The results of this study showed the importance of autonomous motivation for healthy eating. Autonomous motivation and female gender were the determinants most strongly associated with fruits, vegetables, and berries intake among patients with type 2 diabetes. Other determinants of fruits, vegetables, and berries intake were high education, high social support, high age, and a strong sense of coherence. Autonomous motivation and self-care competence mediated the effect of perceived autonomy support from a physician on fruits, vegetables, and berries intake. Thus, physicians can promote patients' fruits, vegetables, and berries intake by supporting their autonomous motivation and self-care competence. The results are in line with self-determination theory.
本研究结果表明了自主动机对健康饮食的重要性。自主动机和女性性别是2型糖尿病患者中与水果、蔬菜和浆果摄入量最密切相关的决定因素。水果、蔬菜和浆果摄入量的其他决定因素包括高学历、高社会支持、高龄和强烈的连贯感。自主动机和自我护理能力介导了医生感知到的自主支持对水果、蔬菜和浆果摄入量的影响。因此,医生可以通过支持患者的自主动机和自我护理能力来促进患者摄入水果、蔬菜和浆果。这些结果与自我决定理论一致。
