Purpose: This research was conducted to identify methods of inducing health promotion behavior, perceived health status, social participation and empowerment in the frail elderly receiving home visiting services.
Methods: The subjects were 255 frail elders aged over 65 registered in the home visiting services of five public health centers in Daegu. Data were collected from June 9 to August 10, 2015. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe’s test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient using SPSS Win 18.0.
Results: The mean health promotion behavior, perceived health status, social participation and empowerment scores were 2.56 (±0.33), 7.11 (±1.98), 2.60 (±0.69) and 2.90 (±0.29), respectively. There was significant difference in health promotion behavior by client classification and life satisfaction. There were significant differences in perceived health status by life satisfaction, social participation by religion and client classification and empowerment by past jobs. Health promotion behavior, perceived health status, social participation and empowerment were positively correlated.
