Global recommendations on physical activity for noncommunicable disease prevention can be promoted using partner support strategies among women of Mexican descent and other ethnicities.
DESIGN/METHODS: This systematic review utilized a multifaceted ecological approach by focusing comprehensively on community, individual, and social factors influencing physical activity. PubMed, SAGE Publications, EBSCO, ResearchGate, the Cochrane Library and Google Scholar search engines were used to find research on physical activity, with inclusion criteria of Mexican American women, aged ≥ 18 years, comprising at least 50% of study population sizes.
An initial search of 232 articles with subsequent searches from reference lists led to selection of a mixture of qualitative (3), mixed methods (3), and intervention (1) studies reporting partner support for physical activity as perceived by women.
Primarily, studies have conceptualized physical activity as leisure time activities. Few studies have considered multiple ecological factors in examining influences of physical activity among women. Importantly, how women perceive support for physical activity received from partners has been shown to influence their levels of activity.
Conceptualization of physical activity restricted only to leisure time eliminates other domains that a broader definition of the term encompasses. Future studies are needed to investigate partner support influences on the overall physical activity of Mexican American women within a larger ecological context. Careful attention to partner support for physical activity engagement can help ameliorate and prevent chronic diseases both nationally and around the world.
可以利用伙伴支持策略来促进针对非传染性疾病预防的全球体力活动建议，针对墨西哥裔和其他族裔的女性。
方法/设计：本系统评价采用了多方面的生态方法，全面关注影响体力活动的社区、个人和社会因素。使用 PubMed、SAGE 出版物、EBSCO、ResearchGate、Cochrane 图书馆和 Google Scholar 搜索引擎查找有关体力活动的研究，纳入标准为年龄≥18 岁的墨西哥裔美国女性，研究人群中至少有 50%为女性。
最初搜索了 232 篇文章，随后从参考文献中进行了进一步搜索，最终选择了 3 篇定性研究、3 篇混合方法研究和 1 篇干预研究，这些研究报告了女性感知到的伴侣对体力活动的支持。
将体力活动仅概念化为休闲时间活动，排除了该术语更广泛定义所包含的其他领域。未来的研究需要在更大的生态背景下调查伴侣支持对墨西哥裔美国女性整体体力活动的影响。关注伴侣对体力活动参与的支持可以帮助减轻和预防国内外的慢性疾病。
