In recent decades, the scientific evidence has demonstrated that regular physical activity (PA) provides abundant physiological and psychological benefits in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, most persons with MS are physically inactive. This study examined determinants of PA based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) among women with MS.
Participants (178)-completed measures included Godin Leisure-Time Exercise and TPB questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and hierarchical linear regression were analyzed using IBM SPSS.
Most participants were homemaker and the mean age was 34.2 years. The mean of PA was 11.6 ± 7.9 and only 10% of participants had sufficient amount of PA. The result of hierarchical linear regression indicated that attitude (β = 0.27; < 0.05), subjective norm (β = 0.18; < 0.05), and perceived behavioral control (β = 0.44; < 0.05) explained 58% variance in exercise intention. Intention (β = 0.20; < 0.05) and other variables explained 18% variance in PA.
Our findings indicate that constructs of TPB could be used in behavioral interventions by health-care providers for increasing PA among women with MS.
近几十年来，科学证据表明，规律的体育活动（PA）对多发性硬化症（MS）患者具有诸多生理和心理益处。然而，大多数MS患者缺乏体育活动。本研究基于计划行为理论（TPB）探讨了MS女性患者体育活动的决定因素。
178名参与者完成的测量指标包括戈丁休闲时间锻炼问卷和TPB问卷。使用IBM SPSS进行描述性统计和分层线性回归分析。
大多数参与者为家庭主妇，平均年龄为34.2岁。体育活动的平均值为11.6±7.9，只有10%的参与者有足够的体育活动量。分层线性回归结果表明，态度（β = 0.27；P < 0.05）、主观规范（β = 0.18；P < 0.05）和感知行为控制（β = 0.44；P < 0.05）解释了锻炼意愿中58%的方差。意愿（β = 0.20；P < 0.05）和其他变量解释了体育活动中18%的方差。
我们的研究结果表明，TPB的构成要素可被医疗保健提供者用于行为干预，以增加MS女性患者的体育活动量。
