A study of professional ethics、self-efficacy and career identity among optometry students in Taiwan
摘要
各國自新冠肺炎疫情後更加重視醫事人員重要性，也對其於人才培育方面更加關注。以驗光人員為例，其於2016年驗光人員法公布實施後，已正式成為衛福部第15類醫事人員，其專業屬性應當受到關注。而為使專業人員必須遵守專業規範，以提升專業品質與持續改善，並能成為工作指引與決策依據，臺灣各大專校院都相當注重專業倫理之培育，以使學生在進入職場前即要求具備專業倫理知能並能型塑專業行為的正向性。因此本研究以學生為研究對象，探討專業倫理、自我效能與職業認同間之關聯。本研究問卷蒐集學生202份，並以描述性統計及迴歸統計方法等進行分析。研究結果發現，專業倫理對自我效能有顯著正向影響、專業倫理對職業認同有顯著正向影響、自我效能對職業認同有顯著正向影響且自我效能對專業倫理與職業認同具有中介效果。本研究之結果可供學術界未來繼續探討臺灣視光科系學生專業倫理、自我效能與職業認同關聯等之參考，並可提供臺灣大專校院視光科系專業倫理教育、職涯規劃及醫事人員相關繼續教育之參考。

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, nations worldwide have increasingly recognized the significance of healthcare professionals and placed greater emphasis on talent cultivation within the field. Taking optometrists as a case study, since the implementation of the Optometrists Act in 2016, they have officially been classified as Category 15 healthcare professionals by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, highlighting the importance of their professional attributes. To ensure adherence to professional standards, enhance professional quality, foster continuous improvement, and establish guidelines for work and decision-making, Taiwanese universities and colleges have placed significant emphasis on cultivating professional ethics. This effort aims to equip students with the necessary ethical knowledge and shape positive professional behaviors before they enter the workforce. This study focuses on students and investigates the relationships among professional ethics, self-efficacy, and career identity. A total of 202 student responses were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and regression statistical methods. The findings indicate that professional ethics positively influence self-efficacy and career identity. Additionally, self-efficacy positively impacts career identity, and it mediates the relationship between professional ethics and career identity. The results of this study provide insights for future academic research on the interplay between professional ethics, self-efficacy, and career identity among optometry students in Taiwan. Furthermore, they offer guidance for the development of professional ethics education, career planning, and continuing education for optometry programs in Taiwanese universities and colleges.
