Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to influence of perceived health status and falling efficacy on life satisfaction in elderly performing physical activity program. The 12-week physical activity program was applied to public health clinic in H City from January to March 2019, and the evaluation was conducted before and after the program was applied. The data collected from 34 subjects were analyzed by SPSS 23.0. The ratio of women was 94.1%, and the average age was 76.09(±7.37). The number of chronic diseases was the highest with 2 (41.2%) and the average was 2.29 (±1.24). Life satisfaction, perceived health status, and falling efficacy were 3.0 points in the pre-average and 3.3 points in the post-average, which were statistically significant. The factors that affect the life satisfaction before and after applying the physical activity program were perceived health status (p<0.001). The physical activity program for the elderly is an essential project for the welfare policy for the elderly, and continuous performance and expansion are required.
