人生哲學課程對於職能治療學系學生心靈安適感之影響—前趨研究

The effect of philosophy of life courses on the spiritual well-being of Occupa-tional Therapy students—a pilot study

背景：哲學課程對醫學院校學生的影響是一個值得探討的問題，本前驅研究探討「人生哲學」課程對職能治療學系學生心靈安適感的影響。方法：受試者為新北市某大學職能治療學系學生34名，受試者在第一學期第三週、第一學期第十六週、第二學期第十六週完成三次「平安量表」以測其心靈安適感的分數。 採用SPSS 20.0計算「平安量表」結果的差異。結果：學生「平安量表」平均分呈現連續上升趨勢，但未達到統計學顯著值。結論：職能治療學系學生在上完人生哲學課程後，心靈安適感平均分數有所提升。未來可以利用更大的樣本量和更多類型的研究工具來探索人生哲學課程對醫學教育的助益。
