日本女性员工体力活动的心理决定因素：西田由子等人。冈山大学医学和牙科研究生院公共卫生系-为了了解心理特征如何影响接受和维持身体活动/锻炼，我们在日本员工中进行了一项基于行为调整阶段的横断面研究。研究人群包括来自日本冈山县五家中型制造企业的719名员工(男性396名，女性323名)(50-200名员工)。女性回答率为67.5%(n=218)，分析符合条件的女性受试者201人(62.2%)。研究问卷包括人口学特征、体力活动/锻炼措施、自我效能感、感知利益和障碍量表。参与者被要求从8个项目的问卷中选择最能描述他们当前体力活动/锻炼水平的项目，我们根据行为变化的跨理论模型将他们的答案转换为5个变化阶段。通过因子分析，将感知效益和障碍量表分为7个因素(4个效益和3个障碍)。采用单因素方差分析，检验心理决定因素与体力活动/锻炼阶段的关系。只有10%的受试者经常进行适度的体力活动(在行动阶段和维持阶段)。研究发现，自我效能感、体重控制效益、身体障碍和时间障碍是女性员工身体活动/锻炼阶段的心理决定因素，尤其是自我效能感与身体活动/锻炼阶段之间存在一致的关系。我们的数据表明，对日本女性员工的健康教育要求卫生专业人员为增强自我效能感提供支持，展示在日常生活中增加体育活动的实际方法，并提供广泛和准确的信息，表明体育活动/锻炼对健康有良好效果。
Psychological Determinants of Physical Activity in Japanese Female Employees: Yuko NISHIDA, et al. Department of Public Health, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry-To understand how psychological characteristics influence adoption and maintenance of physical activity/exercise, we conducted a cross-sectional study among Japanese employees based upon the idea of stages of behavior modification. The study population consisted of 719 employees (male, 396, female, 323) from five medium-sized manufacturing companies (50-200 employees) in Okayama Prefecture, Japan. The female response rate was 67.5% (n=218), among which 201 eligible female subjects (62.2%) were analyzed. The study questionnaire included demographic characteristics, physical activity/exercise measures, self-efficacy measures, and perceived benefit and barriers scales. Participants were asked to select the items that best described their current physical activity/exercise level from an 8-item questionnaire, and we converted their answers to the 5 stages of change according to a transtheoretical model of behavior change. Perceived benefit and barrier scales were classified into 7 factors (4 benefits and 3 barriers) by factor analyses. The relationship between psychological determinants and the stage of physical activity/exercise was examined by one-way analysis of variance. Only 10% of the subjects had moderate physical activity (in the action and maintenance stages) regularly. We found that self-efficacy, "weight control benefit", "physical barrier" and "time barrier" were psychological determinants of physical activity/exercise stages in female employees, and especially there was a consistent relationship between self-efficacy and the stage of physical activity/exercise. Our data suggest that health education for Japanese female employees requires that health professionals should provide support for strengthening self-efficacy, show practical ways to increase physical activity in daily life, and provide broad and accurate information showing that physical activity/exercise have a good effect on health.
