由於老年人口日增，慢性長期患者增多，工商社會小家庭均無法週全的照顧失能老人或慢性病患，故長期照護機構便應運而生，也提供臨床護理人員另一專業的工作領域。為瞭解在這些機構服務護理人員的工作感受、對工作滿意度狀況，故進行本研究。 人員為研究對象，共收116名，主要參考MMSS量表中譯後將工作滿意度分八個層面，並進行專家效度與α值信度檢定，研究者直接將問卷交給護理之家的負責人，解釋填寫事後留下回郵信封寄回。回收率82.7%，可用率81.0%，所得資料經過譯碼後輸入，以SPSS+PC套裝軟體進行統計分析，最後以次數分配、百分比、平均數、標準差、單因子變異數分析和Pearson積差相關等方法整理研究結果。本研究對象在工作滿意度上，以對受賞視肯定、工作環境、人際關係及自主性較為滿意，而待遇與福利方面的滿足程度最低。多數研究對象均未曾在老年護理單位實習，未接受專科及居家護理的訓練，較多數計劃在長期照護機構工作4年以上，對工作整體滿意度均高。此研究結果期能提供醫政相關機構及護理主管，在考量長期照護機構護理人員工作狀況的參考。
