護理人員對芳香療法之知識、態度對其行為之影響
The Knowledge, Attitude, Behavior and Related Factors toward Aromatherapy among Nurses
摘要
背景／目的 探討護理人員芳香療法的知識、態度對其行爲之影響。 方法 本研究採橫斷式調查法(cross-sectiooal survey)，以中部某醫學中心之護理人員爲研究對象，（護理人員共1198人）依病房護理人員人數分層配額(Quota Sampling)取樣共400位，總共回收予52份（回收率約88%）。 結果 研究對象平均年齡爲鄴歲（範圍20-58歲），利用描述性統計分析得知研究對象的芳香療法知識偏低、態度趨正向，僅99位(28.1%)護理人員有使用芳香療法的行爲。一般護理人員擁有芳香療法的知識偏低（答對率56%），由邏輯式迴歸分析得知對芳香療法有興趣以及健康狀況普通的護理人員，較有使用芳香療法的行爲。 結論 由於研究結果顯示研究對象的芳香療法知識偏低，而芳香療法是常見另類療法之一，臨床護理人員與病患接觸最多，常需提供護理指導與諮詢，若能激發護理人員對芳香療法的興趣，進而接受芳香療法相關知識的教育訓練，以增進在臨床照護時協助病患尋求合宜輔助治療的方式。

Background/Purpose. To investigate the knowledge, attitudes, behavior and related factors toward aromatherapy among nurses. Methods In this cross-sectional study, a structured questionnaire was administered to 352 nurses recruited by quota sampling of 1198 staff nurses at a medical center in central Taiwan. Results. The mean age was 33 years old (range, 20-58 years). The accuracy of the questionnaire was 56%. The survey showed that the nurses lacked knowledge about aromatherapy. The attitudes toward aromatherapy were influenced by their knowledge of aromatherapy, the source of the knowledge and the level of interest in aromatherapy. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the use of aromatherapy was affected by the interest in aromatherapy. Conclusion. The majority of nurses lacked sufficient knowledge about aromatherapy.
