[[alternative]]The effect of Sinew Changing intervetion in health status for menopause women

[[abstract]]本研究旨在探討易筋經護理措施對更年期婦女的健康狀態以及運動自我效能之成效。本研究採準實驗研究設計，針對南部某縣市之更年期婦女為對象收案共71人，以非隨機分配分為實驗組與控制組，實驗組提供8週的「易筋經護理措施」，控制組不做介入措施。研究成效之評量指標為「肺活量」、「肌力」、「肌耐力」、「身體脂肪百分比」、「骨密度」、「血清脂肪值」、「運動自我效能」。研究資料以SPSS12.0視窗版套裝軟體進行資料之分析，描述性統計以次數分佈、百分比、平均值、標準差等呈現。推論統計以T-test、、Chi-Square等來進行。 研究結果發現，實驗組實施「易筋經護理措施」方案後，在「身體脂肪百分比」、「腰臀圍比」、「骨密度」、「運動自我效能」改變，均達顯著差異。整體而言，「易筋經護理措施」對更年期婦女的健康狀態與體能有顯著的成效及很好的接受度，本研究結果未來可提供相關單位做為更年期健康促進之參考，並建議未來研究者在本研究的基礎下，擴大層面探討易筋經功的適用範圍及成效。 關鍵字：更年期、易筋經、健康狀態、運動自我效能[[abstract]]The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Sinew Changing exercise program that improves health status in menopause women. A quasi-experimental research design with two groups was used in this study. Totally 71 menopause women were obtained from one suburban site in Taiwan. The experimental group received an eight-week Sinew Changing exercise program, whereas the control group received none. The vital capacity, muscle-strength, muscle-endurance, bone mineral density, body composition, exercise self-efficacy scale were used to measure the outcome variables. The results of this study showed the significant differences of change in the body fat, bone mineral density, and waist/hip ratio ,and self-efficacy during the exercise program. The findings of this study indicate that the Sinew Changing exercise program could significantly improve the bone mineral density levels and physical abilities. This Sinew Changing exercise program is recommended to used in promoting health for menopause women. Key Words: Menopause, Sinew Changing exercise program, Health Status, Exercise Self-Efficacy
