教師之健康促進行為探討－－以臺南市國小為例

An Investigation of Health Behaviors of Elementary School Teachers in TAINAN

近年來由於社會型態轉變，教育政策歷經重大變革，教師在生理與心理層面上皆承受了重大的挑戰，相對的身心健康亦深受影響。本研究目的在了解教師對健康促進生活型態與城鄉關係之差異。以問卷為研究工具，研究對象為臺南市現職國小教師，採用立意抽樣法，總計回收有效問卷為421份，有效回收率93.6%。本研究主要發現如下：1.健康責任與運動行為，適當營養，自我實現，社會支持，壓力處理，與睡眠品質呈顯著正相關；2.不同人口背景變項中之性別、年齡、家中子女數，對於健康促進生活型態存在顯著差異。3.健康促進生活形態之間有顯著關聯。提升教師健康責任將可幫助其他培養其他正向之健康行為，建議日後相關單位應多加強國小教師健康促進之宣導。

Due to changes of education policy in Taiwan, teachers face huge challenges both physically and mentally.
