uses the Psychometric evaluation of the Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep QualityIndex、Systemic Lupus Erythematosus-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire and Systemic Lupus Disease Activity of Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Score and Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention of walking exercise on Systemic lupus erythematosus.

Methods:

Through the quasi-experimental study design, the investigators intend to recruit the SLE patients from a hospital in Taiwan between 2021-2022. The main intervention is composed of home walking, which contained walking guidance and telephone consultation. After that, the investigators apply the structured questionnaires and existing data to collect performance indicators, covering the Chinese version of Pittsburgh Sleep QualityIndex, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire, Systemic Lupus Disease Activity of Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Score, and Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire.
