Zusammenfassung:Abstract Hill A-M, Hoffmann T, McPhail S, Beer C, Hill KD, Brauer SG, Haines TP. Factors associated with older patients' engagement in exercise after hospital discharge. Objectives To identify factors that are associated with older patients' engagement in exercise in the 6 months after hospital discharge. Design A prospective observational study using qualitative and quantitative evaluation. Setting Follow-up of hospital patients in their home setting after discharge from a metropolitan general hospital. Participants Participants (N=343) were older patients (mean age ± SD, 79.4±8.5y) discharged from medical, surgical, and rehabilitation wards and followed up for 6 months after discharge. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Self-perceived awareness and risk of falls measured at discharge with a survey that addressed elements of the Health Belief Model. Engagement and self-reported barriers to engagement in exercise measured at 6 months after discharge using a telephone survey. Results Six months after discharge, 305 participants remained in the study, of whom 109 (35.7%) were engaging in a structured exercise program. Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated participants were more likely to be engaging in exercise if they perceived they were at risk of serious injury from a fall (odds ratio [OR] =.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], .48–.78; P
