Taipei County Hospital, Taipei County, Taiwan
Objective This study is based on PRECEDE
model using predisposing factors, enabling
factors and reinforcing factors to explore
medical care personnels cognition, attitude,
environment support, social support and their
influences toward liver health and proposes
suggestions related to health promotion plan
according to survey results.

• Discussion
• Generally speaking, the employees of the
  Hospital got higher scores on
• liver health knowledge and attitude but got lower
  scores on environment
• support and social support. Especially, those who
  are under 30 have much
• lower level of environment support and social
  support than those who are
• over 30. Presuming the causes, they must because
  the younger employees
• with less seniority and non-adequation of
  hospital rotary shifts (Lo Ching-
• whei, et. at, 2006), and be unfamiliar with
  hospitals organization and usable
• resources so that their got lower supports. Liu
  Jieh-hsin (2007) has a study to
• find that colleagues support has prediction
  about healthy behavior so that we
• should reinforce the social support among
  colleagues.
• Toward the results I propose the following
  suggestions
• Upgrading the exercise trend while the
  high-ranking officials to execute it
• with encouragements.
• 2. Setting exclusive personnel to trace the
  Hospitals employees with abnormal result of
  liver function inspection and timely remind them
  to do the inspection and trace.
• 3. Toward the employees who need to do rotary
  shift, preparing nutritional
• meals and providing rotary shift health
  lessons.
• 4. Increasing the colleagues of administrative
  offices with liver health
• knowledge.

Methods This study uses self-filling
questionnaire survey to collect data with the
employees of Taipei County Hospital as the matrix
adopting stratified sampling by the percentages
of administrative personnel and medical personnel
(doctors, nurses, medical technicians) with 250
samples and then we collected 201 copies of
effective questionnaire with return rate as

analyzed by SPSS12.0 using t test to analyze the
subjects social demography variables and if
various scales reach salient significance as well
as use multi-regression to analyze the
influencing factors among the scales.
