Abstract

Children diagnosed with cancer are vulnerable to long-term health issues. Engaging in physical activity (PA) and adopting a healthy diet could mitigate these risks. This study aimed to understand the role of variables from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in adherence to healthy/unhealthy PA and nutrition scenarios. Through convenience sampling, four ad hoc questionnaires measuring variables from the TPB were completed by 96 parents of children diagnosed with cancer in paper format or via a secure online platform to assess attitude, perceived behavioral control (PBC), subjective norms (SN), and intention. We performed a MANOVA and multiple linear regressions. We found an effect of behavior domain (F(3, 4828.66) = 6.467, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.004), and scenario (F(3, 152.86) = 76.495, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.600). Intention was a complete intermediary variable between attitude/SN and healthy nutrition. Attitude, PBC, and intention are promising targets for PA and nutrition behaviors. SN should also be targeted for nutrition behaviors.

解释治疗后儿童癌症患者坚持对比体力活动和营养方案：一项使用计划行为理论变量的横断面研究。

被诊断患有癌症的儿童容易受到长期健康问题的影响。从事体育活动（PA）和采用健康的饮食可以减轻这些风险。本研究旨在了解计划行为理论（TPB）变量在健康/不健康饮食和营养情景依从性中的作用。通过方便抽样，96名确诊癌症儿童的父母通过纸质或安全的在线平台完成了4份测量TPB变量的临时问卷，以评估态度、感知行为控制（PBC）、主观规范（SN）和意向。我们进行了方差分析和多元线性回归。我们发现行为域（F(3,4828.66) = 6.467, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.004）和场景（F(3,152.86) = 76.495, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.600）的影响。意向是态度/SN与健康营养之间的完全中介变量。态度、PBC和意向是PA和营养行为的有希望的目标。营养不良也应该针对营养行为。

期刊介绍： Health Psychology Open (HPO) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access, online-only journal providing rapid publication. HPO is dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research in health psychology from around the world. HPO seeks to provide a platform for both traditional empirical analyses and more qualitative and/or critically oriented approaches to health psychology. All areas of health psychology are covered, but these topics are of particular interest: Clinical health psychology Critical health psychology Community health psychology Health psychology practice Health psychology through a social, cultural or regional lens The journal particularly favours papers that focus on health psychology in practice, including submissions concerning community and/or clinical applications and interventions. Review articles are also welcomed. There is no fixed limit to the length of manuscripts, which is normally strictly limited in other journals, for example HPO’s sister journal, Journal of Health Psychology (JHP). Studies published in this journal are required to obtain ethical approval from an Institutional Review Board. Such approval must include informed, signed consent by all research participants. Any manuscript not containing an explicit statement concerning ethical approval and informed consent will not be considered.
