本研究目的旨在探討台中市學齡前幼兒在校衛生習慣與教保人員的預防傳染病態度,並分析兩者之間的相關性。以就讀台中市已立案幼托園所的幼兒爲對象,以系統抽樣法選取33所幼托園所,再採叢集抽樣法抽取720名幼兒爲樣本,並使用自編結構式問卷由104位教保人員填答,得有效樣本582人(80.8%)。資料以描述性統計、t考驗、單因子變異數分析及Pearson積差相關等統計方法進行分析,主要結果如下: 一、不同年齡與性別之幼兒,其在校衛生習慣表現有所差異,其中未滿4歲的幼兒在校衛生習慣不佳,4歲以上的幼兒衛生習慣明顯進步;且女孩比男孩有較佳的衛生習慣表現。 二、教保人員的教育程度、薪資和養育子女人數不同,其教導的幼兒在校衛生習慣表現有顯著差異。 三、工作年資爲5~10年的教保人員,預防傳染病的態度得分高於工作年資未滿5年和超過11年以上的組別。 四、教保人員的傳染病預防態度與幼兒在校的衛生習慣表現具有正相關。
This study investigated the hygienic habits of Taichung city preschoolers, the attitudes of their preschool caregivers toward infectious disease prevention, and the correlations between them. Systematic sampling was performed to select thirty-three certified kindergartens and nursery schools in Taichung city. Using random cluster sampling, 720 copies of the structural questionnaire were distributed, and 582 (80.8%) valid samples were collected. The participants included 582 young children and 104 preschool caregivers. Data collected from questionnaires were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. The findings were as follows: 1. Ages and genders of preschoolers were obviously relevant to their hygienic habits in kindergartens and nursery schools. The findings showed that preschoolers under 4 years old have worse hygienic habits than children in kindergartens and nursery schools; substantial improvement was noted in preschoolers above 4 years old. The data showed that girls have better hygienic habit than boys do. 2. The educational level of the preschool caregivers, their salaries, and the numbers of children in their families, were relevant to the hygienic habits of their kindergarten and nursery school students. 3. Preschool caregivers who had 5-10 years work experience got higher scores on the attitude of infectious disease prevention than those with less than 5 years or more than 11 years work experience. 4. The attitudes of preschool caregivers regarding infectious disease prevention were associated with the hygienic habits of their kindergarten and nursery school students.
