Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine if a behavioral health education intervention would increase exercise self-efficacy thereby increasing exercise adherence among elementary school employees. In addition, social support observations were made to determine what types of social support existed for the treatment intervention groups. The design of this study was a quasi-experimental matched-pair design using four elementary school worksites (three treatment schools and one control school). The treatment intervention consisted of health promotion consultants using self-efficacy techniques through a "Personal Exercise Plan" or "PEP" during monthly onsite participant sessions. Self-efficacy and social support were assessed using the Causal Dimension Scale II and Social Support for Exercise Habits Scale, respectively. Exercise adherence was assessed by use of self-reported exercise logs used to track adherence to a cardiovascular exercise program of at least three 20-minute sessions per week of aerobic activity. Exercise-related outcomes measures (taken during onsite pre and post program fitness assessments) included resting heart rate, blood pressure, body composition percentage, and estimated VO subscript 2max. The study sample included 45 treatment and 15 control group participants comprising 88% females; 77% Caucasians and 18% African Americans; 88% between the ages of 31 and 60 years of age; and 75% teachers and 25% office and custodial employees. Additionally, 93% of the control group and 60% of the treatment group were exercising before the start of the program. The health education intervention increased self-efficacy in the intervention group at midpoint, but decreased somewhat at program end. Coworker support seemed to be the greatest form of social support for the intervention group throughout the program. The intervention groups did not have greater adherence than the control group in terms of frequency and duration of cardiovascular exercise, however more participants in the treatment group were exercising at the program goal compared with control participants. The intervention group increased significantly in resting heart rate and diastolic blood pressure compared with the control group, however, both treatment and control groups failed to significantly improve in weight or body composition but did improve in systolic blood pressure.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An essential component to creating a successful worksite wellness program may be through the integration of social support. Research has shown that social support, when given in a group session can assist individual's participation in healthy behavior. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect a social support/group exercise program has on exercise self-efficacy and exercise adherence in adults at the worksite. This sample of convenience consisted of 35 adults (4 males, 31 females) ages 28-59 years, with no pre-existing health problems or clearance from their physician. Participants were stratified into groups based on fitness level and sex. The control group participated in the program independently, while the intervention group attended a weekly 1-hour session including group exercise and social support in addition to the suggested program for the duration of 12-weeks. An individual's exercise self-efficacy was examined through the Exercise Confidence Survey and social support examined using the Social Support and Exercise Survey. Participants logged physical activity weekly using the program booklet. Physical activity logs were turned in using the 7-day activity recall questionnaire each week. A paired samples t-test was used to determine the differences between the means of the intervention and control groups from week 1 to week twelve examining exercise self-efficacy and social support. A repeated measures one-way ANOVA was used to examine hours spent in physical activity at weeks 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12. In summary, there was a within groups significant increase in friends and family social support for those participating in the intervention and a significant increase in family social support for the control. The intervention group demonstrated a significant increase in physical activity between week one and 12"--Document.

Download or read book Evaluation of Two Educational Exercise Adherence Interventions on Rates of Exercise and Exercise Adherence written by Jack W. Skaggs and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of theoretical exercise-behavior change interventions in the workplace have demonstrated the ability to increase the level of the employees short-term exercise behavior. However, the effects of these programs on long-term adherence rates, and the cognitive-behavioral changes targeted by those interventions are relatively unknown. Furthermore, would a program targeting health and fitness improvements have a similar impact on rates of exercise adherence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate two educational exercise adherence interventions on rates of exercise and exercise adherence. Two eight week educational exercise adherence programs were developed for the purpose of this study. The first group the Mastering Adherence Program (MAP) focused on self-regulatory behavior skills and theoretical constructs derived from the social cognitive theory. The second program was the Fitness In Training program (FIT) who focused on improving or maintaining a participant selected fitness component(s). MAP Participants attended eight one on one educational sessions with a program educator to implement the program on an individual basis. The lessons were designed to target self-regulation and self-efficacy for exercise. The FIT group attended eight one on one educational sessions with a program educator to implement the program on an individual basis. These lessons were designed to utilize increase in health and fitness as the method of behavior change. Exercise and construct measurements occurred at pre-test, post-test, and follow-up.

Download or read book Patient Treatment Adherence written by Hayden B. Bosworth and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book summarizes the adherence literature for a number of specific health behaviors and populations. It provides a comprehensive source on the conceptualization, interventions, and measurement of treatment adherence and a synthesis of the research across demographic and chronic diseases. The text presents problems associated with treatment adherence; theoretical models that have commonly been used to understand, predict, and/or improve adherence; adherence with specific behaviors including exercise, diet, rehabilitation, medication, and psychological therapies; and strategies in enhancing adherence. Because chronic diseases involve similar behaviors, the handbook is organized by specific behaviors and special populations, and not by disease. Every chapter is sub-organized by specific diseases to ensure easy access for the readers and features a discussion of adherence across demographic and chronic conditions, a review of previous interventions directed at the particular behavior or population, questions and scoring algorithms for widely used measures of treatment adherence, a discussion of the clinical research, and where appropriate, policy implications. Patient Treatment Adherence addresses: practical recommendations to improve adherence; the impact of non-adherence including costs and health-related quality of life; methodological issues such as assessing cost-effectiveness; and the use of technological advances to improve adherence. Intended for health service professionals, health, clinical, social, and cognitive psychologists, primary care physicians, pharmacists, and policy-makers, this text is also an excellent resource for graduate courses on health psychology and public health.
