摘要

大學教師在一般人眼中是一個社會地位崇高的工作，但近年來發生多起大學教師過勞死的事件，不禁令人思疑：「如何讓大學教師有更健康的身體為學術與教育打拚？」。「教學、研究、服務」是大學教師的職責，但許多大學教師因為沈浸於研究而忘了自已，或對行政工作的責任心而忽視身體所發出的健康警訊。當政府與社會大眾在追求高等教育的品質之際，大學教師的工作品質與健康狀況也應獲得同等重視。因此本研究針對台灣地區的大學校院教師做一全面性調查，以求更了解目前大學教師自覺的健康情形與他們從事規律運動的情形。本研究的問卷在2005年6月底進行發放800份，共回收150份有效問卷。研究結果顯示在150位研究對象中只有不到一半的教師是無內臟器官自覺性疾病徵兆，而關節疼痛、腰酸背痛、頭痛、胸悶胸痛等毛病困擾著超過半數的教師。僅管如此，有從事規律運動的教師卻只有2/3，有19%的人表示過去曾經從事過規律運動，然而現在並沒有從事規律運動，更有14%的教師從未有過從事規律運動。藉由對大學教師的健康與規律運動情形的調查，政府教育部門及學校單位更能知道應該提供大學教師何種資源及幫助，避免大學教師因為工作而過勞死的遺憾再次發生。
