Abstract

Low physical activity (PA) and high sedentary behavior (SB) place residents in assisted living at risk for physical decline, but little is known about factors that influence PA/SB in this setting. In the current cross-sectional study, we described objectively measured PA/SB (activPAL™) and examined the relationships between PA/SB and use of an assistive walking device, depression, sleep disturbance, pain, fatigue, social isolation, and the tendency to make social comparisons. Fifty-four residents from eight assisted living facilities participated. Mean time spent in PA was 252.9 (SD = 134.3) minutes/day. Mean time spent in SB was 660.8 (SD = 181.4) minutes/day. Depression predicted PA (R2 = 0.16). Residents using an assistive device spent significantly more time in SB (p = 0.02). Fatigue correlated with time in longer bouts of SB (r = 0.19, p = 0.04). The tendency to make social comparisons correlated with SB (r = 0.22, p = 0.04). Findings show residents in assisted living are inactive and further research is needed to fully understand factors that influence PA/SB. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, xx(x), xx-xx.].

辅助生活中居民身体活动与久坐行为的初步研究。

低体力活动(PA)和高久坐行为(SB)使辅助生活居民有身体衰退的风险，但对这种情况下影响PA/SB的因素知之甚少。在当前的横断面研究中，我们描述了客观测量的PA/SB (activPAL™)，并检查了PA/SB与使用辅助行走设备、抑郁、睡眠障碍、疼痛、疲劳、社会隔离和社会比较倾向之间的关系。来自8家辅助生活机构的54名居民参与了调查。平均PA时间为252.9分钟/天(SD = 134.3)。平均SB时间为660.8分钟/天(SD = 181.4)。抑郁预测PA (R2 = 0.16)。使用辅助装置的居民在SB中花费的时间显著增加(p = 0.02)。长时间SB发作时疲劳程度与时间相关(r = 0.19, p = 0.04)。社会比较倾向与SB相关(r = 0.22, p = 0.04)。研究结果表明，辅助生活的居民不活跃，需要进一步的研究来充分了解影响PA/SB的因素。[老年护理研究，xx(x)， xx-xx.]

期刊介绍： Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
