To explore the association between volition and participation in daily activities with older adults living in the community.
Cross-sectional study.
Community-dwelling, residing in Victoria (Australia).
A total of 244 adults, of 70 years and older, drawn from a convenience sample, living in their own homes.
Individuals' participation in daily activities was obtained via phone interviews, from the completion of the Phone-FITT survey. Levels of volition (identified under three items; personal causation, values and interests) were collected using the Volition Scale. Analyses were completed through linear regression.
The participants' mean age was 77.5 years (SD 5.7) with 60% being female. Higher levels of participation were associated with higher levels of volition in light housework (n = 225, p = 0.008), shopping (n = 239, p = 0.018), lifting weights to strengthen legs (n = 23, p = 0.031), walking for exercise (n = 163, p < 0.001) and gardening (n = 183, p = 0.001).
Increased volition is associated with increased participation in physical activities with community-dwelling older adults.
探讨社区老年人的意志力与日常活动参与度之间的关联。
横断面研究。
居住在澳大利亚维多利亚州的社区居民。
从便利样本中选取的244名70岁及以上的成年人,他们均居住在自己家中。
通过电话访谈,依据完成的电话FITT调查获取个体的日常活动参与情况。使用意志力量表收集意志力水平(分为三个项目:个人因果关系、价值观和兴趣)。通过线性回归进行分析。
参与者的平均年龄为77.5岁(标准差5.7),60%为女性。在轻度家务(n = 225,p = 0.008)、购物(n = 239,p = 0.018)、举重锻炼腿部(n = 23,p = 0.031)、散步锻炼(n = 163,p < 0.001)和园艺活动(n = 183,p = 0.001)中,较高的参与度与较高的意志力水平相关。
意志力增强与社区居住的老年人参与体育活动的增加有关。
