留學生的醫療資訊來源之分析

針對有關留學的醫療資訊來源，其正確性、多樣性、及時效性的程度進行分析，希望瞭解及加強目前的資訊來源。自2011年4月至2011年9月間，有229位進行留學生體檢者進入分析，採自填問卷方式（回應率91.6%），進行統計分析整理。女性出國留學的比例明顯比男性多，攻讀碩士及大學學位的比例分別為37.6%和29.6%。60.7%受訪者清楚瞭解其入學體檢單的說明。留學生一致認為來自醫護人員的資訊最正確，但多樣性及時效性則較差；而網路獲得的資料，則與其相反。建議由醫療院所建立專門留學網站，提供相關醫療細節，或進行「答客問」的經營，提供其他搜尋網站聯結，將有助即將出國的留學生能正確，快速，及多樣的獲得相關資訊。

This study focus on different sources of medical information for studying abroad students and compares their accuracy, diversity, and efficiency. Through a questionnaire survey, we tried to find out how to strengthen and improve the existing sources of medical information, and provide relevant recommendations. Self-administered questionnaires were given to students who visited the travel clinics at one medical center in Taipei for studying abroad from April to September of 2011. There were a total of 229 participants, with a questionnaire response rate of 91.6%. Statistical methods were used to analyze the data. There was a significant higher percentage of female students who planned on studying abroad compared to male students. A large proportion of students wanted to pursue master's degree (37.6%), followed by college degree (29.6%). More than half of the students understood the details of the school examination including physical checkup and vaccination requirement (60.7%). Students generally agreed that the best way to obtain medical information is through medical institution and medical professionals as compared to obtaining medical information through the internet, however, the former offers less diversity and is harder to access. We suggested the establishment of specialized study abroad website by medical institution to provide relevant medical details, or ＂Q & A＂ service, providing other linked search sites, which will help students going abroad get the most accurate, diverse, and efficient medical information.
