| Popis: | 105 The research subjects of this study are the sub-divisions of a lifestyle group of media professionals in the Taipei area that cover medical news and non-medical news. Due to the specific nature of their jobs, a survey is used to understand their self-assessed health status (SAHS), healthy life-style status and the effects of the interaction of these two factors. All 207 members registered under the Medical Journalists Association and the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) are the survey targets of this study. Upon given authorization and consent, this study applied a self-assessed health survey, SF12V2 Chinese Edition, issued by OPTUM, a U. S. company, and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP), as proposed by Professor M. Y. Chen. The questionnaire survey implemented in this study was issued in printed-paper format and Google From, where a total of 207 copies were issued, 144 copies were collected, and 140 copies were valid. The valid return rate is 69.56%. The findings of this research are summarized as follows: 一、 The SAHS of the research subjects was assessed by analyzing their "current health status, the extent of health affecting work, the extent of emotion affecting work, mental or emotional stability, the extent of physical and mental health affecting social activities, the extent of physical pains affecting daily living and other variables", where higher scores signify better health, and less impact on work and activities by health factor. The influences of, "the extent of health affecting activities", and "the extent of physical pains affecting daily living", are not significant. 二、 The healthy lifestyle of the research subjects was assessed by analyzing their "nutritional behavior, healthy responsibility behavior, self-realization behavior, social support behavior, work-out behavior, and stress handling behavior"; where "self-realization behavior" has the highest average score, and "work-out behavior" scores the lowest. 三、 In terms of the predictors of a healthy lifestyle, the survey statistics show that the "specific responsibility group" reaches statistical significance; while, journalists of the "medical news" group have healthier lifestyles. According to the findings, this study recommends that government authorities should be more active in introducing policies relevant to professionals working in this specific field, and focus on improving and enhancing health aspects of the workplace. With healthier lifestyles, media professionals are more likely to provide relevant reports with greater precision, while broadcasting important health information and new knowledge to the public. |
