Purpose: Promoting the labour integration of people with functional diversity is a key element to achieve their social inclusion. This meta-analysis aims to examine the effectiveness of experimental programs in developing employable skills for people with disabilities. Methods: Literature searches up to June 2019 were conducted in four databases (Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO and ERIC). Studies that met the following criteria were selected: (1) The program should develop employable skills; (2) the participants should be people with functional diversity; (3) the study should have a design with an experimental group and a control group as well as pretest and posttest measurements; (4) the …
Dzīves mērķu, pašefektivitātes saistība ar subjektīvās labklājības rādītājiem sievietēm
2020
Bakalaura darba pētījuma mērķis ir izprast dzīves mērķu pašefektivitātes saistību ar subjektīvās labklājības rādītājiem sievietēm. Pētot konstruktu teorētisko bāzi tika izvirzīts, ka iekšējā satura dzīves mērķiem ir saistība ar subjektīvo labklājību, un balstoties uz personīgo vērtību izvirzītajiem dzīves mērķiem un indivīda pašefektivitātes līmeni, izvirzīto mērķu sasniegšana ietekmē subjektīvās labklājības līmeni. Pētījuma respondentu izlasi veido 60 sievietes vecuma grupā no 20-50 gadiem , kuru vidējais vecums ir 33,83 gadi. Dzīves mērķu, pašefektivitātes un subjektīvās labklājības noteikšanai tika pielietotas Dzīves mērķu skala (Aspirations Index; Kasser & Ryan, 1996), Latvijā aptauju a…
Changes in physical activity domains during the transition out of high school: Psychosocial and environmental correlates
2015
Background:This study examined changes in multiple physical activity domains during the transition out of high school and psychosocial and environmental determinants of these changes.Methods:A 1-year prospective study was designed. The baseline sample was composed of 244 last-year high school students (58.6% female) from Valencia, Spain. Follow-up rate was 46%. Physical activity and potential determinants were measured by the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire and other evaluated scales in 2 waves.Results:Total physical activity and active commuting (AC) decreased, respectively, by 21% and 36%, only in males. At time 1, access to car/motorbike (inverse), planning/psychosocial barriers (…
Organisational and individual resources as antecedents of older nursing professionals’ organisational commitment : Investigating the mediating effect…
2021
Aim and objectives To investigate how organisational and individual resources are linked to older (50+) nursing professionals’ organisational commitment, and to examine the possible mediating role of the active use of selection, optimisation and compensation (SOC) strategies. Background Many healthcare organisations need to find ways to retain their older nursing professionals due to nursing shortage. Design To test a set of hypotheses, cross-sectional survey data (n = 396) were used. Data were analysed using correlation analysis and partial least-squares structural equation modelling. STROBE Statement for cross-sectional studies has been followed in this study. Results The results exhibite…
Predicting physical activity change in cancer survivors: an application of the Health Action Process Approach.
2022
Purpose Previous research has not examined the utility of the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) to predict physical activity (PA) change in cancer survivors. The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy of a HAPA-based model in predicting temporal change in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in cancer survivors. Methods Participants enrolled in the Wearable Activity Technology and Action Planning (WATAAP) trial completed validated questionnaires (n = 64) to assess HAPA constructs (action and maintenance self-efficacy, outcome expectancies, action planning, risk perceptions, and intention) and wore an ActiGraph to measure PA at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks later. D…
Digital Coaching among University Students with Low Levels of Physical Activity: A Quantitative Intervention Study on Exercise Self-efficacy
2019
University aged people have been found to be at a high risk of disengagement of physical activity. They also belong to a generation where technology is strongly integrated into most parts of their lives. Therefore, using technology also in physical activity promotion has potential. This exploratory study investigates the perceived effects of a sport and wellness technology digital coach among physically inactive university students during a 10-week intervention. The perspective for the research came from exercise psychology focusing on the effects of the use of a digital coach on self-efficacy related to physical activity and exercising. The results indicate that a digital coach can increas…
A Group Intervention to Promote Resilience in Nursing Professionals: A Randomised Controlled Trial
2022
In this study, a new group intervention program to foster resilience in nursing professionals was tested for efficacy. In total, 72 nurses were recruited and randomised to either an intervention condition or to a wait list control condition. The study had a pre-test, post-test, follow-up design. The eight-week program targeted six resilience factors: cognitive flexibility, coping, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-care, and mindfulness. Compared to the control group, the intervention group reported a significant improvement in the primary outcome mental health (measured with the General Health Questionnaire) from pre-test (M = 20.79; SD = 9.85) to post-test (M = 15.81; SD = 7.13) with an est…
Total Pain and Illness Acceptance in Pelvic Cancer Patients: Exploring Self-Efficacy and Stress in a Moderated Mediation Model.
2022
Cancer patients experience pain not only in its physical dimension, but also in a broader context that includes psychological, social, and spiritual aspects due to a higher level of anxiety and stress. The present prospective, longitudinal study examined the relationship between total pain and illness acceptance among pelvic cancer patients, taking into consideration the moderated mediation effects of self-efficacy and stress. The study involved a sample of pelvic cancer patients receiving radiotherapy treatment. Assessments were completed at T1 (before radiotherapy), T2 (after 3–4 weeks), and T3 (after radiotherapy) to assess the psychosocial dynamics of illness acceptance (N = 267). The m…
Sydänkuntoutujien näkemyksiä minäpystyvyydestä
2018
Minäpystyvyys on Albert Banduran kehittämä käsite, joka on osa sosio-kognitiivista teoriaa. Tämä pro gradu -tutkielma tutkielma on osa Jyväskylän yliopiston, Kelan sekä Kuntoutus Peurungan yhteistä tutkimushanketta (2015-2019). Tässä tutkimuksessa on tarkoitus selvittää, millaisia näkemyksiä sydänkuntoutujilla on minäpystyvyydestä etäkuntoutuksen alussa. Tutkimuksen aineistona oli seitsemän ryhmähaastattelua, tutkittavina oli yhteensä 65 sydänkuntoutujaa. Aineistona oli 396 min haastattelua, joista kertyi 283 A4 sivua litteroitua tekstiä. Aineisto analysoitiin laadullisin menetelmin sisällönanalyysillä. Apuna aineiston luokittelussa käytettiin ATLAS.ti sisällönanalyysiohjelmaa. Sisällönanal…
