Objective To explore the index of well - being and its influential factors among family members of home -care elders with the hope to provide basis for effective intervention programs. Methods Cluster sampling method was employed and 150 family members of home - care elderly from one certain community were investigated with self - designed questionnaire and the MUNSH ( Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness ). Single factor analysis was used to analyze the data. Results The mean index of well - being of these 150 family members was ( 30. 8 ± 6. 7 ). It was positively correlated with friends - making, phone calls, activities, and communication with family members ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) while negatively correlated with family income bathing ability, sleeping quality, diet ability and defecation ability ( P ＜0. 05 ). Conclusion The index of well - being among family members of home - care elders is relatively low, which can be enhanced through efforts on home - care support by the government as well as improvement of the physical and mental conditions of the elderly.%目的 探讨居家护理高龄老人家属的幸福度及影响因素,为制定有效的干预方案提供依据.方法 采用整群抽样的方法抽取某社区150名居家护理高龄老人家属,以自行设计的问卷和纽芬兰纪念大学幸福度量表(MUNSH)为测量工具进行单因素相关分析.结果 家属平均幸福度为(30.8±6.7)分,家属的幸福度与高龄老人的交友、打电话、老人参加活动、老人与家属聊天均呈正相关(P＜0.05＝;与家庭月均收入、老人洗漱洗澡自理、睡眠状况、饮食自理、排便自理均呈负相关(P＜0.05).结论 居家护理高龄老人家属的幸福度不高.加强政府对居家养老措施的扶持,改善老人的生理、心理状况可以提升其家属的幸福度.
