“…In the NL-group intention explained a much larger fraction of the variability in HPV vaccination uptake (pseudo-R 2 = 0.54) when compared to the other ethnic groups (pseudo-R 2 of around 0.20). This discrepancy can be attributed to the higher proportion of participants with a positive intention who ultimately did not go for the vaccination (inclined abstainers [ 26 ]) in the SNA-group (11%) and MENA-group (30%) when compared to the NL-group (4%) -- a phenomenon that has been observed previously [ 27 ]. One might think that these discrepancies may have been caused by differential tendencies to respond in a socially desirable way to these questionnaires.…”

A longitudinal study on determinants of HPV vaccination uptake in parents/guardians from different ethnic backgrounds in Amsterdam, the Netherlands

BackgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage in the Netherlands is low (~60%) compared to other childhood vaccinations (>90%), and even lower among ethnic minorities. The aim of this study was to explore the possible impact of ethnicity on the determinants of both HPV vaccination intention and HPV vaccination uptake among parents/guardians having a daughter that is invited for the HPV vaccination.MethodsIn February 2014, parents/guardians living in Amsterdam were invited to complete a questionnaire about social-psychological determinants of their decision making process regarding the HPV vaccination of their daughter and socio-demographic characteristics. This questionnaire was sent approximately one month before the daughter was scheduled to receive her first HPV vaccine dose. Their daughters’ HPV vaccination status was retrieved from the national vaccination database. We distinguished four ethnic groups: Dutch (NL), Surinamese, Netherlands Antillean, and Aruban (SNA), Middle-Eastern and North-African (MENA), and Other. To assess the impact of determinants on both intention and uptake, linear and logistic regression analyses were used respectively. Missing data were imputed using multiple imputation by chained equation.ResultsIn total 1,309 parents/guardians participated (33% participation rate). In all groups we found the mothers’ intention to be the strongest predictor of their daughters’ HPV vaccination uptake. Explained variance of uptake was highest in the NL-group (pseudo-R2:0.56) and lower in the other ethnic groups (pseudo-R2 varied between 0.23 and 0.29). The lower explained variance can be attributed to the relative large proportion of participants with a positive intention that finally did not go for vaccination in the SNA-group (11%) and MENA-group (30%). Explained variance (R2) of intention varied between 0.66 and 0.77 across ethnic groups, and was best explained by the proximal social-psychological determinants. The strength of association of these determinants with both intention and uptake were largely similar across ethnic groups.ConclusionWe conclude that the same determinants should be targeted in the different ethnic groups, although the mode of delivery of the intervention needs to be tailored to the different cultural backgrounds. Further research is needed to explain the observed discrepancy between intention and uptake, especially among parents/guardians in the non-Dutch groups.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12889-017-4091-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Self‐regulation can be seen as a dynamic motivational system of setting goals, developing and enacting strategies to achieve these goals, appraising progress, and revising goals and strategies accordingly (58). Implementation intentions can facilitate effective self‐regulation of goal striving (59), as implementation intentions help people to deal with self‐regulatory problems (60). For the health‐promoting behaviour replacing products low in fibre by fibre‐rich products, for example, this meant the specification of the individual and environmental performance objectives depicted in Table 3.…”

The NHF‐NRG In Balance‐project: the application of Intervention Mapping in the development, implementation and evaluation of weight gain prevention at the worksite

et al. 2006

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Very few examples of theory-driven and systematically developed weight gain prevention interventions for adults have been described in the literature. The present paper systematically describes the development, implementation and evaluation framework of a weight gain prevention programme directed at young adults at the worksite, namely the NHF-NRG In Balance-project. It not only can be used as a guide to systematically develop weight gain prevention interventions, but also gives an overview of the current theoretical and empirical knowledge-base in the field of obesity prevention. The outline of the paper follows the Intervention Mapping protocol, which includes a systematic inventory of important health issues, their risk behaviours and determinants of these risk behaviours, and specification of the proximal objectives of the programme directed at both energy intake and energy expenditure. The objectives are translated into behaviour change methods and strategies, which are combined in a stepwise intervention programme, and used for a detailed evaluation plan (process and effect evaluation). The NHF-NRG In Balance-project combines mass media and individually tailored communications with worksite environmental changes to raise awareness, to motivate and to enable energy balance behaviour changes. A quasi-experimental pre-test-multiple post-test control group design was applied in 12 worksites (>500 employees).

“…Moreover, there is growing evidence that motivational interviewing (Miller and Rollnick 1991), which is consistent with TPB, can facilitate change in specific health behaviours, through tailoring intervention techniques to the individual's readiness for change (e.g., Britt et al 2004). In addition, some researchers have argued that "if-then" plans play an important role in linking intentions to act with particular situations (e.g., Sheeran et al 2006).…”

A Grounded-Theory Study of Mindfulness Practice Following Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

et al. 2011

Theory and research suggest that if participants continue mindfulness practice following mindfulness-based interventions, then they are likely to see greater benefit. However, specific theory about what assists and hinders continued mindfulness practice, following mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), is lacking. Therefore, we aimed to develop a theory of participants' post-MBCT engagement with mindfulness practice. Since this was a new area of investigation with the aim of theory generation, we chose a qualitative design employing grounded theory. The first author interviewed 13 participants who had attended MBCT courses. The researchers conducted analysis and interviews in such a way that findings from the first seven interviews could influence subsequent data collection. As is the norm for grounded theory, analysis was iterative, moving between the data and higher-level concepts. We gradually developed a theory around an emergent core category. The theory suggests that participants undergo a "journey of mindfulness", moving in and out of a "virtuous practice cycle" over time. Various obstacles appear associated with leaving the virtuous cycle and integrating mindfulness into one's lifestyle seems an important component of the cycle. This theory contains aspects not included in previous models and could provide an aid to MBCT course facilitators in their efforts to encourage post-MBCT mindfulness practice.
