According to the Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare’s“2016 Survey on the Living Conditions and Needs of People with Disabilities”, 78.74% of people over the age of six and under the age of twelve need to be accompanied when they go out, therefore, Longterm Care 2.0 provides escort services to medical appointments and outings. This can effectively assist students with disabilities in their schooling and golden years of care, thus reducing the burden on families. The main purpose of this study was to examine the needs of students with disabilities for escorted medical care and escorted outreach services in Long-term Care 2.0, focusing on the current situation and barriers of utilization. The data were collected from 12 family caregivers of students with disabilities using a semi-structured interview protocol that was validated by experts to ensure the appropriateness of the questions. Face to face interviews were conducted after the case signed the interview consent form, and the interviews were recorded and summarized for data collection. Finally, the interview results were transcribed into verbatim transcripts and analyzed using content analysis. The results of the study showed that 7 (58.33%) of the students with disabilities had used the Long-term Care 2.0 escort service, and generally felt that the system was useful and practical. However, only one (8.33%) of the students had used the escorted medical service, which is a good system, but the actual utilization rate is extremely low. The difficulties in the use of Long-term Care 2.0 escorted medical care and escorted outreach services are mainly due to the difficulties in obtaining transportation, the lack of professional service manpower, and the difference in awareness of the implementation units. These obstacles are worth overcoming later to increase the usage of Long-term Care 2.0 scheme. |
