| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 健康促進與衛生教育學系在職進修碩士班 === 97 === This research aims to investigate the correlation between military training instructors’ work pressure and behaviors of smoking and drinking alcohol. The research targets are based on military training instructors from 2008’s “Taipei County Office of Liaison, Ministry of Education”. Investigation tools involved self-made questionnaires, and after expert validity and pretest and reliability tests, formal questionnaire samples of 217 are collected with an effective retrieval rate of 80.4%. The data collected are statistically analyzed by frequency distribution, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, chi-square tests, Pearson product-moment correlation and Point-Biserial Correlation using SPSS 12.0 software, and the results are classified as follows:
1.41.9% of research subjects (numbering 91) have smoked before (having smoked only 1 cigarette counts), an average of 3.67 cigarettes per day. 90.3% of research subjects (numbering 196) have drunk before, and 40.6% of them (numbering 88) drink occasionally, averaging once or twice per month.
2.In decreasing order of work pressure of the instructors interviewed, “workload” ranked the highest, followed by “students behavior management” and lastly “teaching and professional knowledge”.
3.Interviewed instructors display significant difference in background factors such as gender, service school type and work pressure with respect to work pressure; female instructors experience higher work pressure than their male counterparts, public school instructors face more pressure than those in private schools.
4.Interviewed instructors display significant difference in background factors such as gender, unit type and service school type with respect to motivation in drinking. Military Police (MP) have higher drinking tendency compared to the Army.
5.There is a positive correlation between drinking motivation and work pressure; instructors with higher work pressure tend to score higher in their drinking motivation questionnaires. In addition, smoking experience display positive correlation with work pressure as those with higher work pressure smoke more.
6.Interviewed instructors display significant difference in background factors such as gender and rank with respect to smoking chi-square test results. Results show that men have higher smoking experience compared to women, colonel level higher than company level. Interviewed instructors display significant difference only in gender with respect to drinking chi-square test results, showing that male instructors have higher drinking experience than female instructors.
According to the findings of this research, gender and difference between public and private school factors of military training instructors can be incorporated into the overall health scheme planning of senior high and vocational schools in the future, thereby reducing possible work pressure related smoking and drinking behaviors.
