Abstract

본 연구는 범이론모형에 기반하여 운동행위강화 프로그램을 개발하고 이를 고혈압 노인에게 적용하여 혈압 및 신체활동량에 미치는 효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 서울시 소재 노인복지관에 내원하며 연구에 참여를 허락한 65세 이상 고혈압 노인 41명으로 실험군 20명, 대조군 21명이었다. 실험군에게는 범이론모형에 기반한 운동행위강화 프로그램을 8주 동안 적용하였다. 연구결과 실험군은 대조군에 비하여 운동행위 변화단계, 전체 변화과정 점수, 행위적 변화과정 점수, 운동 자기효능감, 신체활동량이 유의하게 증가하였으나, 경험적 변화과정 점수, 의사결정균형, 혈압 등은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 운동행위강화 중재는 비활동 고혈압 노인의 운동행위로의 이행과 신체활동량을 증진시키는데 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 본 프로그램이 지역사회에 거주하는 고혈압 노인에게 적용된다면 운동습관을 형성하게 하여 고혈압 합병증을 예방하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다. This study was done to evaluate the effects of a transtheoretical model (TTM) based exercise behavior improving program for older adults with hypertension on the stage of change, processes of change, decisional balance, exercise self-efficacy, blood pressure and physical activity. A non-equivalent control pre-post design was used for this study. The subjects were 41 adults over 65 years of age with hypertension who did not practice regular exercise. The experimental group (n=20) received the 8-week TTM based exercise behavior improving program. The control group received hypertension self care management education. Descriptive analysis, <TEX>$x^2$</TEX>-test, t-test, paired t-test were used for analyzing the data using SPSS for Windows 14.0. As a results, there was a significant increase in stage of change, total score for processes of change, behavioral process of change, exercise self-efficacy, total physical activity, and walking in the experimental group compared to the control group. But, there were no significant differences between the two groups on the experiential processes of change, decisional balance, and blood pressure. The results of this study suggest that a TTM based exercise behavior improving program has positive effects on improving exercise behavior among older adults with hypertension.
