摘要：

Self-efficacy plays a major role in improving health behaviors. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a physical activity program that utilized four self-efficacy resources in older family caregivers of persons with dementia. Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with control group was used. Study participants were 64 family caregivers aged 60 years or older. The intervention included a 60-minute group session per week for 8 weeks along with individual counseling and text messages. The experimental group showed significantly higher self-efficacy than the control group. In addition, physical function, quality of life related to health, caregiving burden, and depressive symptoms were significantly improved in the experimental group in comparison with those of control group. These findings suggest that a physical activity program with a focus on the resources of self-efficacy may be not only feasible but also effective for older family caregivers of persons with dementia.
