本研究的目的是建立一个理论模型来解释移民过渡和中年妇女的身体活动之间的关系，并测试模型的主要变量之间的关系。基于过渡理论和中年女性对体育活动的态度理论建立了一个理论模型，该模型由四个主要变量组成，出生国、文化适应程度和中年妇女的身体活动。为了测试理论模型，使用了一项全国互联网研究中127名西班牙裔女性和123名非西班牙裔[N-H]亚洲女性的数据进行二次分析。在该模型的主要变量中，在美国停留的时间与西班牙裔女性的身体活动呈负相关。在新罕布什尔州的亚洲妇女的文化适应水平与妇女的身体活动呈正相关。出生国家和文化适应程度是影响西班牙裔和新罕布什尔州亚裔女性身体活动的重要因素。研究结果支持的理论模型，开发来检查移民过渡和身体活动之间的关系，它表明，移民过渡可以发挥重要作用，在美国的影响移民人口的健康行为的理论模型可以广泛用于护理实践和研究，重点是移民妇女和他们的健康行为。卫生保健提供者需要考虑移民过渡的影响，以促进移民妇女的体育活动。
The purposes of the study were to develop a theoretical model to explain the relationships between immigration transition and midlife women’s physical activity and test the relationships among the major variables of the model. A theoretical model, which was developed based on transitions theory and the midlife women’s attitudes toward physical activity theory, consists of four major variables including length of stay in the U.S., country of birth, level of acculturation, and midlife women’s physical activity. To test the theoretical model, a secondary analysis with data from 127 Hispanic women and 123 non-Hispanic [N-H] Asian women in a national Internet study was used. Among the major variables of the model, length of stay in the U.S. was negatively associated with physical activity in Hispanic women. Level of acculturation in N-H Asian women was positively correlated with women’s physical activity. Country of birth and level of acculturation were significant factors that influenced physical activity in both Hispanic and N-H Asian women. The findings support the theoretical model that was developed to examine relationships between immigration transition and physical activity; it shows that immigration transition can play an essential role in influencing health behaviors of immigrant populations in the U.S. The theoretical model can be widely used in nursing practice and research that focus on immigrant women and their health behaviors. Healthcare providers need to consider the influences of immigration transition to promote immigrant women’s physical activity.
