Therefore, workplace health promotion is very important. In alignment with substantial amendment of Occupation Safety Act, Labor Health Protection Rules also had a major amendment in 2014, and “occupational health nurses” therefore ensured its role, function and qualification through this amendment.
The study aims to comprehend the ways of performing occupational health promotion events, contents and job descriptions of occupational health nurses and have further discussions on different business units and approaches and content differences of hosting occupational health promotion to interpret the reason differences exist between different business units. Qualitative Research is used in this study, and data collection introduces semi structured interview with 24 interviewee from 22 business units. The industries cover manufacturing industry, education training service industry, medical service industry, hotel industry, recreational service industry and public business.
The study finds the occupational health nurses hosting occupational health promotion events have execution differences as the following: I. The promotion can be performed during working hours on occupations featuring non-instant service, while the promotion can only be done after working hours if the occupations are instant and irreplaceable. II. The richness of event contents varies, and the content can be enriched with supervisors’ supports. III. Vagueness and overlapping exist between scope of duty and function division. Moreover, occupational health nurses often encounter problems such as lack of clarity about what their duties cover, the roles they play, and lack of focus on their functions. Differences between business units are mainly originated from arrangements of working time, attitude of supervisors, functions the occupational health nurses are affiliated to and duty arrangements.
