A Study of Infants' Physical Activities and Self-Care Skills Learning - Base on the Public Infant Care Center in New Taipei City

本研究欲探究托嬰中心之嬰幼兒身體動作與生活自理能力的學習現況，以及了解送托家長對於嬰幼兒身體動作與生活自理能力的認知及期待。本研究以新北市不同區域六家公共托育中心之托育人員及送托家長為主要研究對象。採問卷調查，包含托育人員及家長二種問卷，共發放122份問卷，有效回收率達99％。研究發現：托育人員年齡，以26—40歲為主；教育程度以大專院校畢業居多，93.4％取得保母專業證照；多數托育人員每週安排5—7次以上帶領嬰幼兒進行身體動作及生活自理的活動。送托家長年齡以31—35歲及36—40歲居多；嬰幼兒送托月齡以4—6個月大及7—9個月大居多，且以第一次送托至公共托育中心比例高；送托家長對於嬰幼兒身體動作及生活自理活動之滿意度均為「非常滿意」與「滿意」；送托家長在家庭日常生活中，引導嬰幼兒進行身體活動及生活自理能力練習之頻率，以常常進行（每週至少5次或天天做）為高；但在執行的困難度上，則表示嬰幼兒在家中仍有依賴性、沒耐心與容易分心，同時擔心幼兒弄亂家中環境，而容易出現代勞情形。
