The purpose of this research is to explore ways in which exercise
functions as a boost to elderly health promotion. The increasing number
of people living longer has led to international interest in the
enhancement of quality of life and health-related quality of life in
older age (Bowling 2005, 1).
The aim of this research was to get an
overall view of the elderly awareness and experiences about exercise in
the multicultural background. The aim was also to find out the role of
nurses in provision of exercise. This research was carried out to map
the ways of implementing exercise for the aged population. The authors
wanted to get more evidence that exercise promotes elderly health in
various ways ranging from physical, psychological, cognitive, and
sociological and obtain more positive influences of exercise on elderly
people so that they really realize its importance as method of health
promotion. It also includes the suitable ways and guidance that nurses
can utilize to promote elderly health by implementing exercise in
appropriate ways.
The theoretical part of this research entails
aging, types and effects of exercise to elderly, health issues of
elderly and nurses’ role in promotion of exercise on elderly health. The
empirical part was carried out in Finland (Purola elderly home), Kenya
(Eldoret and Cherangani nursing home) and China (Ri Yuexing elderly
home). This research is meant to be utilized by other researchers,
student nurses, paramedics, family members of elderly and any potential
readers.
