臺灣青少年藥物/毒品濫用素養量表發展與現況初探──以高屏區學生為例

A preliminary study on the development of the drug/substance abuse literacy scale for Taiwanese adolescents and current status --Taking students from Kaohsiung and Pingtung as an example

本文目的在發展與效化臺灣青少年藥物/毒品濫用素養量表，並初步比較不同性別及居住地青少年對於藥物/毒品濫用認知、態度及行為的差異情形。本研究在預試階段以便利取樣收集收集高屏地區共計122位青少年（男61人，女61人），採用探索性因素分析萃取出：「自我覺察」、「批判性思考」及「做決定」等三個分向度，共計解釋63.51%變異量，整體內部一致性信度為.906。接續以獨立樣本t檢驗初步探究青少年的藥物/毒品濫用素養現況與差異情形，結果顯示青少女的藥物/毒品濫用素養顯著高於青少男，而居住地區對於藥物/毒品濫用素養無顯著差異；藥物/毒品濫用訊息來源最多為從老師處獲得。本研究建議未來可以擴大使用本問卷於國中、高中及高職教學現場，將有助於教育行政機構了解青少年對於藥物/毒品濫用的認知、能力與態度，以提升教師設計適宜的藥物/毒品濫用素養內容和教學策略。本研究結果可作為衛生單位、教育機構擬訂配套方案及未來相關研究之參考。

The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate a drug/substance abuse literacy scale for Taiwanese adolescents and to make a preliminary comparison of differences in drug/substance abuse cognition, attitudes, and behaviors among adolescents of different genders and places of residence. In the pilot phase, this study collected data from a total of 122 adolescents (61 males and 61 females) in the Kaohsiung and Pingtung areas using convenience sampling. Exploratory factor analysis was used to extract three dimensions:“self-awareness”,“critical thinking”and“decision-making”, which explained a total of 63.51% of the variance, and the overall internal consistency reliability was .906. An independent sample t-test was then used to preliminarily explore the current status and differences in drug/substance abuse literacy among adolescents. The results showed that drug/ substance abuse literacy among adolescent girls was significantly higher than that among adolescent boys, while there was no significant difference in drug/substance abuse literacy by region of residence; the most common source of information on drug/substance abuse was obtained from teachers. This study suggests that the use of this questionnaire can be expanded to junior high schools, high schools, and vocational colleges in the future. This will help educational administration agencies understand adolescents’cognition, ability, and attitude toward drug/substance abuse, so as to enhance teachers’ability to design appropriate drug/substance abuse literacy content and teaching strategies. The results of this study can serve as a reference for health units and educational institutions to formulate supporting plans and future related research.
