本研究目的在探討接受居家服務老人的生活品質及其相關因素。採結構式問卷，以高雄市社會局委託辦理之各居家服務中心，收案已滿2個月的65歲以上老人為取樣對象，完成132份有效問卷。結果發現：（１）整體生活品質得分，平均值40.98分，標準化得分為51.23分，其四個分範疇的得分指標由高到低依序為社會關係、環境、心理、生理健康；（２）日常活動能力、睡眠、身心殘障身份、視力、社會福利身份別、年齡依序是整體生活品質的重要預測因子，可解釋整體生活品質總變異數的45.6％。故規劃居家服務的老人服務時，社政與衛政應有更多的合作，加強接受居家服務的老人復健工作，以維持或增加其日常活動的能力，如此才能真正提昇生活品質。

ADL, sleep, psychiatric disable identity, sight, socioeconomic status, and age were the significant predictors in overall quality of life, and accounted for 45.6% of the total amount of variance. Reinforcing rehabilitation of elders would increase or maintain their general well-being. More com-operations between the Department of Social Affairs and Health are needed in order to increase the quality of life among elders.
