Objective This study aimed to investigate the physical activity status of liver transplant patients,explore the relevant influencing factors,and provide a basis for developing a physical activity management program for this population.Methods A convenience sampling method was used from January to May 2023 to investigate 250 liver transplant patients in a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou,using a general situation questionnaire,international physical activity questionnaire,exercise fear scale,and organ transplant patient symptom and happiness scale.Ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relevant influencing factors of physical activity in liver transplant patients.Results 240 valid questionnaires were collected,and the median total metabolic equivalent of physical activity in liver transplant patients was 2 433(506,30263)MET-min/week patients.Ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed that body mass index(BMI),time to transplantation,postoperative follow-up,fear of exercise,and quality of life were significant factors influencing physical activity in liver transplant patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Liver transplant patients have lower levels of physical activity,mainly with light activity intensity such as walking.Medical staff need to pay attention to the management of physical activity in liver transplant patients,especially for obese and low-quality of life patients.Postoperative follow-up should be strengthened to improve their fear of exercise and promote early and regular exercise.
