Exercise is a key factor in the prevention of many chronic conditions. There are gaps in the research pertaining to social roles, daily hassles women experience, and exercise participation. The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine the effects of daily hassles, age, and race on regular physical activity in perimenopausal women. This study utilized a convenience sample of 35 women aged 35-55 from a large southern university. The Exercise subscale of the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP), a 5-item Likert scale, was used to measure exercise participation. Daily hassles were measured using the 53-item hassles portion of the Hassles and Uplifts Scale. Age and race were also collected from each participant. There was no statistically significant interaction between overall hassles scale scores and Exercise scale scores. There was, however, a statistically significant effect of the Household subscale on exercise. The Environmental and Social Issues subscale with race had an effect on exercise participation, although neither of these variables alone had any effect. Further understanding of the effects of daily hassles on exercise participation in women will help nurses to develop client-centered exercise programs to better assist them in changing lifestyle behaviors.
运动是预防多种慢性病的关键因素。在有关社会角色、女性所经历的日常烦心事以及运动参与情况的研究方面存在空白。这项描述性研究的目的是探讨日常烦心事、年龄和种族对围绝经期女性定期进行体育活动的影响。本研究采用便利抽样法，从一所位于南方的大型大学选取了35名年龄在35至55岁之间的女性。健康促进生活方式量表（HPLP）中的运动分量表（一个5项李克特量表）用于测量运动参与情况。日常烦心事通过烦恼与愉悦量表中53项烦恼部分进行测量。同时还收集了每位参与者的年龄和种族信息。总体烦恼量表得分与运动量表得分之间不存在统计学上的显著交互作用。然而，家庭分量表对运动有统计学上的显著影响。环境与社会问题分量表与种族对运动参与有影响，尽管这两个变量单独来看均无任何影响。进一步了解日常烦心事对女性运动参与的影响，将有助于护士制定以客户为中心的运动计划，从而更好地协助她们改变生活方式行为。
