Abstract

Background: An important value among Korean Americans is collectivism or giving a group priority over the individual. This value, family support, and demographic characteristics have been reported to influence health behaviors among this group. Yet, no study has examined how collectivism, family support, and demographic characteristics interact with each other and then influence physical activity among Korean American adults. The purpose of the study was to examine the association between family support and physical activity, and the moderating role of demographic characteristics and collectivism on this association among Korean American adults.

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 110 Korean American adults 18 years and older, residing in a Southwestern city in the United States. Self-administered questionnaires were used to measure demographics, collectivism, family support, and physical activity.

Results: Data analysis using a zero-inflated negative binomial regression model revealed a positive relationship between family support and physical activity, while age and gender were moderators of the relationship between family support and physical activity. Collectivism was positively related to physical activity and moderated the relationship between family support and physical activity.

Conclusion: These findings indicate the significance of collectivism and family support that influence Korean American adults' physical activity.

集体主义对体育锻炼和家庭支持的调节作用：横断面设计

背景：韩裔美国人的一个重要价值观是集体主义或集体优先于个人。据报道，这种价值观、家庭支持和人口特征会影响该群体的健康行为。然而，还没有研究探讨集体主义、家庭支持和人口特征如何相互影响，进而影响韩裔美国成年人的体育锻炼。本研究旨在探讨家庭支持与体育锻炼之间的关系，以及人口特征和集体主义对美籍韩裔成年人体育锻炼的调节作用：方法：我们对居住在美国西南部城市的 110 名 18 岁及以上的美籍韩裔成年人进行了一项描述性横断面研究。研究使用自填式问卷调查了人口统计学、集体主义、家庭支持和体育活动：使用零膨胀负二项回归模型进行的数据分析显示，家庭支持与体育锻炼之间存在正相关关系，而年龄和性别是家庭支持与体育锻炼之间关系的调节因素。集体主义与体育锻炼呈正相关，并调节家庭支持与体育锻炼之间的关系：这些研究结果表明，集体主义和家庭支持对美籍韩裔成年人的体育锻炼有重要影响。
