摘要

本研究旨在探討安養機構老人執行身體活動情形及其相關因素。以立意取樣，自台中縣市四所公、私立經政府立案之安養機構，共取得110位符合收案條件之老人。採結構性問卷收集資料，研究資料以SPSS Window12.0中文套裝軟體進行分析。研究結果顯示，目前有規律身體活動者佔50.9%。在身體活動量方面，能量消耗為32.4大卡／每公斤／每日（標準差1.77），消耗總能量為1907.74大卡／每日（標準差251.07）。老人身體活動量，會因其進住機構前有否規律身體活動及性別之不同，而有顯著差異。此外，身體活動與自覺健康狀況、日常生活活動功能呈顯著正相關，與年齡及症狀干擾數呈顯著負相關。運用逐步複迴歸法分析身體活動的最佳預測因子，結果顯示，老人的「自覺健康狀況」、「進入機構前是否有規律身體活動習慣」和「日常生活活動功能」可以預測身體活動，共解釋25.3%的變異量。本研究結果可供機構照護人員，於規劃促進老人身體活動之相關措施時的參考，以提供有效照護。

The purposes of this study were to explore physical activity behaviors and related factors among older adults living in care institutions. Purposive sampling was used to collect data from 110 older adults living in four public or private care institutions located in the Taichung metropolitan area. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed by SPSS/Windows 12.0 statistical software. The results showed that 50.9% of the older adults engaged in regular physical activity. The average energy expenditure was 32.4 kcal/kg/day (SD= 1.77), and the average total daily energy expenditure was 1907.74 kcal/day (SD= 251.07). Previous physical activity habits and gender had significant impacts on physical activity. Physical activity was positively correlated with perceived health status and functions of activities of daily living. Physical activity was negatively correlated with age and the incidence of symptom interference. Stepwise multiple regression showed that perceived health status, previous physical activity habits and functions of activities of daily living together explained 25.3% of the variance of regular physical activity. The results of this study can provide institutional personnel with information to help with developing care plans to promote elderly residents' participation in regular physical activity.
