This study designs a questionnaire to detect the members’ stress sources and their relief methods, and then develops a feasible health promotion program and its facilitation strategies on these grounds. A focus group discussion is conducted under three topics of analytic results of questionnaire, corresponding health promotion program and its facilitation strategies. This discussion provides not only assistance for enhancing the understanding accuracy of questionnaire, but also strengthening the validity of health promotion program and the feasibility of its facilitation strategies. Through the data analysis, this study has discovered the stress perception and stress relief method of the faculty members as below: 1. In the whole perceived job stress, it falls into middle level. “Role Pressure” in all its aspects is the deepest stress perception, and “Solving the Problem” is mostly used for responding all of the stresses. 2. On the perception of job stress, there is obvious difference between faculty members from different background, but no obvious difference except military instructor on the stress relief method. 3. On the whole, the ones at associate professor level and the ones aged between 51-60 years old who feel their health is poor is the group assuming the greater perceived stress. Other aspects of stress perception are that: 1) Associate professor level, the group assuming the deepest perceived job load, is obviously greater than assistant professor, lecturer and military instructor. 2) In stress perception of student discipline, faculty members aged between 36-40 years old are obviously greater than those between 41-45 years old. 3) In the pressure of interpersonal relationship, male faculty members areobviously greater than female ones. 4) In the pressure of interpersonal relationship, engineering-based faculty members are obviously greater than management based faculty members. 5) Engineering- and humanity-based faculty members assuming organizational stress are obviously greater than management-based faculty members. 6) Faculty members who feel their health are poor assume greater stress no matter in professional growth, organization factor, or role pressure. 7) Both associate professor level and assistant professor level assume middle or high stress in professional growth. 8) Faculty members serving in administrative work concurrently assume also middle or high stress in administrative work. The health promotion program for faculty members under case study puts emphasis on the philosophy of prevention better than on cure. In prevention level one, faculty members are required to prepare themselves well in life management, strengthening physical fitness, assimilating balanced nutrients, and taking adequate rest. In addition, they are recommended to pay their individual attention to prevention level two, undergoing annual health examination and preparing themselves well in health management. The school is recommended to assist in formulating the faculty stress management project, and also help faculty members to relieve their job stress supported by its effective administrative system.
