某國小學生正確用藥教育介入成效之探討

Abstract

本計畫旨在探討正確用藥教育介入對研究對象「正確用藥知識」、「正確用藥態度」、「正確用藥自我效能」、「正確用藥行為」之影響。研究採準實驗之「實驗組、對照組前後測」設計，以台中某所國小五年級6個班級的學生為研究對象共137人，實驗組65人，對照組72人，實驗組接受八節課程正確用藥課程，對照組則接受常規的健康教育課程。 運用廣義估計方程式（Generalized Estimating Equation, GEE）模式進行分析，研究結果發現經正確用藥教育介入後，能顯著提升學生正確用藥知識、態度、自我效能、行為；學生對課程的滿意度與喜好度達到九成以上。家長對於親子學習單親子共學活動，大多持正向肯定的回饋。 根據研究結果，學校推動正確用藥教育介入的成效佳，建議國內學校積極推動正確用藥教育，以增能師生正確用藥知能與行為，並透過學校親師座談會，宣導正確用藥相關知識與態度，提升家長正確用藥行為。

Abstract

This study examined the effect of a correct medication usage education intervention on correct medication usage knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and behavior among the youth. This study was a quasi-experimental design. In 2015, the participants included 137 students in the 5th grade in Taichung City. There were 65 students in the experimental group and 72 students in the control group. The experimental group participated in eight 40-min correct medication usage intervention sessions, while the control group received their usual classes. The GEE (Generalized Estimating Equation) method was used to test the effect. The results indicated that the correct medication usage education intervention significantly increased correct medication usage knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and behavior. More than 90% of participant students reported satisfaction with the education intervention, while most parents had positive comments on the education intervention. In conclusion, the implementation of correct medication usage education program showed positive effects. It is suggested to implement correct medication education program to enhance teachers’ and students’ medication literacy and behaviors. Schools could also provide parental education activities to promote safe medication usage.
