Factors Influencing Physical Activity among Women with Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Keywords:
Body mass index, Influencing factors, Knee, Osteoarthritis, Pain, Physical activity, Women, ThailandAbstract
This cross-sectional study examined the factors influencing physical activity among women with osteoarthritis of the knee. The Interaction Model of Client Health Behaviors was used as a theoretical framework to guide the study. The sample consisted of 242 female participants with osteoarthritis of the knee attending the outpatient department of a university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Data were collected using Personal Data Questionnaire, Modified Thai version of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities’ Osteoarthritis Index, Thai version of Catastrophizing Subscale of the Coping Strategies Questionnaire, Thai version of Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire about Physical Activity modified for osteoarthritis of the knee, Revised Thai Multi-dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Short Form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistical regression.
The findings revealed that the mean age of the participants was 65.1 years and 60% had low physical activity. Body mass index and pain-related fear significantly influenced physical activity. However, age, knee pain, functional limitation, pain catastrophizing, and social support did not significantly influence physical activity. The implication for nursing practice from this finding is that nurses need to assess body mass index and identify barriers to performing physical activity among women with osteoarthritis. Any intervention program should include the benefit of weight reduction as well as strategies to reduce pain-related fear to increase their physical activity level.
