台中市國民小學教師體重控制知識、態度、行為之研究

本研究旨在探討台中市國民小學教師體重控制知識、態度、行為，以問卷方式進行調查，經系統抽樣法抽取樣本，施測後得有效樣本405人，回收率為90.1 %。利用SPSS for windows 12.0套裝軟體進行分析，得到重要結果如下：

一、結果顯示無論研究對象的實際體型屬過輕、健康或過重肥胖，普遍期望可減輕體重。體重控制不應以自己外表、體重或自覺的體型來決定減重與否，所以加強宣導體重控制的真正意涵是校園中值得宣導的一項課題。

二、在體重控制知識方面，有97.3%的研究對象對「333運動」的意義，有普遍的認識。研究對象在體重控制態度方面，普遍傾向正向，可是在「不因運動地點的遠近，都會去運動」，這項則較不理想。而體重控制行為方面，在「每日飲食及運動的紀錄」這項則較不易實施。

整體而言，研究對象在體重控制的知識、態度、行為表現尚稱理想，但體重控制相關熱量及營養知識有待增進與提昇，且必須提高運動次數及強度比例，所謂知易行難，台中市國小教師了解運動的重要，但卻無法徹底實行，要成為學生學習之典範，加強「運動」之身教，乃為體重控制重要之課題。

The purpose of this study is to understand the weight control knowledge, attitude and behaviors of teachers in elementary schools in Taichung City. All data were collected by questionnaire survey and analyzed by SPSS for windows 12.0. The number of the valid questionnaire is 405, and the recovering rate is 90.1%. The main findings are follows:

1.Most teachers tend to lose weight no matter what their body types are excessively thin, healthy, overweight or obese. It reveals that slender figure is a fashion. It’s a wrong idea to lose weight only because people want to look slender or to be more standard with body type. It’s important to promote the real meaning of weight control on campus.

2.Regarding weight control knowledge, 97.3% of the teachers understood the meaning of “333 Exercise program”. Generally speaking, there was a positive attitude towards weight control with the exception of the item, “When the exercise location is distant, I won’t go.” In addition, in terms of weight control behavior, it was found that daily food intake for weight control and exercise diary were not easily to be implemented by the teachers.

According to the findings, the weight control knowledge, attitude and behaviors of teachers in elementary schools in Taichung City are acceptable. Teachers should improve their knowledge of calorie and nutrition, and do more exercises. To know is easier than to do. To be a model of weight control, teachers should learn more and do more.
