本研究的目的為探討長期照護機構老人的生活適應及相關因素。採相關性研究設計，以立意取樣方式，選取台中縣市13家長期照護機構符合收案標準之老人，共90位為研究對象。研究工具為長期照護機構老人生活適應量表和巴氏量表，及自擬的自覺選擇權、準備度二量表。所得之資料，以SPSS/PC 10.0版套裝軟體進行統計分析。結果顯示生活適應量表之整體平均得分為96.89(SD=13.8)，而生理功能、自覺選擇權和準備度分別和生活適應量表之得分呈顯著正相關；經逐步複迴歸分析法，發現「自覺選擇權」和「生理功能」為長期照護機構老人生活適應最重要的預測變項，共可解釋41.5%的變異量。本研究結果有助於護理人員、社工人員以及機構工作人員暸解長期照護機構老人的生活適應問題及其影響因素，以作為健康專業人員提供照護之依據，藉此減少機構老人的生活適應問題。

The purposes of this descriptive correlational study were to explore life adaptation and its related factors among the elderly living in long-term care facilities. Purposive sampling was used to collect data from 90 elderly residents living in 13 long-term care facilities in Taichung County and Taichung City. The measurement tools included the life adaptation scale and other scales measuring related factors, including functional status, perceived choices and level of preparation. Data were analyzed by SPSS Win10.0. The mean score on the life adaptation scale was 96.89 (SD=13.8). Functional status, perceived choice, and level of preparation were positively correlated with life adaptation. Stepwise multiple regression showed that functional status and perceived choice totally explained 41.5% of the variance in life adaptation. The results of this study may provide nurses, social workers, and facility personnel with useful information about life adaptation and related factors among the elderly living in long-term care facilities. They may also serve as useful references for other health professionals caring for the elderly, especially in relation to reducing life adaptation problems.
