摘要

本研究旨在探討溫泉體驗者，對溫泉認知、療效認知及健康促進之影響情形，以谷關溫泉體驗遊客為研究對象。採問卷調查為資料收集之工具，有效問卷共578份，有效率回收率達96.3%。所得資料經獨立t檢定、單因子變異數分析(ANOVA)、卡方檢定、Tukey事後檢定及皮爾森相關分析(Pearson)後得如下結果：
溫泉體驗者，體驗時間，以3年以上及一年內從事2-5次者居多；療效認知，以「情緒會獲得舒緩」最高；對健康促進，以「體驗後循環系統會有所改善」最高。社經背景對健康促進，除了婚姻狀況未達顯著差異外，其餘各項目均達顯著差異；不同婚姻狀況、年齡及平均月收入在療效認知上也達顯著差異。溫泉體驗對健康促進與療效認知，兩者相關顯著。年齡、職業及婚姻狀況在體驗持續時間及持續時間和不同體驗次數對「療效認知」也達顯著差異；另外，體驗次數對「健康促進」差異亦顯著水準。
根據研究結果提出相關建議，以供民眾從事溫泉體驗之參考，亦可作為業者設施規劃及經營之依據。
