Abstract

This study was aimed to develop a mobile wellness program, and then to examine the effectiveness of the program in office workers to improve their physical activity. A single group pre-test post-test design was used. A total of 26 office workers received a mobile wellness program using a wearable device during 12 weeks. Effectiveness of the intervention was measured at soon after a mobile wellness program. There were significant differences between pre-test and post-test on daily steps (t=-2.52, p=.018), competence (t=-2.12, p=.044), and wellness(t=-2.83, p=.009). In conclusion, the mobile wellness program using a wearable device is effective for office workers by improving daily steps and encouraging their competence and wellness.

본 연구의 목적은 사무직 근로자의 신체활동 증진을 돕기 위한 모바일 웰니스 프로그램을 개발하고, 그 효과를 검증하기 위해서 실시되었다. 본 연구는 단일군 사전사후 연구설계로서 총 26명의 사무직 근로자들이 웨어러블 디바이스를 활용한 모바일 웰니스 프로그램에 12주간 참여하였다. 중재의 효과를 검증하기 위해서 모바일 웰니스 프로그램 전후에 설문조사가 실시되었다. 연구 결과 사무직 근로자의 보행수(t=-2.52, p=.018), 운동 심리적 욕구만족의 유능성(t=-2.12, p=.044), 웰니스(t=-2.83, p=.009)는 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였다. 결론적으로, 웨어러블 디바이스를 활용한 모바일 웰니스 프로그램은 사무직 근로자들의 보행수를 증가시키고, 운동 심리적 욕구만족의 유능성과 웰니스를 향상시켰다는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을수 있다.
