本研究目的探討居住於台北與高雄公立安養中心65歲以上老人的休閒參與，休閒動機，及生活滿意度。研究範圍包括所在位置、居住機構、入住條件、性別、年齡、教育程度、婚姻狀況及健康情形。本研究使用休閒參與量表(LPI)、休閒動機量表(LMS)、生活滿意度量表(LSI-Z)及背景變項等問卷。問卷對象為台北市及高雄市的三家公立老人安養中心，結果顯示休閒參與、休閒動機、及生活滿意度三者間有顯著的相關。其中，參與志願或服務性活動的老人與生活滿意度呈現最大的正相關，被智能動機所引發進而參與休閒活動的老人也顯示最高的正相關，另外自費、高教育程度、已婚及擁有好的健康狀況之老人在休閒參與、休閒動機、及生活滿意度皆明顯高於其他受訪者。本研究發現老人再學習、參與志工活動、家庭與朋友的支持是老人晚年生活中的重要指標。對政府或決策者，應該將休閒納入其政策中，提高其生活滿意度，進而達到成功老化的目標。另外一方面，老人也應該鼓勵自己參與休閒活動，不僅促進生理的健康，心靈的健全也可獲得提升。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the leisure participation, leisure motivation, and life satisfaction for elders over 65 years of age who lived in public senior resident homes in Taipei and Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The survey instruments included the Leisure Participation Involvement (LPI), Leisure Motivation Scale (LMS), Life Satisfaction Index (LSI-Z), and demographic survey. The results indicated that leisure participation, leisure motivation, and life satisfaction were correlated with each other. The senior residents who participated in service and volunteer activities were more likely to feel satisfied in life. The senior residents motivated by learning, discovering, and exploring also experienced higher level of life satisfaction. In addition, the senior residents who were self-paid, attained higher education, married, or possessed good health performed better in leisure participation, leisure motivation, and life satisfaction. For the government, the policy and decision makers should include leisure into senior care institutions so the elders can reach successful aging by experiencing satisfaction in life. On the other hand, the elders should have an understanding of leisure so they can maintain good physical and psychological health in their later life.
