Summary:碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 體育教學碩士在職專班 === 97 === The objective of this study was to examine the different self perceived health status and health-promoting lifestyles among middle age aboriginal women, and discuss the relationships of exercise phase distribution, default variables, and self perceived health status with health promoting lifestyles utilizing exercise phase, self-perceived health status, and health-promoting lifestyle tables. A total of 105 middle age aboriginal women at age of between 30 and 54 living in the towns of Daren and Jinfong in the Daiwu area of Taitung County were randomly sampled through a questionnaire survey. The results were analyzed in use of various methods such as goodness-of-fit test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s product-moment correlation, LSD method, and multivariate regression analysis. All significance level  values is set for .05. The results are as follows: 1.The number of contemplation in the exercise phase table is greatest followed by precontemplation, preparation, maintenance, and then action. 2.The survey results on potential sickness indicate that: the aboriginal women between age group 30 through 39 and 40 through 49 had more potential to get sick than the ones at age 50 through 54; the aboriginal women with middle school degree had more potential to get sick than the ones with elementary and senior high school or higher degrees. Results on current health status show that the women with high school degrees felt healthier than the ones with elementary school degrees. Results on comparisons with any acquaintances indicate that women with one child or no children and three children felt healthier than the ones with two children. 3.In the six factors accounted for affecting the health-promoting lifestyle, the nutrition had most significant effect on the health promoting lifestyle, followed by association support, self accomplishment, stress management, health responsibility, and exercise. Aboriginal woman with high school degrees or higher did better in self accomplishment and nutrition than the ones with elementary school degrees. For the women with annual income of equal to and less than 20,000, they did not perform better than the ones with 21,000 through 40,000 and 41,000 through 60,000 incomes. 4.In the self-perceived health status, current health status, health deterioration, and wellness had a correlation with nutrition amount; potential to get sick had correlation with self accomplishment, nutrition, association support, and stress management. 5.The four predictors of health-promoting lifestyle: precontemplation and maintenance, preparation and maintenance in the exercise phase distribution, annual household income equal to and less than 20,000 and greater than 60,000, potential to get sick in the self perceived status, indicate 35.4% variance of health-promoting lifestyle.
