Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present ways to provide more precise patient-oriented services by presenting implications and promoting a better understanding of exercise constraints. This study used question-naire survey as measurement tool for 196 hospital inpatients in 5 gener-al hospitals in the metropolitan area (Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon). The collected data were analyzed using frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 23.0. The following results were obtained. First, physical activity level and health condition on their physical constraints showed that their health condition factors such as pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression had greater effects on physical constraints than other factors. Second, physical activity level, and health condition on their psychological constraints showed that health condition factors had major effects on patients' psychological constraints. Thirdly, physical activity level, and health condition on their sociocultural constraints found that anxiety/depression appeared as the key influence factor in physical and psychological constraints.
