The technology supported Brain Breaks (BB) videos are a series of structured, web-based physical activity (PA) videos designed to promote learning and health. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of BB videos on exercise self-efficacy (ESE) among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients using the Malay-versioned exercise self-efficacy scale (ESE-M). The study used a double-blind research design and was randomised into two groups: (1) The Technology Supported BB intervention group, and (2) the control group. 70 T2DM patients with a mean age of 57.6 years (SD = 8.5) were recruited from Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. For 4 months, participants in the intervention group were required to undertake PA every day using the BB videos (approximately 10 min). Both groups completed the ESE-M at pre-intervention, the end of the first month, the second month, the third month, and post-intervention. For the data analysis, a mixed factorial analysis of variance was used. The results showed that at the end of the intervention, the two groups' ESE was significantly different (p < 0.001). From pre- to post-intervention, the intervention group's ESE-M mean scores improved significantly. Technology-supported BB videos may be an effective strategy for improving ESE in T2DM patients.
技术支持的课间休息（BB）视频是一系列结构化的基于网络的体育活动（PA）视频，旨在促进学习和健康。本研究的目的是使用马来语版锻炼自我效能感量表（ESE-M）调查 BB 视频对 2 型糖尿病（T2DM）患者锻炼自我效能感（ESE）的影响。该研究采用双盲研究设计，随机分为两组：（1）技术支持的 BB 干预组和（2）对照组。从马来西亚大学医院招募了 70 名平均年龄为 57.6 岁（SD=8.5）的 T2DM 患者。在 4 个月的时间里，干预组的参与者每天都需要使用 BB 视频进行体育锻炼（大约 10 分钟）。两组均在干预前、第一个月末、第二个月末、第三个月末和干预后完成 ESE-M。对于数据分析，使用混合方差分析进行分析。结果表明，干预结束时，两组的 ESE 有显著差异（p<0.001）。从干预前到干预后，干预组的 ESE-M 平均得分显著提高。技术支持的 BB 视频可能是提高 T2DM 患者 ESE 的有效策略。
