The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of the demonstration health promotion projects on whether knowledge, perceptions, and competencies of health care workers in health centers improved as a result of participating in the health promotion projects. A total of 1,955 community health care workers were recruited for the study. Health care workers from 18 demonstration health centers (n = 728) were assigned to the study group. The remaining 1,227 health care workers from 36 health centers, who have not participated in the demonstration projects, were assigned to the control group. Mailed-out questionnaires were used to measure knowledge and perceptions related to health promotion programs, and competencies in carrying out health promotion programs of health care workers for both groups. The results indicated that knowledge, perception, and competency of health care workers who participated in the demonstration projects were significantly higher than those who had not; but at the same time, those participants of demonstration projects might be under stress due to the extra assignments required by the projects. For effective health promotion programs, there is a need to supplement the staff in the health centers to take charge of health promotion programs.
本研究的目的是衡量示范健康促进项目对健康中心医护人员的知识、认知和能力是否因参与健康促进项目而得到改善的影响。共有1955名社区医护人员被招募参与该研究。来自18个示范健康中心的728名医护人员被分配到研究组。其余来自36个健康中心的1227名未参与示范项目的医护人员被分配到对照组。通过邮寄问卷来衡量两组医护人员与健康促进项目相关的知识和认知，以及开展健康促进项目的能力。结果表明，参与示范项目的医护人员的知识、认知和能力显著高于未参与的人员；但与此同时，示范项目的参与者可能因项目要求的额外任务而承受压力。为了实施有效的健康促进项目，有必要在健康中心补充人员以负责健康促进项目。
