This pilot study evaluates satisfaction with foreign home care arrangement from the perspectives of older adults, their family members, and their foreign home care workers.
A matched cross-sectional sample of 148 family members and foreign home care workers and 90 older care recipients completed a satisfaction survey in the years 2007-2008.
Foreign home care workers' satisfaction was directly associated with family members' and care recipients' satisfaction. In addition, the well-being of older care recipients and foreign home care workers was directly associated with their satisfaction with this arrangement. Finally, there was an inverse association between care recipients' cognitive functioning and family members' satisfaction.
This study demonstrates the complex associations between the various stakeholders involved in this caregiving arrangement. It is possible that better working conditions would result in improved satisfaction with services of all parties involved.
本试点研究从老年人、其家庭成员和其外籍家庭护工的角度评估对外籍家庭护理安排的满意度。
在 2007-2008 年，对 148 名家庭成员和外籍家庭护工以及 90 名老年护理接受者进行了一项匹配的横断面样本满意度调查。
外籍家庭护工的满意度与家庭成员和护理接受者的满意度直接相关。此外，老年护理接受者和外籍家庭护工的幸福感与他们对这种安排的满意度直接相关。最后，护理接受者的认知功能与家庭成员的满意度呈负相关。
本研究表明了涉及这种护理安排的各个利益相关者之间复杂的关联。改善工作条件可能会提高所有相关方对服务的满意度。
