SELF-REGULATION OF EXERCISE IN OLDER ADULTS OVER TIME

本研究的总体目的是利用自我调节的 运动维持模式，以阐明妇女的运动经验 以及78岁以上的男性。运动的自我调节 维护模型侧重于解释。解释定义 作为感觉的意识，与之相关的思想和感受， 运动，以及赋予运动的意义。特异性 解释是具体的，发生在一个事件期间和之后， 锻炼的一般解释包括概念意义和 关于锻炼的信念采用前瞻性纵向设计， 研究包括四个具体目标：1）描述和比较 78岁以上的人希望有一个有监督的锻炼计划 在他们开始锻炼之前，以及锻炼之后， 这些期望得到满足; 2）检查 预期的解释和情节。 维持者与受监督锻炼计划的退出者相比; 3)来研究特定情节之间的时间关系 解释、一般解释和锻炼行为; 4） 检查一般解释和具体解释的区别 与退出监督锻炼计划的人相比，如果 这种自我调节模式得到支持，护士与老年人一起工作， 个人，如那些在家庭健康，疗养院，或病人 教育，可以开发和测试干预措施（例如，认知 重组，积极的自我对话），以重组情节。具体 在实际锻炼过程中对锻炼的解释。积极 运动行为的解释和消极的解释， 一旦开始，错过锻炼可能会减少辍学人数。 发生了。

The general purpose of this study is to use the self-regulation of exercise maintenance model to clarify the exercise experiences of women and men who are 78 years old and older. The self-regulation of exercise maintenance model focuses on interpretations. Interpretation is defined as the awareness of sensations, the thoughts and feelings associated with exercise, and the meaning assigned to exercise. Episode-specific interpretations are concrete and occur during and after an episode of exercise. General interpretations includes the conceptual meaning of and beliefs about exercise. Using a prospective longitudinal design, this study includes four specific aims: 1) To describe and compare what individuals who are 78+ years old expect of a supervised exercise program before they begin exercising and, after the program, how they perceive these expectations were met; 2) to examine the difference between expected interpretations and episode.specific interpretations for maintainers as compared to dropouts of the supervised exercise program; 3) to examine the temporal relationships among episode-specific interpretations, general interpretations, and exercise behavior; 4) to examine the difference in general and episode.specific interpretations for maintainers compared to dropouts of a supervised exercise program. If this self-regulation model is supported, nurses working with older individuals such as those in home health, nursing homes, or patient education, can develop and test interventions (e.g., cognitive restructuring, positive self-talk) to restructure episode.specific interpretations of exercise during actual episodes of exercise. Positive interpretations of exercise behavior and negative interpretations when exercise is missed may reduce the number of dropouts once initiation has taken place.
