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。」

The Welfare Council’s Charity Raffle 2019 Raised over HK$4 Million
With the generous support of S.K.H. churches, schools and social service units, supporting organisations and members of the public, the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council held the Charity Raffle 2019, which raised some HK$4 million in 7 weeks.   Some members of the advisory board, sponsors, representatives from S.K.H. churches and service users attended the 29th November lucky draw of Charity Raffle event, which was held at the H.K.S.K.H. St James’ Church David Li Community Hall. During the event, the Council thanked sponsors, retailer the elderly volunteers for their contributions and presented awards to recognise their dedicated efforts.   Funds Go to Support the Council’s Services The Revd Richard Tsang, Diocesan General Secretary, Eastern Kowloon, led the prayer ahead of the event. Dr Jane Lee, JP, Director of the Welfare Council, said the Charity Raffle event aimed to encourage public donations so as to create and execute more innovative services and programmes, and provide sustainable support and resources for various community services and groups. In the past 4 years, proceeds raised by the Charity Raffle event went to subsidise a number of services including the S.K.H. Stroke Rehabilitation Charity Fund, special educational needs services and S.K.H. Primary School Counselling Service. The S.K.H. Stroke Rehabilitation Charity Fund has already supported 77 stroke patients to undergo rehabilitative treatment. Out of these patients, 80% of them could reintegrate into the community and 90% of them reported improved mobility after rehabilitation services. Dr Lee was also grateful to over 260 S.K.H. churches, school and social service units as well as more than 30 retailers. Without their unfailing support, the Council would not be possible to raise nearly HK$4 million in a gloomy year for Hong Kong.   Thanks for the Support from All Sectors 43 winning numbers were drawn under the witness of the lucky draw included prize sponsors and the first-prize sponsor for the second consecutive year—Vang Iek Motors (Hong Kong).   In addition to selling raffle tickets, the Welfare Council also explored other ways to raise funds. This year, we worked with the Walnut Shop, a traditional snack brand in Hong Kong, which sponsored us egg biscuits for charity sale. Moreover, we thanked the elderly members and volunteers of the H.K.S.K.H. St Matthew's Neighbourhood Elderly Centre for making exclusive plush toys as charity sales souvenirs.   Last but not least, the Welfare Council presented S.K.H. churches and schools that raised the most funds, and achieved the greatest increase in funds from the previous year with tokens of gratitude. Award recipients are as follows:   Category Most Caring Award Best Fundraising Effort Award i. Diocese of Hong Kong Island St Mary’s Church St James’ Church ii. Diocese of Eastern Kowloon Holy Trinity Cathedral Holy Spirit Church iii. Diocese of Western Kowloon All Saint’s Cathedral St Joseph’s Church iv. Secondary School Section St. Stephen's Girls' College S.K.H. St. Simon's Lui Ming Choi Secondary School v. Primary School Section Diocesan Boys' School Primary Division S.K.H. Holy Cross Primary School vi. Kindergarten Section S.K.H. Kindergarten Hong Kong S.K.H. Kindly Light Church Holy Carpenter Kindergarten   Your generosity truly attributed to the success of the Charity Raffle 2019. Please keep up the spirit of giving and support us again in the coming year.
