To identify and describe the role of social networks in influencing individual wellness motivation within the context of cardiac rehabilitation.
A naturalistic design was used in the collection and analysis of inductively generated data.
Twenty-four individuals who were participating in an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program. Of the 24 subjects sampled, 17 were men and seven were women. The respondents' ages ranged from 38 to 79 years, with a mean age of 58 years. At the time of the study, informants had been involved in cardiac rehabilitation for an average length of 10 weeks.
Two primary categories were identified that describe informant perception of the role of social networks in motivating health behavior change: enabling and limiting. Subcategories identified were consistent with the general types of support described in social support literature (emotional, feedback, problem solving, instrumental), as well as behaviors found to diminish motivation in cardiovascular health behavior (value conflict, boundary maintenance).
Findings from this study provide a better understanding of the role of social networks in motivating health behavior change within the contest of cardiac rehabilitation.
确定并描述社交网络在心脏康复背景下影响个体健康动机方面的作用。
采用自然主义设计来收集和分析归纳生成的数据。
24名参与门诊心脏康复项目的个体。在抽取的24名受试者中，17名男性，7名女性。受访者年龄在38岁至79岁之间，平均年龄为58岁。在研究时，受试者参与心脏康复的平均时长为10周。
确定了两个主要类别，描述了受试者对社交网络在激励健康行为改变方面作用的看法：促进和限制。确定的子类别与社会支持文献中描述的一般支持类型（情感、反馈、解决问题、工具性）一致，以及在心血管健康行为中发现会削弱动机的行为（价值冲突、边界维持）。
本研究结果有助于更好地理解社交网络在心脏康复背景下激励健康行为改变方面的作用。
