Healthy aging is the permanent right of all people. Thus, the purpose of this work was to investigate the expectation confirmation model constructs on intention of continuing to consume fruit and vegetables among the rural elderly.
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 332 elderly. The expectation confirmation model served as a theoretical framework. A random sampling was recruited. Data were collected through face-to-face visit in the second 6 months of 2016. The data were then analyzed using LISREL 8.5 and SPSS 16 software.
This model could explain 79% of intention to continue fruit and vegetable consumption. The usefulness and satisfaction had the most effect on the intention to continue the consumption of fruit and vegetables.
Expectation confirmation model depicted a proper application in explaining the intention to continue the consumption of fruit and vegetables in the elderly. Since perceived benefits were the most important factor in determining the intention to continue F&V consumption in this study, it is required that policymakers utilize suitable efficient strategies to promote the perception of benefits of F&V consumption in the elderly by means of campaigns in the society, organizations, and families.
健康老龄化是所有人的永恒权利。因此，本研究旨在探讨期望确认模型在农村老年人持续食用水果和蔬菜意愿方面的构建情况。
本横断面研究对332名老年人进行。期望确认模型作为理论框架。采用随机抽样招募。2016年下半年通过面对面访问收集数据。然后使用LISREL 8.5和SPSS 16软件进行数据分析。
该模型可解释79%的水果和蔬菜持续消费意愿。有用性和满意度对水果和蔬菜持续消费意愿影响最大。
期望确认模型在解释老年人水果和蔬菜持续消费意愿方面有恰当应用。由于在本研究中感知收益是决定水果和蔬菜持续消费意愿的最重要因素，政策制定者需要通过社会、组织和家庭中的宣传活动，运用合适有效的策略来提高老年人对水果和蔬菜消费收益的认知。
