摘要

本研究以台大物理治療畢業生為樣本，進行就業現況與工作情形之普查，以瞭解物理治療人力資源的變化。本研究第一部份為現況調查，資料顯示：22屆畢業生，計500名，男女比例約4:7，平均年齡為32.7±6.4歲，57.5%的人畢業後再進修，30.8%專業學歷為碩士級以上。有51.65%從事本行，其中僅45.1%在國內服務，占畢業生總數23.3%，流失率近8成。第二部份為在國內從事本行者之調查，發現71.4%集中於北部地區、56.3%在台北市、而70.5%在醫學中心或區域醫院工作。第三部份為國內從事本行者工作情形之問卷調查，問卷回收率為74.1%。結果顯示，大多數人從事臨床工作，其中半數工作有專科化，以骨科居冠。平約每月薪資為37,600±8,700元，有72.6%的人表示對薪資不滿意，但66.2%表示對目前工作感到滿意。綜合以上資料發現：過半數在國內從事本行者約對其工作滿意；但檢視其流失率卻居高不下。因此本文作者建議早日制訂物理治療師法，保障其工作權益；並設置物理治療研究所，提供深造機會，以挽留部份人才為民服務，避免教育資源的浪費。

A survey of physical therapy graduates from National Taiwan University was conducted by mailed questionnaires and telephone- interview of the graduates. The purposes of this study were 1) to establish a basic data file of the physical therapy graduates, 2) to investigate the distribution and the working situations of the graduated physical therapists in Taiwan area. There were 500 graduates by the end of October, 1992. The ratio between male and female graduates was around 4:7. The mean age was 32.7±6.4 years old. Around 57% of the total graduates continued studying after graduation. There were 30.8% of the total graduates who were studying at graduate schools of physical therapy or had already obtained Masters or PhD degrees in physical therapy. Only 51.6% of those graduates were working as physical therapists, 45.1% of them in Taiwan　area. Of the total graduates only 23.3% were physical therapists in Taiwan area, 71.4% of them in northern Taiwan, 56.3% in Taipei city, and 70.5% at medical centers or district hospitals. The return rate of the questionnaires was 74.1% of those who work in Taiwan area. According to these questionnaires, 49.4% of physical therapists in Taiwan area had a specialty in their work, the most common field being orthopedic physical therapy. The mean salary of those physical therapists was NT$37,600±8,700. Although 66.2% felt satisfied with their job, 3/4 of them thought unsatisfied or very unsatisfied with their salary. This information is very essential for setting policies of National Health Care Planning and for the physical therapy education program.
