摘要

僑生離井背鄉來台求學，面臨生活及環境的改變，若沒有適當的調適，種種壓力會對個人的生理和心理健康造成影響。本研究以某國立大學82學年度註冊的僑生為研究物件，探討僑生來台的適應問題。共寄出1412份問卷，回收517份，回收率為36.8%。資料以SPSS電腦軟體分析處理。研究結果發現用中文表達有困難的有62人(12%)，中文書寫有困難的有56人(10.9%)。覺得課業量太重的有74人(14.2%)。經濟狀況覺得不夠用的和非常不夠用的有114人(22.0%)，目前有工讀的僑生有205人(39.7%)。僑生遇到的適應問題有不瞭解臺灣的教育制度、想念家人、不瞭解臺灣的習俗、無法順利回答考試問題、需工讀賺取足夠的生活費、害怕事情不成功等。僑生遇有問題如情緒困擾、遇到挫折、生病時，以身邊的朋友給予的支援與協助最多。健康方面以傷風、感冒的症狀最多，有413人(79.9%)，面對壓力則容易緊張的有370人(71.6%)。課後僑生多從事靜態和與人接觸較低的活動，例如做功課。
僑生使用僑生輔導室及學校健康中心的頻率偏低，協助僑生適應應加強僑生對僑輔室、學校健康中心的利用及對其工作內容的瞭解。為能更有效的協助僑生面對種種問題，僑輔室及健康中心工作人員功能的再提升為目前當務之急。

Overseas Chinese students must leave home when they come to Taiwan to study. Once they arrive, they must face many challenges as they experience changes in their life and environment. At times this can lead to poor adjustment, and the changes then would not only create stress for the student, but would also affect his/her physical and mental health.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the adjustment problems of Chinese students from overseas who registered for the 1 993 academic year at one national university. Questionnaires were mailed to 1412 Such students, and 517 students responded, making a response rate of 36.8%. Data were analyzed by using SPSS computer software analysis.
The study results revealed that 62 (12%) of the students had difficulty in Chinese oral expression ; 56 (10.9%) of the students had difficulty in Chinese writing ability ; 74 (14.2%) of the students felt that the school work load was too heavy ; 114 (22%) of the students had financial problems and 205 (39.7%) of the students worked part time. As to their encountered adjustment problems, the students did not understand the education system in Taiwan were homesick; did not know the customs in Taiwan; could not answer questions in exams; needed to work part time for living; feared something won’t succeed etc. When the students had emotional distress, were frustrated or ill, they got assistance mostly from their friends. For health problems in the past year, 413 (79.9%) of the students had common colds. When under stress, 370 (71.6%) of the students felt nervous. Students spent the most time on home work and little for extracurricular activities.
An under use of the Foreign Students/Chinese Students from Overseas Affair Office and School Health Center was also noted. It is imperative that students are helped to learn about the Foreign Students/Chinese Students from Overseas Affair Office and School Health Center so that they can profit from all the services available, when needed. Therefore, the role and function of personnel in the Foreign Students/Chinese Students from Overseas Affair Office and School Health Center requires urgent attention.
