ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Hemodialysis dialysis patients are restricted in their physical functions. These restrictions affect physical activity, psychological status, health-related quality of life, and medical prognoses.PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to explore regular exercise behavior and its predictors in hemodialysis patients.METHODS:
A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study design was used, and 122 subjects were recruited. Convenience sampling was conducted at an outpatient hemodialysis center of a regional teaching hospital in northern Taiwan.RESULTS:
The results showed that only 23.8% of the participants engaged in regular exercise. There were statistically significant differences between the regular-exercise group and the no-regular-exercise group in terms of the 6-minute walk distance, exercise self-efficacy, fatigue, and depression. A logistic regression analysis indicated that depression (odds ratio=0.93) and exercise self-efficacy (odds ratio=1.45) were the significant predictors of regular exercise behavior for hemodialysis patients. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The present study demonstrated that low depression and high exercise self-efficacy were predictors of regular exercise behavior. The findings provide healthcare professionals with information that may be used to develop interventions that target the effective improvement of patient exercise habits.Palabras clave
