肢體障礙者參與休閒運動取向之研究

中文摘要

目的：本篇研究之目的為調查台灣肢體障礙者參與休閒運動之趨勢，並瞭解影響肢體障礙者參與休閒運動之社會因素。方法：以台中縣肢體障礙福利協進會之541名會員做為樣本進行問卷調查，障礙類別包括：截肢、肢體發育不全、小兒麻痺、腦性麻痺、脊髓損傷及其他肢障。問卷的內容包括個人資料、健康及體能資料、身心障礙資料及休閒參與等四個部分，資料收集後以統計方法加以分析，然後分別以性別、工作狀況、婚姻及障礙類別分別來探討在休閒運動參與時之時間、頻率、原因、首次參與時所遭遇之障礙及訊息來源等之關係。結果：調查發現有27%肢體障礙者有參與休閒運動，在男、女性別參與的比例約為2.5:1；在參與的原因中，以健康因素佔最大；在首次參與休閒運動的障礙中，以經費為最大障礙；在訊息來源的獲得方面，以教練為最多；而在工作狀況及障礙類別上仍有相當大的差異，而婚姻方面則差異性較小。結論：肢體障礙者因身體的殘缺，更應參與休閒運動，但在社會化的過程當中，不同的社會因子會導致不同的社會化結果，因此決策者不但要鼓勵肢體障礙者參與休閒運動，而且要有系統地小心加以區隔，以達到推廣之效。
