Regular physical activity during preconception period has beneficial effects on the health of women during conception and the identification of factors associated with it is an effective factor for improving the behavior. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the physical activity and health belief model (HBM) constructs (perceived susceptibility/severity, barriers, and self-efficacy) as intrapersonal factors among women undergoing preconception care.
In this cross-sectional study, 110 women who were undergoing preconception care were carried out. Moreover, health belief constructs and attitude toward physical activity were assessed through the use of researcher-made questionnaire. In addition, the duration of physical activity with moderate/vigorous intensity was evaluated utilizing a long form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
The results showed that although there was a relationship between the all health belief constructs and attitude toward physical activity and the duration of leisure physical activities carried out during ( < 0.05), but using the linear regression test showed that only perceived barriers, independent from other variables, had a significant inverse correlation with this type of activities (β = -0.27, = 0.02).
The findings of this study showed that among the constructs of theHBM, perceived barriers are the most important predictor of physical activity in women during the preconception period and emphasize the need to design possible means to promote physical activity to remove barriers to effective physical activity.
孕前定期进行体育活动对孕期女性的健康有益，识别与之相关的因素是改善行为的有效因素。因此，本研究旨在评估体育活动与健康信念模型（HBM）构建因素（感知易感性/严重性、障碍和自我效能）之间的关系，这些因素是接受孕前护理的女性的个体内部因素。
在这项横断面研究中，对110名接受孕前护理的女性进行了研究。此外，通过使用研究者自制的问卷来评估健康信念构建因素和对体育活动的态度。另外，利用国际体育活动问卷的长表来评估中等/剧烈强度体育活动的时长。
结果表明，虽然所有健康信念构建因素与对体育活动的态度以及在此期间进行的休闲体育活动时长之间存在关联（P<0.05），但通过线性回归检验表明，仅感知障碍独立于其他变量，与这类活动存在显著负相关（β=-0.27，P=0.02）。
本研究结果表明，在健康信念模型的构建因素中，感知障碍是孕前女性体育活动的最重要预测因素，并强调需要设计可能的方法来促进体育活动，以消除有效体育活动的障碍。
