The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and adherence of exercise in patients with Ankylosing spondylitis.
The subjects for this study were the 50 patients with Ankylosing spondylitis who had been diagnosed as out patients in the Rheumatism Center of one university hospital in Seoul and participated in the 8 weeks exercise program.
The data were collected by a questionnaire the period from April 1 to May 2,2000. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Frequencies, using the SAS program.
The results were as follows:
The mean duration for exercise adherence of Ankylosing spondylitis was 12.2 months.
The mean self-efficacy score was 74.3 in a possible range of 10 to 100.
A significant difference of self-efficacy was found between adherers and self-efficacy of adherer was higher than that of non-adherers(t=4.25, p=.001). Self-efficacy was significantly associated with the total duration of an exercise adherence(r=.42, p=.001). These findings may indicate that the relationship between self-efficacy and exercise adherence in patients with Ankylosing spondylitis was supported.
From these results, it can be suggested that the relationship between self-efficacy and exercise adherence in patients with Ankylosing spondylitis. Therefore, intervention is needed to promote self-efficacy of Ankylosing spondylitis and futher studies should develop self-efficacy promoting programs for patients with Ankylosing spondylitis.
