background: this study examined the applicability of trans-theoretical model (ttm) to understand exercise behavior among female college students in hamadan university of medical sciences, iran in 2007. methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. the dependent variables analyzed were exercise efficacy expectation, decisional balance (pros and cons). the independent variable was s...

aim: regular physical activity has several physical, psychological and social benefits. however, it is a global health problem, especially among icu nurses. therefore, in order to improve nurses’ physical activity, it is required to determine the effective correlated factors. the aim of this study was to delineate predictive factors on the physical activity of icu nurses based on a trans-theore...

conclusions given the importance of physical activity, and given that most women are at the pre-contemplation stage of the trans theoretical model, it seems necessary to devise educational interventional plans for the promotion of physical activities among women referred to health centers. patients and methods this was a cross-sectional study with 310 randomly selected females referred to healt...

backgroundbody image is a determinant of individual attractiveness and physical activity among the young people. this study was aimed to assess the association of trans-theoretical model based exercise behavior change with body image evaluation among the female iranian students.materials and methodsthis cross-sectional study was conducted in sanandaj city, iran in 2016. using multistage samplin...

background and objectives: low fruit/vegetable (fv) diet seems to be a global public health problem. the trans-theoretical stages of change model have long been considered a useful interventional approach in lifestyle modification programs. the aim of this study was to find the most important intermediating factors of fv consumption in mashhad, iran. materials and methods: in this cross-section...

a classical theory is developed which calculates the momentum transfer rate constant between an ion and a non-polar molecule. the model takes into consideration the effect of diffraction outside the capture limit on the rate constants. the theory is used to calculate momentum transfer rate constant for cl- with trans-dichloroethylene and para-difluorobenzene. theoretical results are compared to...
