本研究旨在探討「家的意義」對青壯年人（30-64歲）「居家養老」意圖的影響。隨著人口老齡化的加劇，了解影響人們選擇在家中安度晚年的因素變得愈加重要。研究聚焦於探討由負擔、認知、自我滿足與自我效能所構成並感知的家之情感意義如何影響青壯年人在面對老年生活時，選擇繼續留在現有住所或搬遷至其他形式居住安排的意圖。
透過線上調查問卷收集資料，研究使用AMOS 26並以結構方程模型（SEM）進行分析，以了解家的情感意義對青壯年人居家養老意圖的影響。研究結果顯示，家作為一個情感支持和安全感的來源，對於青壯年人選擇在熟悉的環境中老化具有顯著的正向影響。當個人對家有強烈的情感連結和歸屬感時，他們更有可能選擇在家中度過老年生活，強化了居家養老的意圖。
為了能更全面地理解居家養老意圖，本研究建議未來的研究應採用縱向研究設計，並納入更多社會經濟變數、社區特徵以及社會支持網絡等背景因素。這將有助於更深入地了解影響居家養老意圖的多重因素及其交互作用。

This study explores the determinants of aging in place (AIP) intention among mid-age and younger adults, emphasizing the psychological concept "Meaning of Home" (MOH). Using AMOS 26 for structural modeling analysis, the research identifies a significant positive relationship between MOH and AIP intention (β = 0.561, p < 0.001), which suggesting that a strong emotional connection to one's home promotes aging in place. The research highlights how a deep sense of belonging and identity associated with one’s residence can enhance the desire to remain in that space during later life stages. This emotional connection is presented as a vital element influencing housing decisions as individuals approach older age. Future research should consider longitudinal studies, additional socio-economic variables, and contextual factors like neighborhood characteristics and social support networks to enhance understanding of AIP intentions.
