Abstract

Aims

to explore factors that can influence proactive health behaviors in pre-frailty older adults.

Design

this is a qualitative content analysis study.

Methods

data collected through interviews with 20 pre-frailty older adults in a geriatric unit at a general hospital in Guangzhou, China. We used deductive content analysis to categorize codes and calculate their frequency based on the theory of planned behavior. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze data that could not be analyzed according to the theory of planned behavior.

Results

the data were analyzed and grouped into categories by beliefs similarity, counted from the frequencies. The factors of 6 behavioral beliefs, 6 normative beliefs, and 14 control beliefs were issued. Six themes emerged, including positive attitudes toward proactive health behaviors outcomes, lack of proactive health awareness the negative influence of children on proactive health behaviors, lack of knowledge of proactive health behaviors, spouses play an important role in proactive health behaviors, low resistance to unhealthy behavior.

Conclusion

this research will support to the construction of a psychometric scale to measure the intentions of proactive health behaviors in pre-frailty older adults. These influencing factors will also help us to develop measures to improve the ability of pre-frailty older adults to be proactive health in the future.

Impact

this research validates and extends the theory of planned behavior. The findings of factors influencing proactive health behaviors help us to develop strategies to enhance proactive health in pre-frailty older adults in the future. These findings also provide content for the construction of the psychometrics of proactive health intentions scales.

Reporting Method

this study follows the COREQ reporting norms.

影响虚弱前老年人主动健康行为的因素：基于计划行为理论的定性研究。

设计：这是一项定性内容分析研究。方法：我们在中国广州一家综合医院的老年病科对 20 名身体虚弱的老年人进行了访谈，并收集了相关数据。我们采用演绎式内容分析法对代码进行分类，并根据计划行为理论计算其频率。结果：对数据进行了分析，并按信念相似性进行了分类，计算了频率。发布了 6 个行为信念、6 个规范信念和 14 个控制信念因子。出现了 6 个主题，包括对主动健康行为结果的积极态度、缺乏主动健康意识、子女对主动健康行为的负面影响、缺乏主动健康行为知识、配偶在主动健康行为中扮演重要角色、对不健康行为的抵制力低。影响：本研究验证并扩展了计划行为理论。影响：本研究验证并扩展了计划行为理论。关于影响主动健康行为的因素的研究结果有助于我们制定策略，以提高体弱前老年人未来的主动健康水平。这些发现还为主动健康意向量表的心理测量学构建提供了内容。报告方法：本研究遵循 COREQ 报告规范。
