摘要

本研究旨在探討中部地區幼兒電視收視行為與健康情形的相關性，採問卷調查方式進行探究，以自編幼兒電視收視行為與健康情形之調查問卷作為本研究之工具，以多階段簡單隨機抽樣方式抽取苗栗縣、臺中市、臺中縣、彰化縣、南投縣以及雲林縣共六個縣市1,063位4～6足歲之幼兒，研究中採描述性及推論性統計方法進行分析。本研究結論如下：一、中部地區幼兒之電視收視行為為良好的情況。二、女生、正常體型及沒有近視的幼兒，其電視收視行為分別比男生、其他體型、有近視的幼兒佳；臺中市幼兒的電視收視行為比其他縣市的幼兒佳；一週中收看5天以下電視的幼兒，其電視收視行為優於一週收看6天及7天電視的幼兒；平日收看電視1小時以下、假日收看2小時以下的幼兒，其電視收視行為優於平日收看超過1小時以上、假日收看超過2小時以上的幼兒；家中只有1台電視機、電視機沒有放在餐廳及主臥房、沒有裝設有線電視的幼兒，其電視收視行為，比家中擁有2台電視機以上、電視機放在餐廳及主臥房、家中裝設有線電視的幼兒佳。三、幼兒背景變項中以幼兒體型對其電視收視行為之預測力最高。四、電視收視行為對幼兒之身體、心理、社會健康以及幼兒健康情形總量表皆具預測能力，其中又以幼兒健康情形總量表的解釋力最高。最後，研究者根據本研究結果提出若干建議，以供幼兒照顧者及學前教育機構之參考。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between television (TV) viewing behavior and health status among children. The questionnaire survey method was adopted. The research tool was a self-developed questionnaire titled ”survey on TV viewing behavior and health status of children”. Based on multi-stage simple random sampling, this study selected a total of 1,063 children aged between 4~6 from six cities/counties in central Taiwan, including Miaoli County, Taichung City, Taichung County, Changhua County, Nantou County, and Yunlin County. Data collected from these children were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The main results found are as follows: 1. Children's TV viewing behavior showed good status. 2. (1) Girls, with a normal body build, without near-sightedness of children had better TV viewing behavior than boys, those with other types of body builds, with near-sightedness. (2) Children living in Taichung City had better TV viewing behavior than children living in other cities and counties. (3) Children who watched TV no more than five days a week had better TV viewing behavior than who watched TV 6-7 days a week. (4) Children who watched TV less than one hour a day, less than two hours on a holiday had better TV viewing behavior than those who watched TV more than one hour a day, more than two hours on a holiday. (5) Children with only one TV set in the household, no TV set placed in the dining room or the bedroom, no access to cable TV had better TV viewing behavior than those with two or more TV sets in the household, with a TV set placed in any of the two places, with access to cable TV. 3. The variable of children's body builds could best predict children's TV viewing behavior. 4. Children's TV viewing behavior had predicting power for their physical, mental, and social health as well as overall health status. Among these aspects, children's overall health status could be better explained by children's TV viewing behavior. According to the study outcomes, some concrete suggestions were brought up as references for caregiver and preschool settings.
