Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to examine mutual relationships and to compare satisfaction among care receivers, family carers, and migrant care workers in Taiwanese households.
Research design and methods: Data were gathered in two stages (2019-2020) from 855 households and 638 households resectively, using face-to-face and telephone interviews. Analysis included descriptive, linear, and logistic regression.
Results: Family carers' satisfaction was influenced by health burden, cultural support toward migrants, and caregiver experience. Migrant workers' satisfaction correlated with private quarters, ample rest, positive caregiving experiences, and employer support.
Discussion: Fostering respectful relationships and providing welfare, cultural support, and support are crucial for improving home care quality and working conditions. Governments must support caregivers' physical and mental health and provide services.
