The purpose of this study was to investigate the physical activity profiles of clinical nurses in Taipei municipal hospitals. This study also explored the factors that influence physical activity, including personal background and social psychological factors. A total of 400 Taipei municipal hospital clinical nurses were selected using a randomized procedure to participate in a 3day physical activity record assignment and fill in a structured questionnaire. Study results indicate that energy expenditures for clinical nurses on working days are higher than that on nonworking days. Nonworking days of clinical nurses are characterized by a lack of physical activity. Nurses who were required to take turns working in three shift rotation cycles, those with educations at the junior college level or below, and those who were married tended to expend more energy on physical activity. Social psychological factors affecting the physical activities of clinical nurses include mainly exercise selfefficacy. Heavy work loading, poor health conditions, laziness, and lack of time tended to lower exercise selfefficacy. On nonworking days, perceived barriers to exercise are the main issue area affecting moderatetovigorous physical activity. Nurses with greater perceived barriers to exercise expend less energy on physical activity. The main influencing factors for perceived barriers to exercise include laziness and lack of time. |
