“…We have found that methods such as knowledge promotion, modeling, advocacy, regulation, and policy are good ways to promote PA in the workplace. In other studies aimed at promoting PA, techniques, and methods such as goal setting, verbal persuasion and practice with feedback (14,15), modeling (14,15,34), reinforcement, public commitment, and self-monitoring (14) use of images (34), creating new social media links, feedback, information matching, social network mobilization and empowerment (15) facilitation (15,35), environmental marketing and awareness-raising (34), benefits and barriers, social support, problem-solving (36) were used. It is important to pay attention to the existing parameters for the effectiveness of the methods and turn them into practical applications because without considering such conditions, their effectiveness will be affected.…”

Background and aims:The changing nature of work in today's world has caused a large number of people to be engaged in sedentary jobs. In such cases, lack of physical activity (PA) can lead to non-communicable diseases and increase morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to provide a step-by-step development, implementation and evaluation of a PA promotion program in the workplace using an intervention mapping (IM) approach.Methods: In the present study, six stages of IM were used to promote PA in employees which include semi-structured qualitative study and rapid review of the literature along with a selection of theoretical methods and practical applications, program design, program implementation planning, and evaluation planning. Participants took part in the program activities completely voluntarily. Results:In the stage of qualitative study and review of the literature, the factors affecting physical activity at individual and environmental levels were determined. Also, the goals of change were based on the consequences of the program, the draft performance goals were set based on theories of behavior change. Moreover, the workplace-based intervention was performed over three months with a combination of structural exercises, providing a workplace for employees' PA and various media use. Finally, the program was evaluated by forming an executive team and providing them with sufficient training. Conclusion:Interventional mapping provides a systematic framework for developing workplace PA interventions. The mapping process is timeconsuming but may be performed in locations larger if possible and effective.

BACKGROUND: The health-promoting lifestyle by empowering individuals will increase control over their health, improve quality of life, and prevent diseases. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of the educational intervention based on the intervention mapping approach on health-promoting lifestyle in Iranian college students. METHODS: This study is a quasi-experimental control study that was conducted in two groups of 65 students of Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2018–2019. The data were collected using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Standard Profile II questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire based on the mapping approach, whose validity and reliability were confirmed. The educational intervention was designed according to the pretest results, including five training sessions and performed for the intervention group. The two groups were evaluated with the same questionnaires 1 month and 3 months later, and the data were analyzed using independent t -test, Spearman, ANCOVA, ANOVA test, and covariance. Results: Before the intervention, no significant difference was observed between the mean scores of health-promoting behaviors in the two groups, but after the intervention, the mean scores of attitude, subjective norms, enabling factors, and perceived self-efficacy and mean scores of health-promoting lifestyle and its dimensions increased significantly in the intervention group ( P < 0.001) compared to the control group. Conclusion: The educational intervention is effective in improving behaviors related to health-promoting lifestyle and its dimensions. Therefore, performing educational interventions are suggested to adopt and adhere to behaviors related to health-promoting lifestyle by utilizing and reinforcing perceived self-efficacy, subjective norms, enabling factors, and attitudinal change.

Background: The level of physical activity (PA) among middle-aged Iranians is less than optimal. This study will be carried out to analyze and recommend policy options to promote PA among urban middle-aged adults in Tabriz, one of the metropolitan cities in Iran. Methods: This multi-method policy analysis study will include the following four phases: First, a qualitative content analysis to explore the reasons for lack of PA. Second, a comparative study of successful PA programs and policies in Iran and other similar developing countries. Third, a qualitative thematic analysis based on the policy triangle to analyses PA promotion policies using the key informants’ views. Fourth, analysis and prioritizing the policy options suggested by a panel of experts using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) techniques. Conclusions: Prospective policy analysis promises the systematic process of selecting potentially effective policy options to promote PA in metropolitan settings of developing countries. The results of this study will provide a comprehensive vision of the most appropriate policy options based on the criteria of acceptability, effectiveness, and feasibility for addressing PA at the local and national levels. Considerations on the challenges of PA policymaking cycle and the barriers to the implementation of current policies in the Iranian context will also be identified.
