This book was released on 2003 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to examine the influence that a stage-matched, email mediated, lifestyle activity program had on stages of change and exercise self-efficacy. The eighteen participants were male (n = 4) and female (n = 14) exercisers who completed a lifestyle activity program that was administered via email to their work place for an eight-week period. Participants were assessed for stages of change and exercise self-efficacy at the beginning and completion of the study. A Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test showed a significant increase (p = .04) in stage of change but not for self-efficacy (p = .24). The results seem to indicate that a stage-matched, email mediated intervention may be a valid tool for exercise behavior change"--Document.

Download or read book Applied Exercise Psychology written by Selen Razon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Exercise Psychology emphasizes the application of evidence-based knowledge drawn from the fields of exercise psychology, health psychology, clinical and counseling psychology, and exercise physiology for physical activity behavior change. The book provides readers with: theoretical bases for understanding and promoting physical activity behavior; interventions to use for facilitating physical activity behavior change and the tools for measuring the effectiveness of these interventions; cross-cultural considerations for practitioners to ensure multicultural competency; considerations to guide best practices with special populations (e.g., persons with medical conditions and persons with mental health conditions); overall applied implications and future directions. The collection builds a bridge between up-to-date research findings, relevant field experiences, and applied implications. This is the first book to cover such breadth of topics in applied exercise psychology, with chapters bringing often overlooked issues to the attention of practitioners to promote not only evidence-based practice but also responsible ethics and referral.

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.

Download or read book Improving Patient Treatment Adherence written by Hayden Bosworth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-03 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its direct effect on a patient’s health, the literature on treatment adherence does not yet include a summary of proven methods for identifying and addressing patient non-adherence. Improving Patient Treatment Adherence Across Multiple Behaviors: A Clinician's Guide differs significantly from many treatment adherence books on the market by focusing on clinicians and the practical tactics they need to improve patient adherence. The book is orgnaized by behavior and special issues as opposed to other texts, which look at treatment adherence as a theoretical concept. Each chapter provides a summary of existing literature regarding the impact of patient non-adherence, including costs, clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life, as well as a review of patient factors related to treatment adherence across behaviors, diseases, and special populations. A discussion of methods for improving treatment adherence takes a look at both proven methods and new technological advances in the field. Each chapter includes a table listing 3-5 key bullets that a clinician could use to address treatment adherence. Actual questions and scoring algorithms for widely used measures of treatment adherence make this book a useful guide for practicing clinicans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The obesity epidemic is one of the most serious public health threats confronting the nation and the world. The majority of overweight individuals want to lose weight, but the overall success of self-administered diets and commercial weight loss programs is very poor. Scientific findings suggest that the problem boils down to adherence. The dietary and physical activity recommendations that weight loss programs promote are effective; however, people have difficulty initiating and maintaining changes. Effective Weight Loss presents 25 detailed sessions of an empirically supported, cognitive-behavioral treatment package called Acceptance-Based Behavioral Treatment (ABT). The foundation of this approach is comprised of the nutritional, physical activity, and behavioral components of the most successful, gold-standard behavioral weight loss programs. These components are synthesized with acceptance, willingness, behavioral commitment, motivation, and relapse prevention strategies drawn from a range of therapies. ABT is based on the idea that specialized self-control skills are necessary for weight control, given our innate desire to consume delicious foods and to conserve energy by avoiding physical activity. These self-control skills revolve around a willingness to choose behaviors that may be perceived as uncomfortable, for the sake of a more valuable objective. The Clinician Guide is geared towards helping administer treatment, and the companion Workbook provides summaries of session content, exercises, worksheets, handouts, and assignments for patients and clients receiving the treatment. The books will appeal to psychologists, primary care physicians, nutritionists, dieticians, and other clinicians who counsel the overweight.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to compare physical activity in a group of women who received an e-mail prompting intervention (EMP) vs. individuals in a waitlist control group (WLC) following a behavioral weight loss intervention. Twenty seven women participated in a 12-week EMP or WLC condition (age = 42.5 ± 9.1 yrs vs. 42.5 ± 8.8 yrs; BMI = 26.2 ± 2.7 vs. 27.9 ± 3.6 kg/m 2, respectively). The EMP (n = 13) intervention involved bi-weekly e-mail contact which included a motivational e-mail prompt and weekly exercise log request. Primary outcomes included self-reported physical activity and body weight, assessed 12 and 24 post intervention. The intervention did not result in an increase in physical activity in the EMP compared to WLC group, nor did an increase in physical activity occur from week 12 to 24. No differences in weight change between groups were revealed. Both groups lost additional weight over the 12 week follow-up intervention.
