摘要

近年來，國內屢見強制精神病患送醫過程中發生意外事件。現今社區精神病患的照護体系及法規，仍有缺乏完善之處，值得探討。研究目的在瞭解公共衛生護士強制精神病患送醫之意願相關因素。本研究採橫斷性調查法，問卷內容包括人口學、專業經驗、資源、困難及執行意願等變項。困難及意願題目採四點量表計分。研究對象為中部地區彰化縣、南投縣、台中縣、台中市、雲林縣等衛生所之公衛護士。調查期間自95 年8 月至9 月止，共發出641 份，回收有效問卷為635 份(98%)。以SPSS/PC12.0 套裝軟體進行分析。
結果發現，有91.8%護士表示與危險精神病患接觸有困難，70.8%擔心被告強制送醫之合法性。經分析發現，執行經驗、上級單位支持度以及感受到執行的困難度等三者為與執行意願最密切的主要因素。近二年曾處置過強制送醫者，意願較低；感受到衛生局主辦人員
支持度高者，其意願高；感到強制送醫困難度愈高者，其意願愈低。加強公共衛生護士接觸危險精神病患之專業能力，衛生局主管業務人員主動支持，以及整合強制送醫之流程，將可提高公衛護士執行意願。
