-Abstract-
The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between self-efficacy and
adherence of aquatic exercise in patients with chronic arthritis. Subjects were 54
patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis who had participated in the 6-week
aquatic exercise program.
The results indicated that the relationship between self-efficacy and aquatic exercise
adherence in patients with chronic arthritis was statistically significant. A significant
difference of self-efficacy was found between adherers and non-adherer and
self-efficacy of adherer was higher than that of non-adherer(t=5.21, p=.000). Self-efficacy
was significantly associated with the total duration of an aquatic exercise
adherence(r=.44, p=.001).
Based on these results, self-efficacy was the important factor which affect adherence
of aquatic exercise in patients with chronic arthritis. Further study was suggested to
identify the relationship among self-efficacy, exercise barrier and other possible factors.
