摘要

目標：本研究旨在運用eHealth科技系統之同儕支持社群、量身訂作教學、及專業促進與支持等介入方式，以改善國民中學健康教學者之健康生活型態及健康專業能力。方法：以準實驗研究設計之實驗組對照組前後測設計，選取95年度教育部核定健康促進示範縣市國民中學健康教學者為研究對象，共53名教師為實驗組對象（有效樣本回收率為70.67%）；而對照組對象則為65名（有效樣本回收率為86.67%），完全不予介入。兩組皆於介入前完成前測問卷，介入期兩個月，介入後同步進行後測。結果：本介入計畫在「工作感受」上，於控制前測得分的前提下，實驗組於「工作感受」、「健康信念」、「生活技能」、「自我效能」、及「健康行為意向」顯著較對照組表現良好。結論：本研究所發展之eHealth科技系統具良好介入成效，此一克服時間與空間的障礙，且低成本高效率的介入方式，值得做為未來健康教學者健康促進計畫中的重要參考工具。

Objectives: This study aims to establish the eHealth technology program and to evaluate its effectiveness in middle school health educators. It is hoped that this intervention can strengthen professional competency and encourage healthy behaviors and lifestyles in the target population. The eHealth intervention is based on health behavior theories and models, and it also incorporates the functions and strategies of the eHealth interactive technology, including the use of peer support communities, tailored education, and professionally facilitated education and support programs. Methods: Subjects were from health-promoting schools selected by the Ministry of Education in the Academic Year 2005. A nonequivalent control group design was used. The experimental group (n=53) received the eHealth intervention for two months, while the control group (n=65) received nothing. The outcomes were evaluated using a close-ended questionnaire. Results: The eHealth intervention improved perception of working conditions, health beliefs, life skills, and self-efficacy, and encouraged the adoption of healthy behaviors among middle school health educators. Conclusions: This intervention can provide a valuable reference for those public health policy-makers and health researchers who seek to implement the health educators' health promotion program through eHealth technology.
