The 3 study objectives were to compare the activity levels of older people who had received a restorative home care service with those of people who had received "usual" home care, explore the predictors of physical activity in these 2 groups, and determine whether either group met the minimum recommended activity levels for their age group. A questionnaire was posted to 1,490 clients who had been referred for a home care service between 2006 and 2009. Older people who had received a restorative care service were more active than those who had received usual care (p = .049), but service group did not predict activity levels when other variables were adjusted for in a multiple regression. Younger individuals who were in better physical condition, with good mobility and no diagnosis of depression, were more likely to be active. Investigation of alternatives to the current exercise component of the restorative program is needed.
比较接受恢复性家庭护理服务的老年人与接受“常规”家庭护理的老年人的活动水平；探究这两组人群身体活动的预测因素；确定两组人群是否达到其年龄组的最低推荐活动水平。向2006年至2009年间被转介接受家庭护理服务的1490名客户发放了问卷。接受恢复性护理服务的老年人比接受常规护理的老年人更活跃（p = 0.049），但在多元回归中对其他变量进行调整后，服务组并不能预测活动水平。身体状况较好、行动能力良好且未被诊断出患有抑郁症的年轻人更有可能积极活动。需要对恢复性计划当前的运动部分进行替代方案研究。
