[[alternative]]A Study on the Achievement of Professional Core Competence Education and Training among Occupational Hygiene Administrators through Outcome Evaluation

[[abstract]]本研究旨在探討職業衛生管理人員專業核心能力教育訓練之成效評價。研究對象為參與某學會職場健康管理師教育訓練的學員，研究採兩階段步驟，第一階段實施「職業衛生管理人員對其角色功能認知及教育訓練需求調查問卷」現況評估。第二階段評價教育訓練介入學員課程滿意度、筆試、甄審口試呈現專業核心能力之成效。研究收集資料以SPSS 13.0 for Window統計軟體進行統計分析。本研究結果顯示如下：一、職業衛生管理人員視「教育」「諮詢」、「健康監控」、「管理」、「環境監控」為理想實際重要角色。「衛生教育及健康促進」、「勞工健康的督導」、「告知勞工健康危害」、「勞工一般特殊的健康檢查」、「意外傷害和疾病的緊急處理」為理想實際重要功能。在職教育醫療人員著重安全衛生及心理課程需求，非醫療人員傾向疾病預防及健康促進，「研究」及「行政管理」課程需求不高是未來強調教育重點。二、評價滿意度高教育訓練含「職場健康議題之優先順序」「設計團體健康促進專案」「職業衛生服務業務」「健康風險評估與管理」。筆試平均分數為72.89分，及格率占87.5%，醫療優於非醫療人員筆試得分。口試及格率占94%，沒通過口試學員甄審師資具一致性專業能力區分效度。結論：職業衛生管理人員專業核心能力教育訓練之成效評價，發現理想及實際角色功能隨時代趨勢「健康促進」「行政管理」重要性較傳統「緊急救護」提高，「行政管理」「研究」議題沒有明顯呈現對在職教育需求，學員偏重選擇非本身專業課程。專業核心能力成效評價，實施職場健康管理師課程介入，大部份學員認同及滿意，筆試成績屬中上，甄審口試測驗9成學員完成及通過，甄審口試師資之間評分及自評個人健康促進及職場健康管理專業核心能力，能顯示區分效度之結果。本研究甄審過程經驗與示例，提供後續職業衛生學(協)會，辦理職業衛生管理人員在職教育訓練或甄審專業核心能力評量的參考。[[abstract]]This research was aimed to achievement of professional core competence education and training among occupational hygiene administrators through outcome evaluation. Experimental subjects were the trainees who joined an education and training seminar for health administrators hosted by a profession association. This research was operated with 2 steps. The 1st step was surveyed with the current status evaluation titled “The Questionnaire for on Occupational Hygiene Administrators Role Function with Recognition and Demands to Education & Training Activities”. The 2nd step was evaluated on the professional core competence for education & training involvement to trainees’ satisfaction, written form exams and oral exams effect shown. Research data were analyzed by Windows-based SPSS 13.0 for Window with results shown as below: 1. Occupational hygiene administrators posed the ideas as below. The education, consultancy, health monitor, administration and environment monitor were viewed as the ideally actual important roles. Hygiene education and health enhancement, supervision over labor health, the notification for labors' health damage menace, labors’ general and special health inspection and emergent treatment for accidental injury and disease were viewed as the ideally important functions. On-service educational health care operators emphasized the demand to safety hygiene and psychology courses. Non-health care operators inclined to emphasize disease prevention and health enhancement. They showed little desire to Research and Administration courses. The said two parts should be the upcoming points for education emphasis. 2. The education & training activities with high evaluation scores included “the priority of occupational health issues”, “the design for group health enhancement projects” and “the evaluation and management over health risk”. The qualified exam takers in this written form exam were rated at 87.5% with average score of 72.89. The qualified oral exam takers were rated at 94%. Those who failed in oral exams showed consistent discriminate validity in professional competence. Conclusion: By using the outcome evaluation to explore the professional core competence among occupational hygiene administrator, a fact was found that the function of ideal and actual roles showed the change with era trend evolving. The importance of health enhancement and administration was valued more important than emergency rescue in traditional ideas. The issues on administration and researches showed no obvious demand to on-service education. Trainees preferred to select non-professional courses. Most trainees showed identity and satisfaction to the achievement evaluation on professional core competence and the implementation with involvement to occupational health administrator courses. The scores in written form exams revealed excellent achievement than fair levels. 9 trainees finished and passed the oral exams. The results on exam hosting instructors’ scoring, self-scoring for personal health enhancement items, together with the items for occupational health, could be used to improve the professional competence for occupational hygiene administrator in future.
