| خلاصه مقاله | Objective With regard to the health needs of older people, the promotion of physical activity is a relatively new area. Moreover, mental health is an essential part of overall health, and should be a vital and more recognized part for promoting active ageing. This study carried out to investigate the role of physical activity in promoting mental health amongst older people in Tabriz-Iran. Methods Using purposive sampling method 31 older people living in residential care home were selected in this interventional study. Potential participants were recruited based on their informed consent to participate and those who had severe cognitive impairment or were too frail to undertake the survey were excluded. According to the physical activity guidelines for older adults, moderate-intensity aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities were planned for the residents. A face-to-face interview was conducted by using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) to measure mental health status before and after intervention. Descriptive statistics, Wilkcoxon rank-sum, Mann–Whitney U and Chi-Square tests were employed to describe and analyse the data. Findings The results showed that status of somatic symptoms, anxiety and insomnia, social dysfunction and severe depression were significantly different before and after the intervention. Thus, good physical practices appear to be closely associated with good mental health status. Conclusion Because many real obstacles get in the way of being physically active in later life, special efforts are demanded by elderly and those caring for them to compensate for this problem. Often, caregivers believe they are assisting the residents by doing for and allowing them to be sedentary. Consequently, those involved in promoting physical activity with older people may need more training, experience and resources to help them develop their work. |
