Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), this pilot study aimed to test an autonomy-supportive exercise instructing style to promote hedonic (seeking comfort and pleasure) and eudaimonic (seeking to develop the best within one and pursue excellence)orientations, exercise motivation, and psychological well-being of breast cancer survivors. Twenty-four breast cancer survivors were randomized in either autonomy-supportive exercise instructing style (treatment condition) or usual exercise instructing style (control condition). The study consisted of a pre-intervention session followed by 22 exercise sessions and a post-intervention session. Hedonic and eudaimonic orientations, exercise motivation, and psychological well-being (subjective vitality) measured at baseline and post-intervention sessions. As expected, participants in the treatment condition reported greater eudaimonic and hedonic orientations and subjective vitality compared to the participants in the control condition. The results showed no difference in exercise motivation across conditions. We concluded that the SDT-based intervention was successful in helping breast cancer survivors increase hedonic and eudaimonic orientations and subjective vitality. Practical and theoretical implications, along with limitations and future research suggestions are discussed inside.
本试点研究基于自我决定理论（SDT），旨在测试一种支持自主性的运动指导方式，以促进乳腺癌幸存者的享乐主义（寻求舒适和愉悦）和自我实现（寻求发挥自身最大潜能并追求卓越）取向、运动动机以及心理健康。24名乳腺癌幸存者被随机分为支持自主性运动指导方式组（治疗组）或常规运动指导方式组（对照组）。该研究包括一次干预前阶段，随后是22次运动课程以及一次干预后阶段。在基线和干预后阶段测量享乐主义和自我实现取向、运动动机以及心理健康（主观活力）。正如预期的那样，与对照组的参与者相比，治疗组的参与者报告了更高的自我实现和享乐主义取向以及主观活力。结果显示不同组间的运动动机没有差异。我们得出结论，基于自我决定理论的干预成功地帮助乳腺癌幸存者增加了享乐主义和自我实现取向以及主观活力。文中讨论了实际和理论意义，以及局限性和未来研究建议。
