PY - 2015/9. Considerations of these four sources enable physical activity facilitators to better ensure adherence to physical activity patterns and behavioral modification. RESULTS: Ninety three subjects (51.4%) had the intention to engage in regular physical activity within the next six months. Decisional balance to practice Physical Activity. Musser, William M., "Self -efficacy decisional balance and the stages of change for exercise behavior: Examination of the transtheoretical model in a sample of individuals with mobility impairments" (2003). This study validated the Cystic Fibrosis Decisional Balance for Physical Activity scale (CF-DB-PA) for adults with CF. , the exercise benefits/barriers scale (EBBS) by Sechrist et al. AU - Gao, Zan. A decisional balance measure for assessing and predicting smoking status. Decisional balance was measured using the decisional balance scale ( Marcus & Owen, 1992 ). Participants rated the extent to which they agreed with 6 statements assessing the pros and cons of physical activity. A 5-point Likert scale was used with 1 being not at all important and 5 being very important. Physical activity was obtained by daily pedometer readings, and self-efficacy and decisional balance questionnaires were completed on the last day of each phase. The decisional balance sheet is a promotional tool targeting the perceived pros and cons of behavior adoption. AU - Pope, Zachary C. AU - Lewis, Beth A. Conclusions: Results from this study do not support the hypothesis that the psychosocial constructs – decisional balance, self-efficacy, and social support – were the theoretical mechanisms by which the Delta Body and Soul III intervention influenced changes in diet quality and physical activity. Psychometrics: The barriers and benefits of exercise (along with perceived self-efficacy and interpersonal support for exercise) were significant predictors of stage of exercise adherence for older US adults. Self-efficacy and pros on decisional balance increased with increasing stage. In this study, physical exercise for participants was defined as “any activity performed on a repeated basis over an extended period of time with the intention of improving physical fitness and health”, and the term DECISION TO CHANGE EXERCISE One thing that helps people when thinking of changing is to list in one place the benefits and costs of changing or continuing their current behavior. Seeing the full array of costs and benefits can make it easier to decide if you should change. Below is an example of a Decision to Change Exercise. “Pros & Cons” Decisional Balancing Reflection Activity Goals: • To provide an assessment tool for youth to reflect on the benefits and harms of using substances as well as the benefits and harms of quitting or reducing use. Data were collected on 200 participants ranging in age from 18 to 85 years (M = 53.17), 69% were female. The decisional balance sheet is a promotional tool targeting the perceived pros and cons of behavior adoption. A mailed questionnaire appeared to be a feasible means of collecting data for designing educational programs. Physical activity was positively correlated with educational level. The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend that individuals engage in 60 minutes or more of physical activity daily, mostly at the moderate to vigorous intensity levels (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2010). ... efficacy, and decisional balance (Hutchison, Breckon, & Johnston, 2009). These findings suggest that interventions based on components of the TTM may promote maintenance of physical activity after CR programme completion. and cons of adopting or maintaining physical activity as they progress through the stages of change. The positive decisional balance reflects the higher probability of adopting healthy behavior, and conversely, the negative decisional balance reflects less probability to adopt such behavior. Physical activity is a noted component in the prevention of obesity and chronic disease (United States Department of Health and Human Services: Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2008); however, less than half of US adults report enough physical activity to meet current guidelines (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2009). Decisional balance was assessed using a 16-item questionnaire that assesses beliefs about the pros (i.e., benefits) and cons (i.e., costs) of physical activity. Theoretical constructs, such as decisional balance (weighing the advantages and disadvantages of engaging in physical activity) and self-efficacy (confidence in the ability to be active despite barriers), also play an important role in the adoption and maintenance of health behaviors. Thus, maintenance of physical activity after completion of a CR exercise programme appears to be associated with changes in self-efficacy, decisional balance and behavioural processes. French adults with CF were recruited in several specialist centres in France. Congruence of Readiness to Change, Self-Efficacy, and Decisional Balance for Physical Activity and Dietary Fat Reduction Show all authors. Y1 - 2015/9. 2.3. For example, one pro of engaging in physical activity is, “Regular physical activity would help me relieve tension” This looked at the pros and cons of adhering to exercise among cancer survivors. The only significant difference identified was from contemplation to maintenance (p = 0.02). The current study tested the efficiency and effectiveness of a single-day decisional balance sheet program, targeting increased physical activity and fruit and vegetable intake among older adults. The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in TTM constructs of DB, SE, and both C- decisional balance exercise can be used for any type of desired change, from decreasing or quitting a substance such as alcohol, drugs or tobacco, changing eating habits, increasing physical activity, increasing medication compliance, improving time management etc. Decisional balance and self-efficacy determine readiness for physical activity in the context of the Transtheoretical Model. Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science: Vol. decisional balance for exercise, (d) self-efficacy for exercise, and (e) current physical activity. Factor analysis was used to assess the structure of the decisional balance measures. Decisional balance, stage of change, F/V consumption, and physical activity were assessed at baseline and 3 months. This study aimed to identify exercise behavior changes, self efficacy and decisional balance in nursing and midwifery students. The 4-point scale of decisional balance includes the benefits and hindrances of a physical activity and is rated from 0 to 3 (43 items) . Validation, Mexico, Decisional balance, Physical exercise, Stages of change. Especially a decision as challenging as integrat-ing at least five weekly exercise sessions … The most frequent stage of change was the preparation stage All undergraduate nursing and midwifery students (n=300) participated in this study. Results. PY - 2015/9. Lastly, a questionnaire was used to look at the processes of change for exercise. Goal setting has become an integral part of physical activity and dietary interventions; however, few studies have examined the theoretical constructs that drive goal-setting theory. See all articles by this author. 6, No. physical health issues, including sleep disturbance and fatigue, disrupted exercise and dietary regimes, ... Decisional Balance Sheet: Energy Givers versus Energy Drainers Decisional Balance (16) is one of the major components ... in physical activity, healthy eating, and positive lifestyle choices The DBS is derived from the expectancy theory, which stated that the level of a person’s expectations of gains or failures is what determines his relative course of action. DECISIONAL BALANCING Many people change on their own. When they are asked what brought about the change, they often say they just “thought about it,” meaning they evaluated the consequences of their current behavior and of changing before making a final decision. The aim was to examine patterns of (1) physical activity and (2) mediators of behavior change (self-efficacy, decisional balance, and processes of change) across stages of Results: All mediation criteria were satisfied for both intervention arms. The relationship between decisional balance, stage, and behavioral outcomes was assessed with mixed model analyses. The epidemic of childhood obesity has focused attention on PA patterns in youth in the U.S., and A considerable proportion of them was not ready to become more physically active. 4, pp. Materials and methods Procedure and participants Decision Balance Questionnaire for exercise (DBQ; Marcus, Rakowski, & Rossi, 1992). decisional balance. Y1 - 2015/9. AU - Gao, Zan. Physical activity has been shown to contribute to both physical health and psychological health that translate to a perception of a higher quality of life (Bize, Johnson & Plotnikoff, 2007). N2 - Background: The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) has been widely used to understand individuals' physical activity (PA) correlates and behavior. [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (at 3 weeks) and Follow-up (at 3 months). ] Decisional Balance was assessed by using the Decision Making for Physical Activity questionnaire. The study was intended to give insights into the use of TTM on physical activity in the Malaysian setting.
