英文摘要 | With the increased number of elders with disabilities residing at home, alternative care resources to assist with families fulfilling responsibility of caring for the frail elders at home become crucial for many Taiwanese families. One such resource is home care aides. Home care aides are considered as respite care for the family members who wish to care for their frail elders at homes. Home care aides can assist the families in providing care for the disabled elders, allow the elders to stay in their homes, and prevent unnecessary institutionalization. Home care aides provide the majority of direct care for the disabled elders at home, but generally work for long hours, low wages with poor benefits, resulting in negative consequences, such as burnout, physical and mental problems, and high turnover rates. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between job stress, and physical and mental health of Taiwanese home care aides who provided care for community-dwelling elders with disabilities. A cross-sectional design was used. Self-administered questionnaires were sent to a convenience sample of 296 home care aides who took care of community-dwelling elders with disabilities in eastern Taiwan, and 274 completed the questionnaires, giving a response rate of 92.5%. The Occupational Stress Index (OSI-2) was used to assess the home care aides’ job stress, physical, and mental health. The results showed that “personal responsibility” was found to be the most frequently reported stressor, and “relationship” as the second most frequently reported stressor by the home care aides. However, home care aides’ job stress was negatively correlated with mental health (r=-0.54, p< .01) and physical health (r=-0.35, p < .01). Adequate on-the-job training programs are needed to help home care aides to gain the necessary practical skills and become familiar with their job responsibilities for caring for elders with disabilities. Training on effective communication and relationship skills are also recommended as a potential strategy for reducing stress and dissatisfaction. |
