目的
旨在探討健康產業從業人員對長期照顧2.0措施的知識、態度與行為之關聯性。
方法
採便利抽樣、橫斷面設計及不記名網路問卷方式收集資料，研究對象為中部地區健康產業從業人員，共發放400份問卷，回收有效問卷共352份（回收率88.00％）。以SPSS 25.0統計軟體進行各項資料統計分析，包含描述性統計、推論性統計分析。
結果
樣本以女性、41-50歲、大學學歷、已婚、核心家庭居多。樣本對長照2.0知識，平均答對率60.77％，尚需改善；態度及行為平均得分均屬適中程度、積極正向。樣本的性別、是否喜歡老人、願意和老人同住、年齡、學歷、家庭組成分別在長照2.0知識、態度及行為有顯著差異。從業人員的長照2.0知識越高、態度越好、行為越正向。年齡、學歷、家庭組合、知識、態度對長照2.0行為具有顯著預測力。

Purposes
This study aimed to investigate the correlations between knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of health industry practitioners concerning measures for Taiwan’s Long-Term Care Plan 2.0.
Methods
A cross-sectional study design was employed. Subjects were selected from amongst health industry practitioners in central Taiwan using convenience sampling. Data were collected using an anonymous online questionnaire. A total of 400 questionnaires were administered, and 352 valid responses were received (response rate: 88.00%). Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted on the collected data using SPSS 25.0.
Results
The results indicated that most of the subjects were married, women, aged 41-50 years, with a university education and living in nuclear families. The average correct response rate for knowledge regarding the Long-Term Care Plan 2.0 was 60.77%, indicating scope for further improvement. Average scores for attitudes and behaviors were moderate, suggesting a level of proactivity and positivity among the subjects. Gender, affinity toward the elderly, willingness to live with the elderly, age, educational level, and family composition were associated with significant differences in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding the Long-Term Care Plan 2.0. Practitioners with a high level of Long-Term Care Plan 2.0 knowledge also exhibited better attitudes and more positive behaviors. Age, educational level, family composition, knowledge, and attitudes were significant predictors of behaviors regarding the Long-Term Care Plan 2.0.
Conclusions
It is imperative for the government and healthcare institutions to intensify efforts in promoting and publicizing long-term care services through various channels. This will lead to an increased awareness and deeper understanding of such resources among the public, thereby aiding individuals in selecting the most suitable long-term care plan for themselves.
