Abstract

本研究旨在探討親師對於促進學童健康體位的觀點，瞭解親師的看法、實施之策略、遭遇之困境以及對於運用新媒體做為傳遞管道之可行性。以立意取樣選取新北市國民小學體位不良學童之家長8位、教師10位、學校護理師2位作為研究對象進行訪談，運用質性研究方法進行資料分析，研究結果如下： 一、看法：親師皆認為體位不良對健康會有影響，然學童正值發育期，親師表示不易做飲食的控制。親師也皆認為照顧學童體位家長應擔負比較大的責任。 二、策略：親師皆著重營造健康飲食、運動支持性環境。學校人員表示有辦理教師增能研習、傳遞健康資訊給家長，及透過課程教學與邀請專業師資授課增進學童健康體位知能。家長準備健康食材，注意飲食均衡，並督促學童多從事戶外活動。 三、困境：親師皆表示自身健康體位專業知識不足，學校人員也表示缺乏學校人力及資源的協助、家長參與度低，致使推動不易。家長表示忙於工作常外食，無法照顧到學童的飲食，另與家中長輩對學童健康體位觀念不一致，致使管教困難。 四、新媒體：目前親師以電話及聯絡簿為主要聯繫管道，親師表示若要使用新媒體作為傳遞平台可以全校性官方帳號方式傳遞。

The purpose of this study was to explore parents’ and teachers’ points of view on promoting healthy weight in school children, and understand their perspectives, implementation strategies, difficulties faced, and the feasibility of using new media as a communication channel. A qualitative research approach was used, while 20 research participants (8 parents, 10 teachers, and 2 schoolnurses) were selected using the purposive sampling method from two public primary schools in Xinpei City. The main results of this study were as follows. 1. Views: Parents and teachers believed that overweight affected children’s health, while uncontrolled diet was the main reason for poor weight management in children, especially during the critical period of physical development. On the aspect of caring children’s healthy weight, school staff and parents reported that parents should bear more responsibility than teachers do. 2. Strategies: Both school staff and parents focused on creating a healthy diet and supportive sports environment. School staff reported that schools implementd teacher training program and provided health information for parents to enhance their healthy weighty knowledge. Through teaching courses and cooperating with community medical institutions, health professionals were invited to give lectures to increase parents’ and children’s nutritional knowledge and practice. Parents provided the proper nutrition and encouraged their child to participate outdoor activities. 3. Difficulties: The difficulties school staff and parents faced included inadequate knowledge of healthy weight, lack of support by school authorities, and low involvement of parents. Parents were often too busy at work and ate out; thus, they were unable to take care of children’s diet. In addition, there was a gap in the concept of healthy weight between parents and the elder generation (caregivers) at home, while lack of consensus made parental mediation more difficult. 4. The feasibility of using new media: Parents and teachers used telephones and communication notebooks as main channels with new media being a supplementary communication tool, while they thought current communication channels were sufficient. By using a school-wide official account to post health information relevant to children would be a more effective way.
