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.
