Physical Activity After Cardiac Rehabilitation: Evidence That Different Types of Self-Efficacy Are Important in Maintainers and Relapsers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective: To test whether maintenance self-efficacy predicts physical activity among individuals who maintain an active lifestyle and whether recovery self-efficacy predicts physical activity among those who relapse to a less active lifestyle. Study Design and Participants: In a longitudinal study, data were collected from 114 participants 4–10 days after a myocardial infarction (MI), 2 weeks after rehabilitation (2 months after MI), and 8 months after MI. Results: In a subgroup of participants who maintained regular activity at 8 months after MI, maintenance self-efficacy predicted physical activity. Among participants who had relapsed by 8 months after MI, recovery self-efficacy predicted physical activity. Conclusions: Those who conduct interventions among cardiac rehabilitation patients should aim to increase recovery self-efficacy among those patients who are at risk for relapse and to increase maintenance self-efficacy among those patients who are likely to maintain their level of physical activity.

Introduction: Transtheoretical model (TTM) is one of the models applied to assess the physical activity behavior. From critiques to this model is that the majority of the studies based on the transtheoretical model have employed cross-sectional designs so that it fails to show the dynamic nature of change. Thus, the aim of the current study was to investigate transitional shifts in Physical Act...

BACKGROUND Physical activity is associated with reduced mortality and morbidity. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an effective intervention for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Unfortunately, women are less likely to engage in, or sustain, regular physical activity. Objectives were to (1) describe women's guidelines-based levels of physical activity during and after CR and (2) determin...
