“…Best predictor. PI effectively promotes the generation of PB in health behaviors, which is consistent with previous findings in the intention-behavior relationship that reasonable intentions may provide better behavior prediction (100)(101)(102). This provides strong evidence for the decisive impact of PI on PB.…”

BackgroundHealth screenings are promoted worldwide as they help detect and prevent overall health issues. Despite expanding coverage, the participation rate among the retired population has not significantly increased. Given the special role of health screenings in promoting health and healthy aging, understanding the behavioral intentions, and influencing factors of retirees’ voluntary participation in health screenings is crucial. This study aims to explore the participation intentions in health screenings among the Chinese retired population by integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Self-Efficacy (SE).MethodsThis study used a cross-sectional design to conduct an online questionnaire among 311 retirees in 2023. The questionnaire, tailored for the Chinese retired population, combines the TPB theory and Self-Efficacy theory, including demographic structure, the basic structure of TPB, and SE.ResultsA Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach was used to identify factors related to health screening behaviors. Of the respondents, 311 completed the survey (88.9% response rate). The most crucial determinant of health examination behavior was behavioral intention, with a correlation score of (1.524, p < 0.001). Significant correlates of behavioral intention included Subjective Norms (SN) and Self-Efficacy (SE), followed by Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) and Attitude (AT), with correlation scores of (0.401, p < 0.001), (0.339, p < 0.001), (0.082, p < 0.001), and (0.060, p < 0.05), respectively.ConclusionThis study provides insights for enhancing the willingness and behavior of retirees to participate in health screenings.

“…The finding of increased self-efficacy has important implications, as this is considered a key component to behavior change and also to self-management across a wide spectrum of conditions including sedentariness [ 25 ], hypertension [ 26 ], and diabetes [ 27 ]. It has been similarly studied as a potential indicator of healthy behavior changes in other gardening interventions [ 28 ].…”

Introduction Gardening is a healthy activity that promotes nutrition and satisfaction, with positive impacts on patients with chronic diseases, including patients with obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Hospital-based gardening programs may provide opportunities to introduce patients to gardening. However, few studies have included participant experience as a metric of evaluation. The objective of this study was to explore participant experience in a hospital-based gardening intervention designed for individuals with metabolic syndrome. Methods This study was a qualitative evaluation of free text responses from four questions included in post-participation questionnaires from 59 community-dwelling adults who participated in a hospital-based garden program located at the University of Vermont Medical Center in 2020 and 2021. Eligible participants included a convenience sample of novice gardeners with self-reported hypertension, diabetes, pre-diabetes, or overweight/obesity. We used an interpretative phenomenological approach to analyze the questionnaire data. The phenomenological cycle for each of the questions included: 1) reading and re-reading participant responses, 2) exploratory noting, 3) constructing experimental statements, 4) searching for connections across statements, and 5) naming the themes. This process also involved working with individual question-level themes to develop group themes across questions. Results This dataset was one of positivity about gardening, new information gleaned, and the quality of instruction. Several themes and codes emerged: program implementation (new knowledge, new skills, new connections, instructor ability, climate), self-efficacy (confidence, vicarious experience, mastery experience, verbal persuasion), and future change (behavior change, future issues/problem-solving, passing it on). Conclusion This study supports analyzing participant experience as part of hospital-based gardening interventions. We found positivity around program implementation, increased self-efficacy, and intentions to change behavior in ways that support healthy lifestyles.

“…The etymology of the word 'healing' suggests 'building a whole' or 'unifying' a community, and group participation has also been reported to be effective in emotional exchanges with humans (31,32). It has also been reported that these backgrounds can be used as social support to improve health through self-efficacy and self-care (33)(34)(35). Building a relationship of trust between the staff involved in health education and the participants may increase the rate of exercise continuation, leading to improved health and quality of life.…”

Background: Good health is a pivotal aspect of daily life that contributes to social development. Physical activity is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle. Health promotion enables individuals to increase their control and improve their health, and health programs promote physical activity to improve health. Objectives: This study aims to introduce the Japanese health education guidelines according to the requirements of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001-certified health education system in the Cebu region of the Philippines and aims to improve the health of the participants. Methods: A 12-month health program was implemented in Cebu City, and 43 participants were recruited, aged 35.0 ± 9.9 years (mean ± SD), including 22 men aged 35.6 ± 7.9 years and 21 women aged 34.3 ± 7.9 years. The effects of the health program and physical activity were assessed using brain function tests and blood chemistry profiles before and after the program. Results: The average number of total daily steps taken by the 43 participants was 6,052. The weight and eyes-open single-leg stance for balance significantly improved. However, no significant differences were observed in the other physical fitness parameters, blood pressure, and brain function values. Conclusions: This health education is characterized by a mechanism that enables the setting of the next goal based on these evaluations and how to improve health. The participants have to be motivated to aim for a 7,000 daily step goal. Therefore, the participants and the staff involved in health education should build a relationship of trust and a deep bond, and the exercise continuation rate may increase, leading to a higher quality of life.
