The purpose of this study was to develop a model describing the process of how older adults with age-related macular degeneration develop physical activity self-efficacy. The primary aim of this research was to determine how adults with age-related macular degeneration living in a southeastern metropolitan area develop physical activity self-efficacy. Sixteen older adults with age-related macular degeneration participated in face-to-face interviews and observations of their regular physical activity. Grounded theory approach was used to identify emerging themes and a model describing the development of physical activity self-efficacy in this cohort. Five themes related to the development of physical activity self-efficacy emerged: 1) physical activity engagement, 2) self-management behaviors, 3) physical activity determinants, 4) strategies, and 5) self-perceived benefits. These themes were analyzed to produce a preliminary model describing the development of physical activity self-efficacy in older adults with age-related macular degeneration. Findings provide a preliminary model, which practitioners can use to facilitate self-efficacy and participation in physical activity in older adults with age-related macular degeneration.
本研究旨在构建一个模型，用以描述与年龄相关的黄斑变性患者如何发展身体活动自我效能。本研究的主要目的是确定居住在东南部大都市地区的与年龄相关的黄斑变性成年人如何发展身体活动自我效能。16 名与年龄相关的黄斑变性患者参与了面对面访谈，并观察了他们的日常身体活动。本研究采用扎根理论方法来识别新兴主题和描述这一队列中身体活动自我效能发展的模型。有五个主题与身体活动自我效能的发展有关：1）身体活动参与度，2）自我管理行为，3）身体活动决定因素，4）策略，5）自我感知益处。对这些主题进行了分析，以生成一个初步的模型，描述与年龄相关的黄斑变性患者的身体活动自我效能的发展。研究结果提供了一个初步的模型，从业者可以使用该模型来促进与年龄相关的黄斑变性患者的自我效能感和身体活动参与度。
