職場醫療衛生單位醫護人員健康行爲之調查
Health Related Behaviors of Health-Care Professionals Working in the Health-Care Units in the Workplace
摘要
我國「勞工健康保護規則」規定僱用勞工數300人以上或從事特別危害健康作業勞工人數在100人以上之職場，應設置醫療衛生單位，並規定些單位應辦勞工之健康教育、健康促進及衛生指導之策劃與實施。醫療衛生單位人員理應是職場之健康行為的表率，因此本研究之目的在探討這些醫護人員之健康行為的現況。我們以問卷調查方式，對全國所有職場醫療衛生單位收集資料。結果在由衛生署取得之名單當中回收護理人員問卷296份及醫師問卷20份。由問卷結果發現護理人員有一半以上在35歲以下，但醫師幾乎全都35歲以上，且有一半在55歲以上。整體健康狀況的自我認知方面，護理人員認為自己的健康狀況與同年齡的人比較是「沒有差別」者最多(45.9%)，另但有36.4%認為「稍微好」或「非常好」；醫師則以「稍微好」者最多(47.4%)，另有21.1%認為「非常好」。在健康行為方面，護理人員與醫師皆少有抽菸或飲酒習慣者，飲食則一半以上有定時定量，大多偏向較健康的飲食習慣。但護理人員只有26.7%「時常」或「幾乎每週」做到「每週至少運動3次，每次至少30分鐘」的水準，醫師則有68.5%「時常」或「幾乎每週」做到。本調查發現臺灣地區職場醫療衛生單位醫護人員雖大致有良好之健康行為，仍有改善的空間，尤其是在規則運動方面。

The ”Regulations on the Protection of Labors' Health” mandates that business establishments with 300 employees or more in total or 100 employees or more engaged in hazardous tasks should have on-site health-care unit and that the unit should ”plan and execute workers' health education, health promotion, and health consultation.” Health professionals of these units should be the role models in terms of health behaviors in the workplace, and therefore the objectives of this study is to evaluate the current state of health behaviors of the health professionals working in the on-site health-care units. We conducted a questionnaire survey using a list obtained from the Department of Health and had responses from 296 nurses and 20 physicians. The questionnaire survey showed that more than a half of the nurses were under 35 years of age, while almost all physicians were more than 35 years old with a half above 55 years of age. In the self-rated health status, most nurses believed that they were ”about the same status” as others of their age (45.9%), and 36.4% regarded themselves as in the ”slightly healthier” or ”very healthy” status. As to physicians, most of them regarded themselves as ”slightly healthier” (47.4%), and 21.1% believed they were ”very healthy.” As to health behaviors, both physicians and nurses had smokers and habitual drinkers of alcoholic beverage, and most physicians and nurses maintained healthy diet and dietary habits. However, while 68.5% of the physicians ”often” or ”almost very week” practiced the ”exercise at least three times a week and at least 30 minutes each time” guidelines, only 26.7% of the nurses reported that. Our study showed that physicians and nurses had of the health-care units of business establishments in Taiwan generally have good health behaviors, there are still aspects for improvement, particularly in terms of regular exercises.
