摘要: | 鑒於國內健康新聞,多為廣泛報導健康議題,而未重視慢性疾病所衍生相關議題,也就是較少專以慢性疾病新聞為主的報導,然而,高齡化人口增加、慢性疾病所耗損社會成本逐年攀升,令人不得不重視。另外,臺灣博碩士論文亦少有以慢性疾病為主要的新聞議題研究,因此,本研究特別以「慢性疾病的新聞報導內容研究」做為研究主題。研究的目的主要為:探討臺灣媒體如何報導慢性疾病,包含慢性疾病在新聞報導的報導量、新聞主題、消息來源、內容呈現方式等。
由於Yahoo奇摩新聞為國內所有商業入口網站新聞頻道版內專為「慢性疾病」建立單元,故本研究選擇Yahoo奇摩新聞為其研究對象。另外,為深入探究慢性疾病新聞報導,本研究採內容分析法做為資料收集方法,其方式為透過商業入口網站新聞頻道─Yahoo奇摩新聞(tw.news.yahoo.com),進一步尋找「健康」子網頁,並從該網頁,逐一搜尋各媒體報導「健康」的相關議題,且本研究從「健康」版的「慢性疾病」單元或從搜尋引擎,鍵入「慢性疾病」關鍵字,尋找適當的新聞報導內容做為分析樣本。經過關鍵字搜尋及篩選後,選擇自2010年四月一日至2010年九月三十日共二百二十二則新聞報導內容做為研究對象。
經研究分析後,最後得到的結論:Yahoo奇摩新聞網中有關慢性疾病新聞報導之媒體來源主要為報紙及網路;慢性疾病種類取向分布多為「其他慢性疾病」,其他的慢性疾病涵蓋了精神疾病、神經系統疾病、內分泌及代謝疾病、骨骼肌肉系統及結締組織之疾病等;慢性疾病新聞報導最常被關注的三大主題:「慢性疾病之衛教及保健」、「慢性疾病之症狀及特徵」,以及「慢性疾病之治療」;慢性疾病新聞報導之主題呈現語氣向度傾向於「負向語氣」;慢性疾病新聞報導之消息來源,以「醫師」消息來源最多。
最後,建議未來的研究者能延續本研究做相關性研究,並將其他慢性疾病細分化及深入報導;在媒體方面,可多運用電視媒體報導慢性疾病相關議題,亦更加關注國人十大死因之心臟病相關議題報導;慢性疾病法令及政策可多加強報導,以提醒民眾重視慢性疾病相關的宣導及政策;消息來源採納各方消息,如專家學者、社會團體、醫院診所、醫院內其他醫事人員,甚至是民眾的意見來源;內容呈現方式採多樣化報導形式,如解釋性新聞、特寫、專欄、解答信箱、讀者投書或專家資訊等多樣樣貌呈現,更可廣泛接觸不同類型的閱聽人,以激發不同的觀點及思維。
