“…Experience of controlling blood sugar, lipids and blood pressure resulted in to be encouraged to continue these behaviors. Shabita (28) reported that, the feeling of pleasure of a physical activity is a supportive factor and study of Parschau (35) showed that, participants' perceptions of positive experience were associated with their subsequent self-efficacy fostering physical activity. In this regard, Shabita (28) and Sjostrom (29) mentioned that, the frequent watching of individuals' exercises is a supportive factor for doing physical activity.…”

Background:Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death in the world. In most analyses of health problems, environment plays a significant and modifiable role in causing the problem either directly or indirectly through behavior.Objectives:This study aims to understand the patients and healthcare providers’ experiences about the environmental determinants of CVD risk factors based on the Precede Model.Patients and Methods:This qualitative study conducted over six months in 2012 at Diabetes Units of Health Centers associated with Alborz University of Medical Sciences and Health Services which is located in Karaj, Iran. The data were collected based on individual semi-structured interviews with 50 patients and 12 healthcare providers. Data analysis was performed simultaneous with data collection using the content analysis directed method.Results:Lack of behaviors like stress control, healthy eating and physical activity were the roots of the risk factors for CVD. The environmental factor is one of the barriers for conducting these behaviors. The environmental barriers included of structural environment including “availability and accessibility of health resources”, “new skills”, and “law and policies” which are located in enabling category and social environment including “social support”, “motivation to comply” and “consequences of behavior” which are located in reinforcing category. The most barriers to performing health behaviors were often structural.Conclusions:The environmental factors were barriers for doing healthy behaviors. These factors need to be considered to design health promotion interventions. Policymakers should not only focus on patients’ education but also should provide specific facilities to enhance economic, social and cultural status.

“…In the general population, there is strong evidence that interventions utilizing these core selfregulation techniques lead to larger short-term increases in PA (initiation) than interventions not using such techniques (10). Additional self-regulation techniques, such as focusing attention on goal pursuit and staying positive despite setbacks, have been hypothesized to contribute to the maintenance of behavioral change (9,11). Despite this, research demonstrating that interventions actually increase patients' use of self-regulation skills is scarce, and research demonstrating that this increased use of selfregulation skills indeed explains changes in PA behavior is almost nonexistent (12).…”

Objective. Regular physical activity (PA) benefits patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), particularly when maintained over time. Research in this area has largely focused on factors associated with initiating PA, while factors contributing to PA maintenance, particularly after lifestyle interventions, have received less attention. This study examined whether higher levels of autonomous motivation, self-efficacy for PA, and greater use of self-regulation skills mediated PA initiation and maintenance 6 months after a theory-based motivational interviewing and self-regulation coaching intervention. Methods. Seventy-eight individuals with RA were randomized to receive either a patient-education session (control group), or the patient-education session plus 1 motivational interview and 2 self-regulation coaching sessions (treatment group). Mediation analyses examined the effects of this intervention on PA initiation and maintenance through the intermediate variables autonomous motivation, self-efficacy for PA, and use of self-regulation skills. Analyses were controlled for age, sex, and previous levels of PA. Results. The treatment group reported significantly higher autonomous motivation and greater use of self-regulation skills than controls at posttreatment. Increases in PA from baseline to posttreatment were not mediated by any intermediate variables. However, maintenance of PA from posttreatment to followup (6 months later) was mediated by greater autonomous motivation and use of self-regulation skills. Conclusion. Greater autonomous motivation and use of self-regulation skills predict maintenance of PA following a motivational interviewing and self-regulation coaching intervention. In promoting PA among patients with RA, supporting patient autonomy and teaching self-regulation skills, which focus attention on achieving PA goals, may improve long-term maintenance of PA.

“…Nonetheless, caution regarding the behavioral outcome is warranted, as the responses indicate intention to continue attending, rather than providing objective evidence showing that attendance did continue. Nonetheless, when coupled with participants' affective responses, the results could suggest that this intention will lead to exercise adherence; for example, Parschau et al (2013) found that intentions to continue with physical activity were more likely to be translated into action when the physical activity was perceived to be a positive experience.…”

Exercise classes are a popular form of physical activity. A greater understanding of the individual difference factors that might influence the outcomes of such classes could help to minimize the high dropout rates associated with exercise. The study explored the effects of dominant attentional style and degree of self-determination on affective, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes following structured exercise classes. Data from 417 female participants revealed that those with a dominant attentional style for association (Associators) reported significantly (P < 0.05) more positive affective, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes than did Dissociators, and were more self-determined. Highly self-determined individuals reported the most positive outcomes. Almost 29% of the variance in participants' affective valence could be explained by Dissociators' behavioral regulations. Results lend support to the notion that attentional style is associated with motivation. The combination of attentional style and degree of self-determination appear to be noteworthy individual difference factors that influence responses to exercise classes and could thus have a bearing on long-term exercise adherence.
