| 摘要: | 本研究目的為分析乳癌婦女的需求與資訊來源的相關性，藉此提昇健康資訊傳播的有效性。資料蒐集使用自擬式的半結構問卷，針對台灣的乳癌婦女採用便利抽樣，委由乳癌防治基金會、台灣癌症基金會協助發放問卷。資料分析使用資料探勘中的CART決策樹建立分類預測模型及Apriori關聯規則分析資訊需求與來源的相關性。本研究於2012年1月10日~2012年6月23日共回收有效問卷222份，結果發現年輕的乳癌患者認為網際網路對於瞭解醫療、心理及生活型態/自我照顧層面的需求是有幫助的。另一方面，對於初次診斷為乳癌的患者會認為乳癌病友提供的資訊有幫助，而接受化學治療的患者則是會認為電視提供的資訊最有幫助。乳癌患者認為醫療層面的需求由醫護人員、癌症相關的學會及協會提供是有幫助的，在心理層面則是分成兩部分：有關如何克服性吸引力改變造成的壓力需求方面，會認為有幫助的三大資訊來源為其他醫療專業人員、書籍或醫療期刊、醫護人員；另一方面，有關如何克服家庭分工改變造成的壓力需求，則是會認為家人朋友、乳癌病友、癌症相關的學會及協會提供的資訊有幫助，最後，在生活型態/自我照顧層面的需求上，網際網路、電視、雜誌和報紙提供的資訊對於乳癌患者瞭解日常生活、自我照顧的相關需求是有幫助的。醫療專業團隊可以依照本研究發現之結果提供資訊來源給乳癌患者，做更有效的資源配置，以及更有效的提供健康服務以符合患者的需求，將可達到優質的癌症治療。
Aiming at promoting the effectiveness of health information communication, this study analyzes the relationships between information needs of women with breast cancer and information sources. A semi-structured questionnaire was developed for data collecting. With convenience sampling, The Foundation of Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment and The Formosa Cancer Foundation were invited to assist in distributing questionnaires to women with breast cancer in Taiwan. A CART tree in Data Mining was applied to establish classification models, and the Apriori algorithm was used to analyze the relationships between information needs and sources. A total of 222 effective copies of questionnaires were retrieved during January 10 to June 23, 2012. The findings show that young breast cancer patients regard the Internet is helpful to understand the needs of medical care, psychology, and life style/self-care. On the other hand, patients who are diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time consider the information provided by other breast cancer patients is helpful. Patients receiving chemotherapy regard the TV information as the most useful source. Regarding the needs of medical care, breast cancer patients agree the help from medical personnel and cancer associations is helpful. In terms of psychology, regarding the change of sexual attraction, the information sources of other medical care professionals, books or medical care journals, and medical personnel are regarded useful. Concerning the change of family duty, information from family, friends, other breast cancer patients, and the cancer associations are considered helpful. Finally, in regard to the needs of life style/self-care, information from the Internet, TV, magazines, and newspaper are regarded useful for understanding the needs of daily life and self-care. In conclusions, professional medical care teams could provide breast cancer patients with the information sources discovered in this study to precede more effective resource allocation and health services corresponding to patients’ needs and to achieve quality cancer treatments. |
