碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 社會政策與社會工作學系 === 108 === The purpose of this study was to explore the self-determination experience of people with disabilities in a full-time life care facility from the perspective of service users and service providers in a full-time life care organization; and to understand how the institutional service providers provide opportunities for people with physical and mental disabilities; and what the experiences and feelings of the people with physical and mental disabilities in the organization; and the institutional service providers' perceptions of the self-determination of the people with physical and mental disabilities and the providers’ limitations and dilemmas. This study adopts qualitative research as a research method, looking for research targets through sampling and snowball-assisted sampling methods, and using semi-structured in-depth interviews to interview five service users and six service providers for the data collection. This study finds that when a full-time life care institution performs self-determination on the life of the client, it is based on a group-way planning which has greater restrictions on individual needs, and it occurs unequal self-determination situation when the function of the client is different and therefore most of the self-determination of the service client is determined by the service provider. To meet the self-determination needs of service users, one should seek supportive-decision to replace the alternative-decision to improve the quality of life of the service users. To implement the human rights of people with physical and mental disabilities, we should consider and discuss issues of the social welfare resource allocations from the perspectives of the government, institutions, future researches and etc. to actively improve the existing limitations.
