Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 健康促進與衛生教育學系 === 101 === This study aims to develop a set of effective e-health course and to further investigate its intervention effect. The experiments were designed based on Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design, and nurses in two regional hospitals in Chia-yi and Hsin-chu was recruited. Experimental group received the course designed based on adult learning theory, internet teaching tactics and self-efficacy through e-health intervention. E-health intervention provided peer support communities, tailored education and professionally facilitated education and support program. Control group received “Healthy Taiwan on the Move” brochure. The study tools included “Health promotion lifestyle profile” and “Sort Form-36”. After comparing data measured before and after intervention, 105 persons gave effective results excluding invalid questionnaires (50 persons in experimental group and 55 in control). The data was analyzed with chi-square test, independent sample t-test, paired t-test, one-way ANOVA analysis, ANCOVA analysis, and Johnson-Neyman method. Significant results were as followed:
1. After e-health intervention, the total score from “health promotion lifestyle profile” , “exercise behavior”, “health responsibility”, “SF-36”, “physiological health”, of experimental group measured after intervention was significantly higher than before.
2. After e-health intervention, the “body mass index” of experimental group measured after intervention was significantly lower than before.
3. After e-health intervention, the total score from “SF-36” in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group.
4. When “physiological health” score measured before was lower than 306.81, the score measured after in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group, and the lower the score measured before was, the greater efficacy achieved.
It is important to pay attention to the lifestyles of nurses. Health education through internet is the tendency in future. E-health provides a more convenient and accessible way for the learners to discuss with each other and professionals, which is more effective than health education with brochure. We suggest to develop more e-health course, based on the adult learning theory.
