探討COVID-19後疫情時代護理、長照與公衛相關科系學生投入長照產業意圖之影響因素
Influencing Factors on the Intention to Engage in the Long-term Care Industry among College Students with Nursing, Long-term Care and Public Health Majors in the Post-COVID-19 Era
摘要
人口快速老化導致國內的長照產業需求大幅增加。然全球受到新冠肺炎的威脅，可能影響國內長照產業投入意願，因此了解相關科系學生投入長照產業有助於未來長照產業人才之投入。本研究運用計畫行為理論，探討後疫情時代就讀護理、長期照護及公共衛生等相關健康產業科系的學生投入長照產業意圖的影響因素。採線上問卷調查，將問卷連結張貼於社群平台，並說明研究對象之條件等細節，最後符合研究對象納入條件之樣本數共計153份，以SPSS 23.0版套裝軟體進行變異數分析、t檢定、皮爾遜相關分析、多元階層迴歸分析等。而多元階層迴歸分析的結果顯示，影響後疫情時代健康產業相關科系的學生投入長照產業意圖之因素包含「男性」（β = -0.142, p < .05）、「對於投入長照產業工作態度」（β = 0.481, p < .001）、「主觀規範」（β = 0.225, p < .001）及「知覺行為控制」（β = 0.214, p < .01）。本研究發現，對於投入長照產業抱持正向的態度，提升重要他人的支持與勝任感，將增強投入長照產業之意圖。因此，建議健康產業科系之教育單位推動在地化產學合作，增加長照單位之參訪、見習或實習機會，以及增設高齡與長照相關通識課程或學分學程，強化學生對在地長照產業的認同，消除刻板印象或偏見，有助於長照產業人力的發展。

The high speed of the aging population has gradually increased the need of long-term care industry. However, the global threat of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may affect the intentions of students in relevant disciplines to enter the long-term care industry. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence students in health-related disciplines, such as nursing, long-term care, and public health, to enter the long-term care industry. It can contribute to the future supply of talent in the field. This was a cross-sectional online survey and 153 participants completed the survey. One-way ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple hierarchical regression analysis were performed using SPSS 23.0 software. The results of multiple hierarchical regression model revealed that the significant factors included "male" (β = -0.142, p < .05), "attitudes toward the engaging in the long-term care industry" (β = 0.481, p < .001), "subjective norms" (β = 0.225, p < .001) and "perceived behavioral control" (β = 0.214, p < .01). The findings support that holding a positive attitude towards entering the long-term care industry and increasing support and self-efficacy from important others will enhance the intention to enter the long-term care industry. It is recommended that educational institutions in health-related disciplines promote local industry-academia collaboration, increase opportunities for visits, internships, and practical training in long-term care units, and establish geriatric and long-term care-related general education courses or credit programs to strengthen students' identification with the local long-term care industry, eliminate stereotypes or prejudices, and contribute to the development of the long-term care workforce.
