Abstract

Taiwan's rapidly ageing population has increased the demand for Indonesian migrant workers as elderly caregivers. However, many caregivers have limited opportunities for formal training in elderly care. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a community-based health education intervention on Indonesian migrant caregivers' knowledge of elderly care in Taiwan. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted among 23 Indonesian migrant caregivers. Participants attended a single-session educational program consisting of lectures, interactive discussions, and experience-sharing activities. Knowledge was measured using a validated 20-item questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data normality was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and because the data were not normally distributed (p < 0.05), differences between pre-test and post-test scores were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The mean knowledge score increased from 12.8 to 14.0, with a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p < 0.001). Although the improvement was relatively modest, the findings indicate that a brief community-based educational intervention can significantly improve caregivers' knowledge of elderly care. The modest improvement may reflect the single-session design and participants' demanding work conditions, which limited opportunities for reinforcement and follow-up learning. These findings suggest that brief educational programs are a feasible initial strategy for caregiver capacity building. Future programs should incorporate repeated training sessions, practical simulations, language training, and follow-up support to achieve more sustainable improvements in caregivers' competence.
