The study of influential factors to fruit and vegetable intake behavior among college students by focus group interview

本研究以焦點團體訪談方式進行，目的在深入瞭解大學生攝取蔬果的行為經驗， 探討影響蔬果攝取行為的可能因素。研究對象為六所大學校院的53位學生，共進行六場焦點團體訪談。經編輯式資料分析結果，影響大學生蔬果攝取行為的因素為多層面影響力，包括個人層面影響力、人際層面影響力及環境層面影響力。對於促進大學生的蔬果攝取行為，建議應提高大學生對蔬果攝取的正向結果期望、建立行動能力、提供家庭及同儕的社會支持、提高蔬果可獲性及排除可能的環境障礙。本研究也針對蔬果攝取議題的未來研究提出建議。

The purpose of this research was to gain an insight into the experience toward college students' intake of fruit and vegetable (f&v) and to explore potential factors influencing f&v intake behavior. Six focus group interviews were conducted with 53 students enrolled in six colleges. Data were analyzed by using qualitative research method. Three levels of influence were identified: intra-personal influences, inter-personal influences and physical environmental influences. In conclusion, college students' f&v intake behavior is affected by multiple levels of influence. Interventions to promote f&v intake are needed to target multilevel factors, such as emphasizing positive outcome expectancy, developing action skills, providing family & peer support, increasing availability of f&v and reducing environmental barriers. Finally, recommendations for the future research are made as well.
