ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to analyze the health concerns, health behavior, and related factors for elders taking part in activities at senior centers. METHOD: A total of 811 elders were selected through conveniently sampling. Data were collected from November 21, 2006 to December 20, 2006. Data analysis included frequency, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan test, and Stepwise Multiple Regression using SPSS Win 15.0. RESULTS: For health concerns statistically significant differences were found for gender, age, family, pockety money, sleeping time, regular health check-ups, and exercise. For health behavior statistically significant differences were found for gender, age, family, pocket money, religion, medical insurance, perceived health status, sleeping time, regular health check-ups, chronic illness, regular breakfast, exercise, and drinking. Perceived health status was identified as a variable influencing the health behavior. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that perceived health status can be considered as factor for significant nursing interventions to help single elders and older elders in senior centers.
