The primary objective of this study was to investigate the utility of the two-component theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in understanding physical activity intentions and behaviour in rural and small town breast cancer survivors. The secondary objective was to elicit the most common behavioural, normative and control beliefs of rural and small town survivors regarding physical activity. Using a cross-sectional survey design, 524 rural and small town breast cancer survivors completed a mailed survey that assessed physical activity and TPB variables. Physical activity intention explained 12% of the variance in physical activity behaviour (p < 0.01) while the TPB constructs together explained 43% of the variance in physical activity intention (p < 0.01). Unique behavioural, normative and control beliefs were elicited from the sample. The two-component TPB framework appears to be a suitable model to initiate an understanding of physical activity determinants among rural and small town breast cancer survivors. These data can be used in the development and establishment of physical activity behaviour interventions and health promotion materials designed to facilitate physical activity behaviour among rural and small town breast cancer survivors.
本研究的主要目的是调查计划行为理论（TPB）的两成分模型在理解农村和小镇乳腺癌幸存者体力活动意向和行为方面的作用。次要目的是了解农村和小镇幸存者在体力活动方面最常见的行为、规范和控制信念。本研究采用横断面调查设计，对 524 名农村和小镇乳腺癌幸存者进行了邮寄调查，评估了体力活动和 TPB 变量。体力活动意向可以解释体力活动行为 12%的变异（p<0.01），而 TPB 构念可以共同解释体力活动意向 43%的变异（p<0.01）。从样本中得出了独特的行为、规范和控制信念。两成分 TPB 框架似乎是一种合适的模型，可以帮助理解农村和小镇乳腺癌幸存者的体力活动决定因素。这些数据可用于制定和建立体力活动行为干预措施和健康促进材料，以促进农村和小镇乳腺癌幸存者的体力活动行为。
