The sense of empowerment that comes from good health based on an ability to manage daily challenges is something that needs to be developed and supported from childhood into adulthood. This early empowerment may help to maintain a healthy lifestyle of young people, especially in places which have recently suffered severely from high social tension and stress.
This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the associations of sense of coherence (SOC), physical activity (PA), and the role of gender and age in young adolescents from Kosovo. A total of 1296 adolescents aged 13-16 years from randomly selected schools in the seven major municipalities of Kosovo participated in the study in 2014. SOC was determined with a short version of a SOC-13 questionnaire with its three components: manageability (SOC-Ma), meaningfulness (SOC-Me), and comprehensibility (SOC-Co). The level of PA was determined with a Physical Activity Screening Measure. The associations were examined by a three-way hierarchical regression.
The analyses indicated that young Kosovar boys with strong SOC were characterized by a higher level of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). There was no such effect in girls. Interactional effects were noticed for Kosovar boys for meaningfulness and comprehensibility sub-components of SOC and the level of MVPA. Strong meaningfulness was associated with higher MVPA. For girls, we showed differentiation according to age groups, we noticed that older adolescent girls with strong meaningfulness also had higher MVPA. No significant associations were found in the two other sub-components of SOC.
The association between global SOC, gender and age indicated the interactions with the level of MVPA. People with higher SOC are characterized by a higher level of MVPA, but the relation is gender sensitive. This versatility should be taken into account in planning future PA intervention, specifically in societies with high ethnical and religious strains.
基于应对日常挑战能力的良好健康所带来的掌控感,需要从童年到成年持续培养和支持。这种早期的掌控感有助于年轻人保持健康的生活方式,尤其是在近期遭受严重社会紧张和压力的地区。
这项横断面研究旨在调查科索沃青少年的连贯感(SOC)、身体活动(PA)之间的关联,以及性别和年龄在其中的作用。2014年,来自科索沃七个主要城市随机抽取学校的1296名13 - 16岁青少年参与了该研究。SOC通过SOC - 13问卷的简短版本进行测定,该问卷包含三个组成部分:可管理性(SOC - Ma)、意义性(SOC - Me)和可理解性(SOC - Co)。PA水平通过身体活动筛查量表进行测定。通过三向分层回归分析这些关联。
分析表明,具有强烈SOC的科索沃年轻男性的特点是中度至剧烈身体活动(MVPA)水平较高。在女性中没有这种效果。对于科索沃男性,注意到SOC的意义性和可理解性子成分与MVPA水平之间存在交互作用。强烈的意义性与较高的MVPA相关。对于女性,我们根据年龄组发现了差异,注意到具有强烈意义性的年长青少年女性也有较高的MVPA。在SOC的其他两个子成分中未发现显著关联。
总体SOC、性别和年龄之间的关联表明与MVPA水平存在交互作用。具有较高SOC的人其MVPA水平较高,但这种关系具有性别敏感性。在规划未来的PA干预时应考虑到这种多样性,特别是在具有高度种族和宗教冲突的社会中。
