Abstract

Background: Multiple role theory has proven effective in predicting variations in health, and a growing body of research has shown the importance of taking women's roles into account when analyzing physical activity levels. Nonetheless, researchers have yet to characterize the interaction between the various roles played by women and their physical activity.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to elucidate the relationship between multiple roles and leisure-time physical activities (LTPAs) and to determine whether LTPA varies among women across different roles.

Methods: Data were derived from the 2013 National Health Interview Survey database provided by the Health Promotion Administration of Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare, which includes 5,147 working-age women. The current study focused on women aged 20-50 years. The roles considered in this study included living with a partner, living with children, and employment status. LTPA levels were categorized as regular, inactive, or insufficient based on the LTPA metabolic equivalent in the previous week. The associations among level of LTPA, multiple roles, and demographic characteristics were analyzed using multiple regression analysis.

Results: We found single mothers with children to be more inactive than partnered mothers, and women living with a partner and those living with children were more likely to be inactive, whereas women working full-time were not at risk of inactivity. Women who assumed a larger number of roles were at a greater risk of inactivity. These findings are consistent with role strain theory.

Conclusions: Single mothers with children are more inactive than partnered mothers, and appropriate social support programs are necessary to reduce further disparities. Second, multiple demands on working-age women limit the time available for LTPAs, particularly among women living with a partner and children and engaged in full-time work. A physical activity intervention is a program or initiative designed to promote physical activity and improve health outcomes. We should develop and provide sustainable physical activity resources through the help of partners' housework to better promote physical activity intervention for working-age women.

工作年龄女性的多重角色与闲暇时间体育活动之间的关系。
背景:多重角色理论已被证明能有效预测健康状况的变化,越来越多的研究表明,在分析体育锻炼水平时,将女性的角色考虑在内非常重要。目的:本研究旨在阐明多重角色与闲暇时间体育活动(LTPAs)之间的关系,并确定不同角色的女性在LTPA方面是否存在差异:数据来自台湾卫生福利部健康促进署提供的 2013 年国民健康访谈调查数据库,其中包括 5147 名工作年龄女性。本次研究的重点是 20-50 岁的女性。本研究考虑的角色包括与伴侣同住、与子女同住和就业状况。LTPA水平根据前一周的LTPA代谢当量分为经常、不活跃和不足。我们使用多元回归分析法分析了LTPA水平、多重角色和人口特征之间的关系:结果:我们发现有孩子的单身母亲比有伴侣的母亲更不活跃,与伴侣同居和有孩子的妇女更有可能不活跃,而全职工作的妇女则没有不活跃的风险。承担更多角色的妇女不活动的风险更大。这些发现与角色压力理论相吻合:结论:有子女的单身母亲比有伴侣的母亲更不活跃,因此有必要制定适当的社会支持计划,以进一步缩小差距。其次,对工作年龄妇女的多重要求限制了她们进行长期体育锻炼的时间,尤其是与伴侣和孩子生活在一起并从事全职工作的妇女。体育锻炼干预是一项旨在促进体育锻炼和改善健康状况的计划或措施。我们应通过伴侣家务劳动的帮助,开发和提供可持续的体育活动资源,以更好地促进对工龄妇女的体育活动干预。
