• 根據內政部所公布「台灣老年人口占總人口比率與老化指數」，至2013年12月底，老年人口已增加到2,694,406人，占總人口11.52%，老化指數為80.51％，這說明臺灣已是高齡化社會，且人口結構正邁向高齡社會。（資料來源：內政部統計處，2014）
  本研究以公立安養機構老人為研究對象，主要在探討老人的生命態度、生活需求、生活滿意度，以及人口變項、生命態度、生活需求對生活滿意度的影響。本研究有助於安養機構了解老人在機構的生活需求以及生命態度與生活需求、生活滿意度間之相關性，作為機構規劃老人生活空間、推展服務措施之參據，讓老人在機構中得以安享天年。
  本研究結果顯示：公立安養機構老人的生命態度普遍傾向正面思考，不避諱與人談死亡的話題。生活需求需要的是家人或親友的經濟資助。另外，健康狀況良好者、經常與子女連絡者及進住時間愈久者，在愉悅感有較高的生活滿意度。生活需求愈高者，對充實感及滿足感之生活滿意度愈高。

  Aiming the aged people living at the public nursing homes, this study explores life attitude, life demand and life satisfaction of the aged people, and studies the influence factors on the life satisfaction. The study will help the nursing homes understand life demand of the aged and the interrelations among life attitude, life demand and life satisfaction. As a reference of this study, the nursing homes may program the living space and develop service for the aged people. Hereafter they may enjoy their twilight years at their nursing homes.
  The study shows that the aged people living at public nursing homes commonly tend to have positive thinking on life attitude. They are not shy to talk about the topic of death with people. Their expectations of life demands are financial supports from their families, relatives and friends. The aged people are satisfied with their nursing homes, especially with high satisfaction at the management, guidance and assistance in life. However, meals gain the lowest satisfaction rate. In addition, aged people in good health condition keep close contacts with their children and live longer at the nursing homes. They are in higher satisfaction with life attitude. The more demands on life they have, the more life satisfaction with fulfillment they have.
