臺中市中醫醫院護理工作相關人員對中醫護理的知識與態度之研究

Study on the Knowledge and Attitude for Chinese Medicine among Nurses in Taichung City

近年來國人對中國傳統醫學有日益需求的趨勢，中醫醫院與診所不斷設立增加，然而國內卻一直缺乏中醫護理人才的養成教育，故目前在中醫院、所內護理工作人員的素質如何？值得醫療衛生機關所關切的。因此本研究的目的在於調查目前在中醫醫院內從事中醫護理工作者對中醫護理的認知與態度；並更進一步尋找影響其對中醫護理認知及態度的相關因素。研究對象係以所有台中市中醫醫院中從事護理工作者共82名。利用結構式問卷，且經過信度及效度測試後，以集體訪視方式收集問卷資料。所得結果顯示：1.研究對象大部份為非護理學校畢業佔76.5%，具有護理執照者僅佔1/5。2.受試者在中醫護理的知識與態度皆會隨年齡、教育程度的提升而增加，並且曾接受正規護理教育及中醫課程訓練研習會者，其對中醫護理的知識與態度亦得分較高。3.用多變項迴歸分析得知影響受試者對中醫的知識與態度的因素，為受試者的年齡及是否為護理學校畢業較有相關。因此建議：政府有關單位儘快規劃中醫護理養成教育，以提升從事中醫護理工作人員對中醫的認識並輔助中醫師診斷與治療，而提昇未來中醫醫療服務的品質。
