香港聖公會福利協會公佈照顧者「自我關顧程度」問卷調查結果 逾八成照顧者壓力偏高 增加 Me-time 有助減低照顧壓力(Chinese Only)
照顧者長時間照顧家人,往往承受沉重的壓力,缺乏足夠的喘息時間。香港聖公會福利協會於 2024 年 7 月至 8 月期間進行「自我關懷狀況」問卷調查,收集共1,079 份有效問卷,旨在了解照顧者自我關顧程度(Me-time)與照顧壓力的關聯性,及探討照顧者的服務需要,以協助社會各界規劃適切的支援服務,並提升大眾對照顧者需要的關注。   照顧時間長 照顧者壓力指數偏高 調查顯示,有 8 成受訪者為 60 歲或以上,以老護老情況令人關注。有過半受訪者的照顧年期逾 5 年以上,反映不少照顧者需長期肩負照顧責任。近 4 成受訪照顧者每日需要提供至少 8 小時的照顧。高達 8 成受訪照顧者表示照顧壓力偏高,當中有 22%受訪者表示完全沒有 Me-time;即使是有 Me-time 的受訪者,亦有近 3 成表示 Me-time 不足夠。調查亦發現,Me-time 的時間與壓力程度密切相關,有 Me-time 的受訪者的照顧壓力明顯比沒有 Me-time 的受訪者為低。   照顧者冀短暫「放下」照顧工作 享受外出 Me-time 調查發現 , 未能放下照顧責任 (40%) 及社區內的服務未能配合照顧者需要 (31%)是導致照顧者未能享受 Me-time 的兩大主因。調查亦發現,近 4 成受訪照顧者希望有服務支援他們外出活動;其次是希望有到戶看顧及家務助理服務(25%)和特定處所多種形式暫託服務(19%)。至於 Me-time 的活動選擇,最多受訪者希望可以去旅行(30%),其次是參與運動或遊戲(19%)和進行社交活動(17%)。   照顧者 Kitman 五年前因母親患上認知障礙症,而辭職成為全職照顧者,全身心肩負照顧者責任,期間承受巨大壓力,令自己身體不適而入院, 「壓力大到真係想死」 。她表示家人不理解照顧者的壓力,令她不敢傾訴,而照顧母親的過程也讓她感到力不從心,身心俱疲。幸在香港聖公會慈光堂長者鄰舍中心社工的鼓勵下,Kitman 開始參與中心活動,並使用中心資源,讓自己有喘息的機會。最近,Kitman 開始放下部份照顧者責任,得以保留部份私人時間,除了心情變得輕鬆,她與母親的關係亦有所改善。 Kitman 的經歷突顯了支援服務對照顧者的重要性,以及 Me-time 能有效舒緩壓力,改善照顧者和被照顧者的關係。   參考以上調查結果,福利協會就照顧者服務提出以下建議:   ⚫ 推廣 Me-time 理念 強調照顧者關顧自己身心需要的重要性 鼓勵照顧者在日常生活中定期安排 Me-time,並建立後備照顧者網絡,預備多位家人、朋友或鄰居作為後備照顧者,在有需要時分擔照顧責任,減輕主要照顧者的負擔;及推動照顧者生涯規劃,規劃照顧歷程及未來生活,與照顧者探索其身份與照顧責任   ⚫ 加強宣傳及優化照顧者服務 提供及積極宣傳更多元化、彈性及個別化的服務,例如到戶看顧、家務助理、日間或住宿暫託服務,建立照顧者的信心,讓照顧者有喘息空間   ⚫ 推動社區共同承擔照顧責任 發展及鞏固鄰舍支援網絡,鼓勵社區持份者以多元化方式支援照顧者,例如提供暫託看顧服務,建立照顧者友善社區   ⚫ 關注在職照顧者需要 推動政商民三方協作,建立照顧者友善的工作環境,協助照顧者平衡工作和照顧責任   福利協會助理總幹事黃翠恩指:「希望透過是次調查,更了解照顧者的需要,鼓勵照顧者關注自己身心健康,愛家人先愛自己,錫自己先至撑得起;同時,我們呼籲社區各界別及政商民一起支持照顧者,推動建立照顧者友善社區,令照顧者透透氣,感到照顧路上一點甜。」
