| Summary: | 碩士 === 樹德科技大學 === 經營管理研究所 === 106 === The prolongation of life expectancy in Taiwan in recent years, coupled with the declining fertility rate led to the problem of declining birthrate, which has caused Taiwan’s population structure to age rapidly. Under the increasingly severe aging situation, it has begun to exert a slow impact on society and economy. The decline in productivity, the increase in medical expenses, etc. are the issues that we need to be concerned about.
"Live to old, learning to be old." is a common saying that we often hear. People can use lifelong learning to create higher value for themselves, not because of the negative attitudes brought about by old age, which can be from volunteer service. In the beginning, Zhou Haijuan (2005) pointed out that the participation of volunteer services for the elderly is the satisfaction of pursuing psychological satisfaction and can be satisfied with self-growth, self-realization, and social affirmation. When elderly people serve as volunteers, they can help demonstrate the significance and value of old age, and help the elderly to achieve a successful ageing (Lin Lihui, 2006). Therefore, this study will explore the relevant factors of senior volunteers and successful aging.
In the study of the relationship between senior volunteers and successful aging, this study used the topics of “social support” and “meaning of life” as the content of the questionnaire and used qualitative research and semi-structured interviews to visit three senior volunteers. It is hoped that it will help society or government policies, and provide reference for various decisions. The results of this study provide social support for elderly volunteers to participate in volunteer services, and they feel that they have a positive sense of life and help them achieve the characteristics of successful aging.
