of stay can predict residential morale as well as activities of daily living (ADLs) are associated with morale in the dimensions of attitude toward own aging and lonely dissatisfaction. Increasing in quality of care for residential will improve the residential morale.

隨著台灣老年人口的快速增加,慢性病患的人口也急速上升。由於社會勞動市場的改變,許多老人因而選擇長期照護機構為其主要的居住場所。然而,這些長照的機構是否健全?是否提供一定水準的照護品質,關係著我們的老人士氣及其生活品質。本研究訪談223位住在安養護機構的住民。探討哪些機構的品質指標會影響住民的士氣。研究的結果顯示,整體而言,四項品質指標和住民士氣息息相關但不一定是正相關。這四項指標為機構和諧性和住民自主性是屬於正相關。而工作人員資源及舒適性是負相關。機構若能提出相關措施是有助於增加和諧性或凝聚力的活動將有助於增加士氣。相對地,我們認為工作人員資源的指標內容與實際安養護之家的人力配置不盡一致。住民會因為居住時間較長,顯得士氣較高。本研究結果可以作為全台灣安養護機構在照護上多注意相關的品質指標之改善,如此可以促進住民的士氣,進而對住民的健康會有正面的意義。
