| Summary: | 碩士 === 元智大學 === 社會暨政策科學學系 === 101 === Taiwan is facing the problem of an aging society, and the number of senior citizens living with chronic diseases and function disorder is increasing. Althought the market of long term care is developing rapidly, the first priority of the government of the Republic of China is to train the necessary human power and specialities of long term care giving required by an aging society. Tao-yuang Veteran House is a care giving institution taking care of retired military personnel who was injured during war time or senior and poor retirees without dependants. The veterans living in Tao-yuang Veteran House are aging and have an average age of 86. Night percent of the care givers working in Tao-yuang Veteran House are women from Mainland China who married to the veterans here in Taiwan.
Based on the theories of job satisfaction, stay or quit, and society support network, I proposed a framework to explore the working experience, the willingness of continuous service and the unwillingness of continuous service of the care givers from Mainland China working in Tao-yuang Veteran House. Thirteen (13) contracting care givers and three (3) managing staff in Tao-yuang Veteran House were interviewed in this report. The findings of this study are divided into the following three aspects: a) the reasons for taking the job of care giving: including providing financial support to the family, encouraged by the people of their hometown who had worked here before themselves; b) the willingness of continuous service: including financial support, individual consideration, the cohesion of the people from the same howntown, regarding the job as a good deed. c) unwillingness of continuous service: including dissatisfaction with the salerary and benefits, subjective recongnition of the fairness of management, individual consideration, and the frustration and fatigue of the job of care giving.
Key words: long term care institution, the spouse from Mainland China, care giver, continuous service, Tao-yuan Veteran House
