電腦技能訓練在精神障礙者之應用

症狀穩定之精神障礙者（以下簡稱精障者）經學習與電腦相關之技能後，應可擴展其就業之機會。本文為安排精障者參加電腦課程，並評估其參加電腦課程之成效，及追蹤個案日後之就業情形。本篇報吿對象為參加台北市康復之友協會電腦培訓課程的24位精障者，分別接受為期24次，每次3 小時之電腦技能訓練課程。每位個案於第一次及最後一次上課時都完成中英文輸入與注意力之評估，以了解學員參與電腦技能訓練課程之成效。每次上課時，輔導員均觀察並記錄個案之課堂中行為表現。研究結果顯示，24位個案在參與訓練之後，66%（N=16）的個案在注意力的表現上有顯著的提昇，79.17%（N=19）的個案在中英打字的速度與正確率上皆有顯著的增加。個案之上課行為有顯著改善的前三項依序為：理解力、挫折忍受度與持續力。追蹤24位完成電腦技能訓練課程之個案發現，有10位個案就業，且以從事與電腦相關的工作為主。因此，規劃並安排症狀穩定之精障者參加電腦學習課程，除可提升電腦相關之技能外，更可增加就業機會，對早日重回社會助益大。

The purposes of this report were to assess the effects of the application of computer skills training on clients with psychiatric disabilities and to follow up their employment status. The 24 participants from Taipei Mental Rehabilitation Association received 24 sessions of the computer skill training courses and each session last for three hours. Participants completed the computer key-in test and attention test at the beginning and the end of the computer skills training courses. The researcher assessed the in class behaviors of the participant in every session using observation forms. The results of this study showed 66.67% (N = 16) of the participants improved in their attention ability and 79.17% (N = 19) increased their performance on key-in skills. The three significant aspects of improvement were on comprehension, frustration tolerance, and endurance. Ten participants were employed and most of their jobs related to computer skills. Therefore, the computer skill training not only increases their computer skills but also expands their job opportunities.
