臺灣中醫護理技術標準之建構與評值

Developing and Evaluating Nursing Skill Standards of Chinese Medicine in Taiwan

本研究目的為（一）了解目前台灣中醫護理人員臨床上最常執行之10項中醫護理技術，（二）建構台灣中醫護理技術標準流程。採質性研究設計，選取26名北、中、南中醫護理人員進行焦點團體座談後，發現臨床上最常執行之十項中醫護理技術依序為口服中藥法、拔火罐護理、進針前準備護理、起針法、電針護理、針上灸護理、灸法護理、紅外線灸儀技術、外用藥敷法及中藥薰蒸法。之後由7位臨床與學術界專家進行兩回合之Delphi專家問卷調查後，確定10項中醫護理技術標準，並編製成冊。本研究所完成之『台灣中醫護理技術標準手冊』，不但使護理人員對中醫技術有所依循，並可作為未來中醫護理養成教育之教材，提升護理人員對臨床中醫護理技術之認識與照護品質。

The purposes of this qualitative study are to find out the 10 most frequently used standards for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing skills in Taiwan, and to draft the standard protocol for TCM nursing skills. A total of 26 nurses working in Chinese medicine Clinics at various hospitals in Taiwan were invited to participate in focus groups. The 10 most frequently used standards for TCM nursing skills are: oral administration of Chinese medication, therapeutic cupping care, preparation prior to acupuncture, acupuncture needle withdrawal care, electracupuncture care, care for moxibustion with warming needle, therapeutic moxibustion care, care infrared therapy, topical medicine application, and humidifying and bathing methods. The Delphi method by interviewing seven experts is used to evaluate and revise these ten TCM nursing skill standards. After two data-gathering rounds of Delphi survey, the draft of Taiwan Nursing Skill Standards Manual for Traditional Chinese Medicine was completed. The manual not only can help nurses working in TCM be more acquainted with TCM nursing skills, but also serve as nursing educational material in the future, in order to improve the quality of TCM nursing.
