我們怎麼做研究How we do research
當一個人的日常活動變得吃力,現有的照顧服務能提供什麼?又有哪些需求沒被看見?我們追蹤個人的功能變化、分析長照服務使用情形,也發展並驗證評估工具,並訪談第一線服務人員,了解制度如何影響人們取得照顧。When everyday activities become harder, what support can care services offer, and which needs go unmet? We track changes in functioning, analyze how people use long-term care services, develop and validate assessment tools, and interview frontline staff to understand how care systems shape access to support.
四個研究主題Four Research Topics
01 / 研究主題Research area
長期照顧政策Long-Term Care Policy
長期照顧制度涉及服務輸送、資源配置與跨專業合作。研究著重於分析政策如何連結不同照顧場域,以及制度安排與服務使用之間的關係。Long-term care policy shapes how services are delivered, funded, and coordinated. We study how policy connects care settings and how those arrangements relate to service use.
- 研究目標Objectives
- 了解制度設計如何影響服務可近性與連續性。Understand how system design shapes access and continuity.
- 研究方法Methods
- 政策分析、服務利用研究與質性訪談。Policy analysis, service utilization studies, and qualitative interviews.
02 / 研究主題Research area
長期照顧評估Long-Term Care Assessment
評估工具會影響照顧需求如何被辨識,以及照顧計畫如何制定。研究涵蓋需求分級、功能測量與復能服務人員能力。Assessment tools shape how care needs are identified and how plans are developed. We study needs classification, measures of functioning, and the competencies used in reablement.
- 研究目標Objectives
- 讓評估結果更能支持服務規劃與實務。Make assessment more useful for service planning and practice.
- 研究方法Methods
- 德菲法、量表發展及心理計量檢驗。Delphi methods, instrument development, and psychometric evaluation.
03 / 研究主題Research area
國際健康功能身心障礙與健康分類系統(ICF)International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)
ICF 提供描述身體功能、活動、參與及環境因素的共同架構。研究探討如何以此架構理解不同生活情境中的功能差異。The ICF provides a shared framework for describing body functions, activities, participation, and environmental factors. We use it to understand differences in functioning across everyday settings.
- 研究目標Objectives
- 理解功能表現如何隨時間及生活情境而改變。Understand how functioning changes over time and across contexts.
- 研究方法Methods
- 縱貫資料分析與評估工具因素結構檢驗。Longitudinal analysis and evaluation of assessment factor structure.
04 / 研究主題Research area
身心障礙鑑定與功能評估Disability Identification and Functional Assessment
身心障礙鑑定會影響福利服務需求的辨識。研究關注成人功能評估工具的測量品質,以及如何應用評估資料來支持服務規劃。Disability eligibility assessment informs how welfare service needs are identified. We examine the measurement properties of adult functioning instruments and how assessment data can support service planning.
- 研究目標Objectives
- 改善需求辨識及評估工具的適用性。Improve identification of needs and the applicability of assessment tools.
- 研究方法Methods
- 效度與信度檢驗、次級資料與探索性模型分析。Validity and reliability testing, secondary data analysis, and exploratory modeling.
