SARS 期間感控護理人員之焦慮、特定困擾及不確定感對工作壓力之影響
中文摘要
嚴重急性呼吸道症候群（ Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ； SARS ）是二十一世紀最嚴重且已經造成全球傳播的 新興傳染病。然而目前關於 SARS 事件所造成心理衝擊，其研究大多數是以臨床的醫事人員為主，針對 SARS 期間 感控護理人員的相關研究卻鮮少見過。本研究之目的，在探討 SARS 期間感控護理人員之焦慮、 SARS 特定困擾及 不確定感對工作壓力之影響。研究方法係採橫斷式調查研究法，為一描述相關性研究設計（ descriptive correlation de sign ），以結構式問卷為研究工具進行收集資料，並以台灣地區設有感染控制委員會或感控小組之感控護理人員為 對象，進行其焦慮、特定困擾及不確定感對工作壓力之影響的調查。本研究結果顯示：
1. 感控護理人員在 SARS 期間有高比例處於高焦慮狀態，其焦慮程度會因個人基本屬性（宗教信仰虔誠度、工作年
資、工作性質、感控師執照、處理過 SARS 事件經驗、收治過 SARS 病人及成立跨單位 SARS 工作小組或應變中 心）不同而有顯著差異。
2. 感控護理人員在 SARS 期間普遍面臨中或高程度之特定困擾，其 SARS 特定困擾程度會因個人基本屬性（年齡及
婚姻）不同而有顯著差異。
3. 感控護理人員在 SARS 期間面臨中等程度的不確定感，其不確定感程度不會因不同個人基本屬性有顯著差異。
4. 感控護理人員在 SARS 期間其工作壓力處於中低程度，其工作壓力程度會因不同個人基本屬性（工作性質）有顯
著差異。感控護理人員 SARS 期間自覺最主要的工作壓力是人力不足，佔 21.74% ，其他工作壓力源依次為缺乏行政 長官之支持（ 15.65% ），不確定感（ 13.91% ），專業知識、經驗不足（ 10.43% ），衛生政令不一致（ 6.96% ）
。
5. SARS 期間感控護理人員的工作壓力與焦慮、 SARS 特定困擾有顯著相關，顯示焦慮愈高，工作壓力也相對增加
，同樣的 SARS 特定困擾愈高，工作壓力也相對增加。
根據本研究提出下列建議：一、加強行政長官對感控護理人員的心理感受之察覺，並主動提供相關訊息、情緒支持
及實質上鼓勵，讓感控人員能在身心安適狀態下從事感控業務。二、衛政單位能具體提供一致性的新興傳染病之防 疫相關資訊，以降低焦慮、特定困擾及不確定感與工作壓力。三、增設員工心理諮商服務，適當疏導感控護理人員 之心理負擔。四、加強舉辦感控護理人員減壓的相關教育課程。
