Girls on the Move Program to Increase Physical Activity Participation

Background: Because physical inactivity poses serious health risks, interventions are urgently needed to reverse the increasingly sedentary lifestyles of adolescent girls. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of Girls on the Move, an individually tailored computerized physical activity (PA) program plus nurse counseling intervention, in increasing PA. Methods: A pretest-posttest control group design was used with 77 racially diverse sedentary girls in Grades 6, 7, and 8 from two middle schools. Each of the instructional grades was randomly assigned to either an intervention or control condition. After completing computerized questionnaires, each girl in the control group received a handout listing the PA recommendations. To encourage PA, each girl in the intervention group received computerized, individually tailored feedback messages based on her responses to the questionnaires, individual counseling from the school\u27s pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP), and telephone calls and mailings from a trained research assistant. At 12 weeks, girls in both groups responded to the questionnaires. Results: No differences in self-reported PA emerged between the intervention and control groups at Weeks 1 (baseline) and 12 (postintervention). Repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant interaction between group and time for social support for PA, F(1, 69) = 5.73, p = .019, indicating that the intervention group had significantly greater social support across time than did the control group. From baseline to postintervention, social support increased for the intervention group but decreased for the control group. Discussion: Reasons for the lack of significant differences between the groups on the PA measures were cited. Important information that could inform subsequent studies that test interventions to increase youth PA was acquired from conducting this study. Future efforts to increase PA participation might include this approach for enhancing social support for PA

Physical Activity Research in Nursing

Purpose: To present exemplars of physical activity research in nursing, illustrate the importance of physical activity research across the lifespan, and recommend directions for theory development and research. Methods: Studies of physical activity and exercise currently being conducted by nurse investigators were reported and critiqued by attendees of the Midwest Nursing Research Society 2000 Preconference session entitled “Promoting Physical Activity Among Diverse Groups Across the Health Continuum.” Physical activity and exercise literature during the past decade was reviewed. Databases searched included Medline, CINAHL, Wilson, and ERIC. Findings: Investigators have emphasized the need to evaluate the effects of theory-based physical activity interventions designed to alter key correlates of physical activity identified through descriptive research. Conclusions: Regular physical activity is necessary for health promotion and disease prevention for all populations. Continued research in this important area of health behavior is critical to identify the most effective interventions to increase physical activity among diverse populations

Health Promotion Model - Instruments to Measure HPM Behavioral Determinants : Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale [EBBS] (Adult Version)

Sample instruments that have been used in studies to test the Health Promotion Model are presented here. These instruments focus on physical activity, but can serve as exemplars for the development of instruments focused on other health behaviors. The EBBS instrument, information about the instrument, conditions of use, and scoring instructions are presented here. Both an English and Spanish version of the EBBS is available. This instrument has been developed for use with adults.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/85354/1/EBBS-Information_and_Permission_Letter.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/85354/2/EBBS-English_Version.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/85354/3/EBBS-Spanish_Version.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/85354/8/license_rdf.rd

Health Promotion Model - Instruments to Measure HPM Behavioral Determinants : Planning for Exercise [Commitment] (Adolescent Version)

Sample instruments that have been used in studies to test the Health Promotion Model are presented here. These instruments focus on physical activity, but can serve as exemplars for the development of instruments focused on other health behaviors. Planning to be active optimizes the chances of engaging in physical activity. This instrument assesses the extent to which adolescents engage in planning to be active. Scoring instructions are provided.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/85347/1/Planning_for_Exercise_Instrument-Commitment-Adolescent_Version.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/85347/2/Planning_for_Exercise_Scoring-Commitment-Adolescent_Version.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/85347/6/license_rdf.rd
