“…Readiness can be understood as an individual's predisposition to engage in a health behaviour change or the indication of a central motivating force. 21 The transtheoretical model (TTM) suggests that health behaviour change occurs with individuals moving through five stages of readiness: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance. 22–24 Basta et al 22 investigated the distribution of the TTM stages of change in exercise behaviour among PLWH and found approximately 40% of the sample were in the precontemplation, contemplation or preparation stages.…”

Objectives Our aim was to explore readiness to engage in exercise among people living with HIV and multimorbidity. Design We conducted a descriptive qualitative study using face-to-face semistructured interviews with adults living with HIV. Setting We recruited adults (18 years or older) who self-identified as living with HIV and 2 or more additional health-related conditions from a specialty hospital in Toronto, Canada. Participants 14 participants with a median age of 50 years and median number of 9 concurrent health-related conditions participated in the study. The majority of participants were men (64%) with an undetectable viral load (71%). Outcome measures We asked participants to describe their readiness to engage in exercise and explored how contextual factors influenced their readiness. We analysed interview transcripts using thematic analysis. Results We developed a framework to describe readiness to engage in exercise and the interplay of factors and their influence on readiness among adults with HIV and multimorbidity. Readiness was described as a diverse, dynamic and fluctuating spectrum ranging from not thinking about exercise to routinely engaging in daily exercise. Readiness was influenced by the complex and episodic nature of HIV and multimorbidity comprised of physical impairments, mental health challenges and uncertainty from HIV and concurrent health conditions. This key factor created a context within which 4 additional subfactors (social supports, perceptions and beliefs, past experience with exercise, and accessibility) may further hinder or facilitate an individual's position along the spectrum of readiness to exercise. Conclusions Readiness to engage in exercise among people living with HIV is a dynamic and fluctuating construct that may be influenced by the episodic nature of HIV and multimorbidity and 4 subfactors. Strategies to facilitate readiness to exercise should consider the interplay of these factors in order to enhance physical activity and subsequently improve health outcomes of people with HIV and multimorbidity.

“…Lindsay-Reid and Osborn (1980), in a study of Canadian firemen, found only weak support for a relationship between the perceived benefits of exercise and exercise adoption. However, contrary to the HBM they also found that exercise was negatively associated with perceptions of susceptibility to coronary heart disease (CHD) and general illnesses.…”

The impact of exercise on health is potentially significant yet relatively few people exercise. The paper reports two exploratory, community-based, cross-sectional retrospective surveys which investigated the cognitions of aerobic exercisers and non-exercisers. Specifically, an analysis was undertaken of differences between exercisers and non-exercisers, between males and females, and between those under 40 and those over 40 years of age on health beliefs, exercise cognitions, knowledge and attributions. Results from Study 1 (N = 433) showed clear differences between exercise, age and gender groups on health beliefs, knowledge and attributions with exercisers having a more positive cognitive profile. Non-exercisers, contrary to the Health Belief Model, were characterised by perceptions of vulnerability to general and cardiac ill-health. Study 2 (N = 468) supported these results and also showed that older people had more negative beliefs and worries about exercise than younger people. Discussion of the results centres on the need for further research on the causality and prediction of exercise and other health-related behaviours from cognitive factors.

“…Interestingly, some research has found that understanding a disease as multicausal may interfere with a patient’s motivation to partake in positive health behaviors. 24 Multiple causes for a disease can convolute a patient’s understanding and self-efficacy regarding perceived risk and health-promoting action. In a study examining readiness for exercise and perceived cardiovascular heart disease risk, patients who viewed the disease as multicausal were less likely to endorse readiness to engage to exercise.…”

Background: Questions about the etiology of disease can concern patients living with any chronic disease and may impact disease-related adjustment. These causal attributions may be of particular interest when individuals are living with diseases for which etiologies have not been definitively identified, such as scleroderma. This study qualitatively explored patient attributions of causality for scleroderma. Methods: Patients with confirmed diagnoses of scleroderma responded to an open-ended prompt. The cross-sectional sample of scleroderma patients (N = 114) was recruited through registries maintained at the
