Purpose: This study aimed to describe the current level of physical activity (PA) and to explore the relationships betweenself-efficacy for PA, perceived health status (PHS), attitudes toward aging, ego-integrity and PA in community-dwellingolder Koreans.
Methods: A total of 164 participants were recruited from community centers, churches, and senior welfarecenters in Korea. With questionnaires, a survey was conducted from June 3rd to 22th, 2016. Data were analyzed withdescriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation coefficient using SPSS/WIN 22.0program.
Results: The mean amount of total PA was 5,295.33±6,272.38 MET/min/week. The number of subjectsengaged in vigorous, moderate, and low-intensity activities were 87 (53.0%), 45 (27.4%), and 32 (19.5%), respectively.
Overall, physical activities were different according to the presence of spouse (t=-2.79, p=.006) and the presence ofhousemate (t=2.03, p=.044). The mean scores of self-efficacy for PA, PHS, attitudes towards aging, and ego-integritywere 17.16±4.45, 9.00±2.41, 68.12±9.28 and 51.62±7.59, respectively. There were significant positive correlationsbetween overall PA and self-efficacy for PA (r=.34, p<.001), PHS (r=.23, p=.003), attitudes towards aging (r=.26, p=.001).
Conclusion: Specific programs to promote physical activities in addition to continuous education for improvingself-efficacy for PA, PHS, and attitudes towards aging in community-dwelling older adults are needed.
