紓壓與健康：農業旅遊對遊客疲勞感及壓力的影響

Stress Relief and Health: The Impact of Agritourism on Tourists' Fatigue and Stress

過去研究指出，農業旅遊透過自然接觸與農事體驗，不僅具有休閒效益，亦具備健康促進的潛力。然相關文獻對遊客身心健康效益的系統性檢驗仍有限，特別是COVID-19疫後，健康旅遊需求增加，農業旅遊之健康功能更受重視。因此本研究主要探討農業旅遊對遊客疲勞感與壓力之影響，並分析不同社經背景的差異。
研究依據文獻探討發展結構式問卷，研究工具包含個人基本資料、疲勞評估量表（FAS）與壓力量表（DASS-21），採事後回溯法設計問卷題項，以立意抽樣方式選取現地參與宜蘭冬山鄉農業旅遊的遊客，共得有效問卷298份，並以SPSS進行相關統計分析。結果顯示：（1）農業旅遊對遊客疲勞感具有顯著正向影響，整體疲勞感平均數由旅遊前2.80降至旅遊後2.53；（2）農業旅遊對遊客壓力感亦具緩解效果，整體壓力平均數由2.94降至2.66；（3）農業旅遊對不同社經背景遊客的疲勞感與壓力影響效果，多無顯著差異，惟年齡變項的壓力影響達顯著差異。基於研究發現，建議政府與教育單位推動農業旅遊作為壓力管理與生活品質提升的公共健康策略之一，進一步發展具有療癒導向的農業旅遊模式，以實現旅遊健康效益之最大化。

Previous research has shown that agritourism, through its interaction with nature and agricultural experiences, offers not only leisure benefits but also the potential to promote health. However, systematic research examining the benefits to tourists' physical and mental health remains limited. This research, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to an increased demand for health tourism and agritourism's health benefits. Therefore, this study examines the impact of agritourism on tourists' fatigue and stress, analyzing differences across socioeconomic backgrounds.
Based on this literature review, a structured questionnaire was developed. The questionnaire included basic personal information, the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS), and the Stress Scale (DASS-21). A post hoc retrospective questionnaire was used to design the questionnaire items. Purposive sampling was used to select tourists participating in agritourism in Dongshan Township, Yilan. A total of 298 valid questionnaires were obtained, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. The results showed that: (1) agricultural tourism had a significant positive effect on tourists' fatigue, with the average overall fatigue score decreasing from 2.80 before the tour to 2.53 after the tour; (2) agricultural tourism also had a relieving effect on tourists' stress, with the average overall stress score decreasing from 2.94 to 2.66; (3) there was no significant difference in the effects of agricultural tourism on fatigue and stress among tourists from different socioeconomic backgrounds, except for the significant difference in the stress effect of age.
