本研究目的為瞭解科學工業園區員工之整體健康分佈情形,採橫斷研究法並利用結構式問卷來收集高科技產業員工個人特質、壓力感受、身心狀況、自覺健康及生活休閒活動等相關資料。研究群體包含2,073位來自積體電路(872位)、光電(739位)、通訊(132位)、生物科技(234位)及精密機械(96位)等五大產業之員工。 主要發現如下:(1)高科技產業員工壓力感受調查中以來自「工作環境」之壓力感受為最高,其次為「自己本身」。其中,又以積體電路產業顯著高於其它產業;探討與自覺健康間之關係,發現壓力感受與自覺健康間呈現負相關(p<.0001)。(2)身心狀況中,每週至少出現1次的症狀,以肩部酸痛(35.1%)為最常見,其次各為頸部酸痛(34.0%)、工作常用肌肉不適(30.0%)、眼睛乾癢(24.9%)及全身多處肌肉不適(24.9%)等;(3)高科技產業員工肌肉骨骼系統傷害中,以酸痛為最普遍之症狀,其中又以肩膀(65.9%)、脖子(60.3%)及下背或腰部(50.1%)等部位最盛行;(4)高科技產業員工表示工作上接觸特別環境或物質以噪音(45%)為最多;各產業中又以積體電路產業員工為最多(15.5%),且相對於生物科技產業員工,發現其造成聽力不佳之OR值為3.31(95%CI = 1.65-6.65)。(5)高科技產業員工最常從事生活休閒活動多為靜態,依序為看電視、聊天、上網等休閒活動。每週至少從事3次以上「宗教活動」、「靜坐/打坐」、「打籃球」或「撞球」休閒活動者,其壓力感受較偶而、從未從事者低。 管理階層應重視員工的工作壓力問題並建立有效之減低壓力策略,以促進員工之身心健康。
The purpose of this study was to investigate the overall health of the workers of a science park. By using cross-sectional study, a series of structured questionnaire was applied to measure physical and mental health, perceived health, stress and personal leisure activities. A total of 2,073 samples was collected including workers from the occupations of semiconductor (n = 872), photoelectron (n = 739), communication (n = 132), biotechnology (n = 234), and precision machinery (n = 96). The important findings were listed as follows: A). Work environment was identified as the main stressor, followed by self-generated stress. Semiconductor workers perceived the highest level of stress among all types of workers. Significant differences were found between stress and perceived health condition (p<.0001). B.) For self-reported physical and mental complaints, neck and shoulder pains were reported as the most common problems with 35.1% and 34% respectively. C). The report of muscles and bones indicated that the highest prevalence of discomfort were shoulders (65.9%), neck (60.3%), and lower back (50.1%) accordingly. D.) Forty-five percent of high-tech workers considered noise as the potential harm in their work environment. Compared to the workers of biotechnology, the odds ratio of hearing loss complaint among the semiconductor workers was 3.31 folds. E.) The leisure activity of the high-tech workers tends to be more sedentary, e.g., watching TV, chattering, browsing website etc. Workers who participate in the activities such as, religion, meditation, basketball and billiards for more than three times a week perceived less stress than those of non-participants. Managers should notice the significance of stress and health complaints in Science Park. Effective control strategies specially related to stress should be developed for promotion of health and welfare among these science park workers.
