本研究的目的是确定为期 8 周的赋权干预对患有高血压的韩国老年人的久坐行为、体力活动和心理健康的影响。采用准实验设计，老年人参与实验组 (n = 27) 或对照组 (n = 21)。实验组接受为期8周的生活方式改变教育、小组讨论、运动训练等赋权干预，对照组接受规范的高血压教育。 8周后，实验组参与者的久坐行为显着减少，体力活动增加，体力活动的自我效能提高，并且健康感增强（p < 0.05）。然而，抑郁症没有发现显着的组间差异。这项研究的结果表明，对于患有高血压的韩国老年人来说，在减少久坐行为、增加身体活动、身体活动的自我效能以及健康感知方面，赋权干预可能比标准教育更有效。
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of an 8-week empowerment intervention on sedentary behavior, physical activity, and psychological health in Korean older adults with hypertension. Using a quasi-experimental design, older adults participated in either an experimental group (n = 27) or control group (n = 21). The experimental group received an empowerment intervention including lifestyle modification education, group discussion, and exercise training for 8 weeks, and the control group received standard hypertension education. After 8 weeks, participants in the experimental group had significantly decreased sedentary behavior, increased physical activity, increased self-efficacy for physical activity, and increased perceived health (p < 0.05). However, no significant group difference was found for depression. Findings from this study suggest that empowerment interventions may be more effective than standard education in decreasing sedentary behavior and increasing physical activity, self-efficacy for physical activity, and perceived health in Korean older adults with hypertension.
