有鑑於慢性病致死率的不斷攀升,世界衛生組織力倡「健康促進」,希望藉由正確的健康資訊及教育,導正民眾的健康認知及行為,增進民眾對健康的主控權。在社區中,衛生所是健康促進服務的主要推動者,而公共圖書館亦肩負健康資訊提供者及健康素養教育者之責,但國內兩者對彼此在健康資訊服務功能的不了解,導致未能運用雙方優勢合作改善健康促進服務。為此,本研究深度訪談5位社區護理師及6位圖書館館員,發現衛生所已積極與許多不同類型機構合作,但公共圖書館之健康資訊服務仍屬起步階段,基於雙方優劣勢之互補關係,彼此樂於合作推行健康促進服務,並提出涵蓋政策面、資訊面及服務面之看法,提供相關單位規劃之參考。
The increasing mortality rate of chronic diseases leads to that the World Health Organization advocates the concept of health promotion aiming to correct people's health awareness and behavior and enhance their public health self-control via use of correct health information and educational activities. Among various types of institution in communities, public health centers provide local health promotion services and public libraries are responsible for improving people's public health information literacy. Because public health centers do not understand the roles of public libraries, and vise versa, no collaborations have been built between them to strengthen health promotion services. The findings of this study showed that public health centers have actively cooperated with various types of institutions, based on interviews with 5 community nurses and 6 librarians. Public libraries have not promoted health information services. A supplementary relationship was found to exist between public health centers and public libraries according to their advantages and disadvantages. In addition, public health centers and public libraries were willing to cooperate to improve health promotion services. A propose consisting of three aspects was formed for policy makers.
