遷居對老年人而言，是相當大的一個人生事件或危機，如何協助自願或非自願遷 居至安療養機構的老人適應機構生活，將是安療養機構中以護理人員為首的專業中相當重要 的課題，而護理人員更應重視這個問題。首先應從了解老人遷居後的需求和感受為起點，再 言如何協助其適應；此乃本個案研究欲探討之重點。採個案研究法，將實際護理過程寫成 6 篇的行為過程記錄， 探討一位老人面對遷居事件的反應和想法。 參考 Moos 及 Schaefer (1986) 提出的概念架構後，提出本個案研究的概念架構，包括三個主要因素類別， 協助整 理及呈現所得的結果。並提出護理人員如何在機構政策和個案需求的衝突中發揮護理功能， 以及協助老人和照顧者互相接納彼此想法，達到兩者可以接受的程度，使個案較能安全且適 應的度過機構生活的人生階段。
