A structured interview survey was conducted in a major city in Taiwan to explore and compare older and younger family primary caregivers' well being and their future caregiving plans for these adults with intellectual disability. The sample size was 315 caregivers who were 55 years or older and who cared for adults with intellectual disability and 472 similar caregivers who were under 55 years of age. The results indicated that the older caregivers compared with younger ones reported a lower quality of life, less family support, a more negative perception of having a family member with intellectual disability, and greater worries about the future care arrangements of the adult with intellectual disability. Statistical analysis showed that predisposing, enabling, and need factors influenced the caregivers' future caregiving options.
在台湾的一个主要城市进行了一项结构化访谈调查，以探索和比较年长和年轻的家庭主要照顾者的幸福感，以及他们对这些智障成年人未来的照顾计划。样本包括315名55岁及以上、照顾智障成年人的照顾者，以及472名年龄在55岁以下的类似照顾者。结果表明，与年轻照顾者相比，年长照顾者报告的生活质量较低、家庭支持较少、对有智障家庭成员的看法更消极，并且对智障成年人未来的照顾安排更为担忧。统计分析表明，前置因素、促成因素和需求因素影响了照顾者未来的照顾选择。
