碩士 === 慈濟大學 === 護理研究所 === 97 === Exercise of older adults to maintain or enhance the impact of physical health have been discussed in many studies, it is estimated that only one third of older adults in the regular behavior of exercise, previous studies show that the impact of exercise maintenance of the elderly include physical health, awareness of exercise, social support, in the past exercise experience, self-efficacy and other factors, both domestic and abroad despite a number of behavioral factors on the exercise of the cross-sectional study to explore, but less domestic research for older people in community. To understand the impact of exercise maintenance factors are often found in older adults can effectively enhance the exercise maintenance. The retrospective study design, to study the Ji-an Township, Hualien County had participated from 2003 to 2004 experiment in community walking program people. The use of structured questionnaire on the face-to-face and one-on-one interviews, to collect demographic characteristics, health condition, self-efficacy for exercise, outcome expectancy for exercise, perceived social support, regular exercise behavior, stage of change for exercise of the questionnaire data. Data were analyzed by descriptive, Pearson product-moment correlation and logistic regression analysis using SPSS12.0 software. In this study, a total of 108 valid participants, statistical results showed that about 76% of the elderly where there is regular exercise, which meet the definition of exercise maintenance are 68.5% (regular exercise for more than six months). To logistic regression analysis of variables affect the exercise of their continuing the best model, the variables included in the total number of chronic disease, self-efficacy for exercise, outcome expectancy for exercise, the overall explanatory power for 52.6%. Also found to enhance the exercise strength of the exercise maintenance standards for the medium, the self-efficacy for exercise were the only predictors to explain the variance of 24.1%. Based on the findings of this study, it will provide the future exercise of older people involved in the formulation or implementation of care plans to guide the reference time, the elderly individual can to assist the elderly to enhance self-efficacy for exercise, outcome expectaions for exercise, and to assess the total number of its suffering from chronic diseases, to promote older people to achieve exercise maintenance. Therefore, this study is still about 50% of the variance can not be explained. The future of domestic research to further explore in order to construct the localization of the older population exercise maintenance complete model of influencing factors.
