提升護理之家老人活動參與率

Promoting Participation of Activities of the Elderly at a Nursing Home

本專案旨在提升護理之家老人娛樂活動參與率，根據2011年度老人活動參與登記表統計護理之家，老人活動參與率為平均43.4% . 而2012年1-6月每季老人活動參與率自38.5%驟降至31.5%，故成立專案小組。分析原因為l.醫護人員對老人活動參與認知不足。2.缺乏稽核制度。3.老人活動參與動機低。4.設備不足。經小組安排在職教育、訂定規範與持續稽核、安排多元化活動及增設設備，使老人活動參與率自2012年7 -12月逐漸提升至69.3%，藉此專案提醒同仁照護老人時，能落實協助老人參與各項活動，以提升老人生活品質與維護其健康生活。
