Abstract

Introduction: Promoting physical activity (PA) behavior by education can help people to create and maintain an active lifestyle until old age. This study aimed to design and evaluate a theory-based educational intervention to promote behavior change and PA in middle-aged women. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 73 middle-aged women in Jovein, Iran, from January to November 2018. A researcher-made questionnaire based on the volition phase constructs of the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model was used. Randomly, one health base and one health house were assigned to the intervention group and one health base and one health house were assigned to the control group, and the participants were randomly selected from these centers. Both the groups completed the questionnaires before, immediately after, and 3 months after the educational intervention. The educational intervention was held in three 60-min sessions among three groups of approximately 17 participants. PA maintenance was measured 6 months after the intervention. Results: Immediately and 3 months after the intervention, the mean scores of all the volition phase constructs significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Three and 6 months after the intervention, the number of people who had at least 150 min of moderate PA per week was significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The educational intervention based on the volition phase constructs of the HAPA increased PA intention and facilitated the transition from an inactive lifestyle to an active lifestyle among middle-aged women.
以理论为基础的教育干预促进中年妇女行为改变和体育活动参与:一项随机对照试验
引言:通过教育促进体育活动(PA)行为可以帮助人们创造并保持积极的生活方式,直到老年。本研究旨在设计和评估一种基于理论的教育干预措施,以促进中年妇女的行为改变和PA。方法:本随机对照试验于2018年1月至11月在伊朗乔韦恩对73名中年妇女进行。研究人员根据健康行动过程方法(HAPA)模型的意志阶段结构进行了问卷调查。随机将一个卫生基地和一个卫生院分配给干预组,将一个健康基地和一家卫生院分配到对照组,参与者从这些中心随机选择。两组分别在教育干预前、干预后和干预后3个月完成问卷调查。教育干预分三组进行,每组约17人,每次60分钟。干预后6个月测量PA维持情况。结果:干预后即刻和3个月,干预组所有意志阶段结构的平均得分均显著高于对照组(P<0.05),干预组每周至少有150分钟中度PA的人数明显高于对照组(P<0.05)。
