Abstract:
Purpose:The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between perceived exercise benefits/barriers, competence, depression, and wellness, and then to identify influencing factors on the wellness of traditional market traders.
Methods:One hundred eight persons working in a traditional market participated in the study of questionnaire. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression.
Results:The scores were 2.82±0.66 for “perceived exercise benefits”, 1.84±0.42 for “perceived exercise barriers”, 4.68±1.56 for “competence”, 9.60±7.56 for “depression”, and 3.64±0.64 for “wellness”. Regression analysis to identify factors affecting the wellness of traditional market traders showed that “perceived exercise benefits” was the most significant factor (β=.32, p<.001), followed by “competence” (β=.04, p=.009) and “depression” (β=.17,p=.039).The explanatory power of these variables for wellness of traditional market traders was 53%.
Conclusion:Our findings suggest that perceived exercise benefits, competence and depression are significantly related to traditional market trader’s wellness. Therefore, wellness programs should be developed to reduce depression and improve perceived exercise benefits and competence.
