Phvsical self-esteem across four ~hases of a cardiac rehabilitation Program.

[摘要] The purpose of this study was to investigate physical self-esteemacross the four phases of cardiac rehabilitation. Atotal of 32 subjects between the ages of 55-75 (M = 22, F =l0), 2 in Phase I, 7 in Phase II, 4 in Phase III, and 19 inPhase IV) volunteered for this study. The Perceived Self-Perception Profile-Adults (PSPP-A), and the PerceivedImportance Profile (PIP) instruments were administered toall subjects. The mean and standard deviation of thesubjects were indicative of a mature cardiac rehabilitationpopulation. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)performed on the data indicated that there were nosignificant differences between phases for each subdomainfor both the PSPP-A and the associated PIP (p > .05).However the Appearance subscale on the PSPP-A approachedsignificance (p = .07). Additionally, the FunctionalCapacity subscale in the PIP approached significance (p =.09). Future investigations incorporating expansions andmodifications to the current investigation are suggested toaccurately access physical self-esteem in cardiacrehabilitation programs.
