With the progress of socio-economics, rapid changes in the environmental and population structure, people are paying more attention to health related issues. As the aging population increase yearly, the demand for rehabilitation care in terms of prevention and treatment has increased. The purpose of rehabilitation is to promote recovery so that the patient can go back to work, school or normal lifestyle. Through rehabilitation, the labour demand for aged care can reduce. The patient can increase their dignity and self-esteem, reducing stress on the family, lowering social costs, and achieving the aim of healthy ageing. To understand the intention of patients inrehabilitation, this study is based on planned behavioural theory, adding on “previous rehabilitation experience” as a new factor, establishing a structured study on behavioural intention of rehabilitation patients. This study is targeted at subjects aged more than 20 years old at a certain hospital in the central area, using the survey method to investigate factors affecting patients taking up rehabilitation. This study finds that rehabilitation patients maintain positive attitude towards “participation attitudes”, “subjective norms”, “perceived behavioural control”, “previous rehabilitation experience”, and “rehabilitation intention”. When analysing personal background as a variable with the various factors, the study result shows on an average, subjects with lower education levels have a higher acceptance towards rehabilitation and strong rehabilitation intention. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis indicates factors such as “participation attitudes”, “subjective norms”, “perceived behavioural control” and “previous rehabilitation experience” positively affect patients’ intentions towards rehabilitation. Factors such as “subjective norms” and “perceived behavioural control” have the highest influence.
