家福會「照顧智力障礙家庭成員的壓力追蹤調查」發佈 (Chinese Version Only)

近年,照顧者壓力是社會關注議題,特別對於有智力障礙成員的家庭,身心負荷難以言喻。家福會先後於2023、2024年於轄下六間綜合家庭服務中心,訪問逾九十位照顧者及了解其智障家庭成員的身心狀況。

調查發現,約七成照顧者自評壓力程度達6分以上,一成二照顧者更達最高10分。近七成照顧者指有病在身,「帶病護弱」的情況普遍。近七成受訪的唯一照顧者指,最大壓力來源是缺乏他人分擔照顧壓力;近九成照顧者反映出現不同程度的身心不適反應。

本會建議政府及早掌握及善用有關智力障礙人士空間數據,以協助作出長遠服務規劃及配對。另外,現行的康復服務中央轉介系統評估時,如發現照顧者為唯一照顧者時,應安排緊急服務配對或優先編配服務。本會會繼續提供專業的家庭輔導服務,以紓緩照顧者壓力,亦將在兩區試行建立義工隊,以上門探訪形式紓緩照顧者壓力,長遠期望能配對義工及照顧者作為照顧者的緊急支援。

Video Sharing: Love in Long-distance Families

Recently, there has been an increase in people choosing to immigrate. Despite the family members being physically apart, their relationship has grown even closer than before with their dedication to maintain the relationship. Family wellbeing should not be altered by distance; what truly matters is the effort we put into maintaining it.

This year, as the Society celebrates its 75th anniversary, we have collaborated with the online platform Mill MILK to convey the message "Family is where Love is." Just like Gary and his daughter Jancy in the video, even though Gary may feel sadness as his daughter goes to study aboard in Canada, he will seek to understand and encourage Jancy to pursue her passions. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, Gary revives his dream of forming a band, bringing the family closer together. Despite the physical apart between Gary and his daughter, their increased communication and improved relationship demonstrate that "Family is where Love is."
