背景:身體活動具有促進身心健康的益處,但國內有關臨床護理人員身體活動量與生活品質的研究,仍不多見。目的:本研究旨在探討臨床護理人員身體活動和生活品質的現況、相關性、個人背景因素與兩者的關係,以及生活品質的影響因素。方法:採描述相關性研究設計,以臺北市某五家區域教學醫院的380名女性護理人員為研究對象。研究工具包括臺灣身體活動研究量表、臺灣簡明版世界衛生組織生活品質問卷表。結果:研究對象的總身體活動量平均為2,321.6±610.9 Kcal/day;身體活動的分類中,以工作身體活動量最多、休閒運動量最少。生活品質得分以生理健康範疇最高、心理範疇最低。費力身體活動量與社會關係範疇呈正相關;睡眠活動能量、家務身體活動量、休閒運動量與整體生活品質和次面向有相關。不同婚姻狀況、有無子女、不同輪班狀況在總身體活動量有顯著差異;身體質量指數、子女數與總身體活動量呈正相關。不同職稱在整體生活品質、社會關係、環境範疇有顯著差異。睡眠活動能量、家務身體活動量、休閒運動量及職稱,可解釋整體生活品質5.6%的變異量。結論:身體活動與生活品質具有相關性,研究結果可提供改善護理人員身體活動及生活品質策略的參考。
Background: Physical activity has the benefit of promoting physical and mental health. There are only a few studies on relationship between physical activity and quality of life among nurses in Taiwan. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the current status, correlation between physical activity and quality of life, the relationship between personal background factors and the two, and related factors of quality of life among nurses. Methods: A descriptive correlational design with a purpose sample from five Taipei City hospitals was used. In total there were 380 female participants and all the participants returned the questionnaires. The questionnaires included Taiwan Study of Physical Activity and World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-Taiwan brief version (WHOQOL-BREF). Results: The mean physical activity for all participants was 2321.6 ± 610.9 Kcal/day. With regard to the classification of physical activity, physical activity associated with work accounted for the highest proportion while leisure time physical activity accounted for the lowest proportion. For the four domains of WHOQOL-BREF, there was highest score for physical health domains and there was lowest score for psychological domain. There was a positive correlation between vigorous-level physical activity and social relationship domains. The amounts of physical activity in sleep, housework and leisure-exercise were related to the quality of life and subscale. Status of marriage, number of siblings, and shift work significantly influenced physical activity. Different titles significantly influenced quality of life, social relationship and environmental domains. There was a positive correlation between body mass index, number of sibling and physical activity. The amounts of physical activity in sleep, housework and leisure-exercise, and title were the most important factors of quality of life, accounting for 5.6% of total variance. Conclusion: This study revealed that quality of life was correlated with physical activity. We suggest implementing physical activity program to improve quality of life among nurses in Taiwan.
