以社區為基礎之老人照顧模式—以越南和平省與興安省為例

Community-based Model on Care for Older People: A Case Study in Hoa Binh and Hung Yen Provinces, Vietnam

越南已進入人口高齡化，而在照顧老人過程中亦面臨許多障礙，特別是在農村和偏遠地區的少數民族。

本研究為個案研究針對越南推動社區照顧兩個省分進行分析與討論。期能獲得社區為基礎老人照顧模式運作的機制。針對兩個省份之兩個代間互相照顧模式進行研究，並針對代間照顧模式的接受服務者，進行深度訪談。另外也針對代間互相照顧模式之利益相關者如地方政府、非營利組織與代間互相照顧團體委員會進行焦點團體討論。

代間互相照顧團體是越南目前以社區為基礎老人照顧的主要模式。社區老人通過以社區為基礎的代間互相照顧團體模式得到了更多的服務，此模式為老年人創造了改善自己和家庭生活的機會。

 

Population aging is a dominant trend of the 21st century. Vietnam has entered an era of population aging. Caring for older people is facing many obstacles, particularly in the rural areas and remote areas, where the majority of population is ethnic minorities. These areas have limited financial capacity, high poverty rate, and low percentage of older people with pension.

This research used qualitative research methodology. After a comprehensive literature review, the primary data consisted of twelve in-depth interviews with club members and four focus group discussions with stakeholders and services providers. Also data collected during the fieldwork in four clubs in community (in two provinces) added to the comprehensive picture of community-based care for the Vietnamese older people.

The study was conducted to assess the results of the Intergenerational Self-Help Club model – the community-based model on care for and promotion of the roles of older persons after two years deployed in Hoa Binh and Hung Yen Provinces, Vietnam. The older people received more attention via the community-based intergeneration self-help, which creates opportunities for the older persons to improve the lives of themselves and their families to promote their roles and contribution to health care, income improvement and development in all aspects.
