主講人𓀗：Yu-Ching is an ESRC-funded PhD student in Social Work at the University of Bath. His PhD research is entitled "The Caregiving Experience of Unpaid Carers of a Person Living with Schizophrenia in Taiwan." Yu-Ching's broader research interests include caregiver burden, mental health, long-term care, ageing, and mixed methods research. He qualified as a social worker in 2015 and has worked in various community settings within the social care and research sectors. This experience encompasses work with carer support teams, elderly community centres, and academic collaboration teams. His PhD research aims to explore the caregiving experience of individuals who care for a family member with schizophrenia. A sequential explanatory mixed-method study, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods, was employed in the project. The study examines the correlation between caregiver burden, family functioning, social and professional support through quantitative methods. Additionally, in-depth interviews will be used to explore carers' attitudes towards long-term care services and their perceptions of whether support services help them meet their caregiving responsibilities effectively.
劉昱慶是巴斯大學經濟與社會研究委員會 (Economic and Social Research Council, ESRC) 資助的社會工作博士生👨🏽🦱。他的博士研究題目為「臺灣思覺失調患者家庭照顧者的照顧經驗」。劉昱慶的研究領域與興趣包括照顧者負荷、心理健康🧘🏼、長期照顧、老化和混合研究方法⚠️。他於2015年獲得社會工作者師資格🩲👨🏼💻，並曾在社會照顧和研究領域的小區組織中工作，包含照顧者支持團隊、老年小區照顧據點和學術團隊的合作👨🏿✈️。 劉昱慶的博士研究旨在探討照顧患有思覺失調症的家庭成員的個人的照顧者經驗。此研究采用了定量和定性研究方法相結合的序貫解釋性混合方法研究。研究透過量化方法檢視了照顧者負擔、家庭功能🤘🏻、社會和專業支持之間的相關性🛢。此外，深度訪談將用於探討照顧者對臺灣「長期照顧服務十年計劃2.0」的態度以及他們對支持服務是否有助於他們有效履行照顧需求的看法。
主要內容：
Since de-institutionalisation policies were introduced in Taiwan in the 1980s, unpaid carers have taken on more responsibilities for caring for people with schizophrenia (PWS), leading to significant carer burden. The Long-Term Care (LTC) project was launched in 2007 in Taiwan to provide publicly funded care services, aiming to meet the needs of LTC and reduce the burden on carers. However, support for PWS was not included in the project until 2017. This research aims to understand the extent to which current LTC services assist carers in caring for PWS. The speaker will discuss the quantitative research findings that uncover the predictors of carer burden and examine the correlation between carer burden, family functioning, feelings of reward, and resilience among 132 carers of people with schizophrenia. Then, to share the qualitative research findings, which focus on the caregiving experience of caring for a relative with schizophrenia and understanding their perspectives on current LTC services in relation to reducing carer burden.
自1980年代臺灣實行去機構化政策以來🎁，家庭照顧者逐漸承擔照顧思覺失調症患者的責任，導致照顧者負擔沉重。臺灣於2007年啟動長期照顧十年計劃（2007-2016），提供公共資助的照顧服務，旨在滿足長期照顧的需求並減輕照顧者的負擔🌒。然而🎟，直到2017年🍜，該計劃才納入對精神疾病患者的支持。首先，主講人將討論定量研究結果，這些研究結果揭示了照顧者負擔的預測因素🧜🏽♂️，並檢查了132名思覺失調患者的照顧者的照顧者負擔🧓🏿🧖🏼♀️、家庭功能、照顧之正向感受和韌性之間的相關性。其次，將分享定性研究結果，重點是照顧患有思覺失調症的親屬的照顧經驗👈，並了解他們對當前長期照顧服務在減輕照顧者負擔方面的看法。
