Abstract
Purpose This study was done to investigate the effects of Individual Silverrobic Exercise on the activities of daily
living, powerlessness, and self-esteem in older nursing home residents. Methods It was used for the pretestposttest
design of a nonequivalent control group. Forty-eight older residents (23 for the experimental group and
25 for the control group) were conveniently recruited from two different nursing homes in one province. The
residents of the experimental group performed the Individual Silverrobic Exercise every 50 minutes day, twice
a week for 12 weeks. Data were collected by using self-report questionnaires about the dependant variables, and
were analyzed using x2-test and t-test with SPSS/WIN. Results The residents who practiced the Individual
Silverrobic Exercise reported significantly high levels of daily living activities (t=4.87, p=.032) and self-esteem
(t=14.95, p<.001) compared with those in the control group. In addition, the level of powerlessness was
significantly low in the experimental group residents compared with residents in the control group (t=4.19,
p=.046). Conclusion The study results indicate that an Individual Silverrobic Exercise has to be regularly provided
to older residents in nursing homes to enhance their physical and psychological health.
