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…

Do Loneliness and Social Isolation Predict Mortality Because of Hazardous Drinking?

2021

Introduction: Subjective feelings of loneliness and objective social isolation have been consistently connected with ill-health and mortality, though little work has empirically examined the mechanisms explaining the adverse effects. This study examines whether alcohol consumption explains the connection of loneliness and social isolation on mortality in different age and gender groups. Methods: The sample comprised a representative 1994 Finnish sample (n = 8,650) matched with 22-year follow-up mortality data. A multigroup path analysis with discrete survival time analyses was conducted. Results: There were unique differences in the associations between loneliness, social isolation, alcoho…

Persoonallisuuden ja käden puristusvoiman yhteys keski-iässä

2015

Tiia Kekäläinen (2015). Persoonallisuuden ja käden puristusvoiman yhteys keski-iässä. Terveystieteiden laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, gerontologian ja kansanterveyden pro gradu -tutkielma, 41 s. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, onko persoonallisuuden ja käden puristusvoiman välillä yhteyksiä keski-ikäisillä naisilla ja miehillä. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin, välittävätkö sosioekonominen asema tai terveyskäyttäytyminen ja koettu terveys näitä yhteyksiä. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin Lapsesta aikuiseksi –pitkittäistutkimuksen 50-vuotiailta (syntyneet 1959) tutkittavilta vuonna 2009 kerättyä aineistoa. Tuolloin tutkimukseen osallistui 127 naista ja 144 miestä, eli yhteensä 271 tutkittavaa. Tu…

Tukea tarvitsevien lasten vapaa-ajan liikunta-aktiivisuus, ohjattu liikunnan harrastaminen ja liikunnan esteet

2020

Lasten ja nuorten terveyskäyttäytymistä on tutkittu koululaisilta jo vuosikymmeniä laajoissa kansallisissa kyselytutkimuksissa, mutta erityiskoulussa tai -luokalla opiskelleet oppilaat ovat jääneet näiden tutkimusten ulkopuolelle. Kyselyt ovat rajoittuneet yleisopetuksessa oleviin oppilaisiin, joista osa on ollut tukea tarvitsevia oppilaita. TUTKA-hankkeen (Vammaisten ja pitkäaikaissairaiden koululaisten osallistuminen toimintakykyä ja liikuntakäyttäytymistä mittaaviin seurantatutkimuksiin, 2017–2018) osatavoitteena, sekä tämän artikkelin tarkoituksena, oli selvittää erityiskouluissa ja perusopetuksen erityisluokilla opiskelevien lasten ja nuorten vapaa-ajan liikunta-aktiivisuutta, ohjatun …

Developing and testing a discrete event simulation model to evaluate budget impacts of diabetes prevention programs

2020

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the most rapidly increasing non-communicable diseases worldwide. Lifestyle interventions are effective in preventing T2D but also resource intensive. This study evaluated with discrete event simulation (DES) the relative budget impacts of three hypothetical diabetes prevention programs (DPP), including group-based contact intervention, digital program with human coaching and fully automated program. The data for simulation were derived from research literature and national health and population statistics. The model was constructed using the iGrafx Process for Six Sigma software and simulations were carried out for 10 years. All simulated interventions produc…

Personality Traits and Changes in Health Behaviors and Depressive Symptoms during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Longitudinal Analysis from Pre-pandemic to…

2021

The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures targeting the transmission of the virus impacted everyday life in 2020. This study investigated pre- to in-pandemic changes in health behaviors and depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of personality traits in these changes in Finland. Data from a larger population-based cohort study of 51–59-year-old Finnish women were used (n = 358). Self-reported questionnaires gathered information about depressive symptoms, eating behavior, physical activity, and alcohol consumption before the pandemic time, at the onset, and at the end of the COVID-19 emergency conditions. Information about personality traits (extraversion an…

Measuring Health Literacy in Childhood and Adolescence with the Scale Health Literacy in School-Aged Children – German Version : The Psychometric Pro…

2022

Abstract. Health literacy can help explain health inequalities in childhood and adolescence. However, suitable instruments for assessing health literacy in this age group are rare, especially in the German-speaking countries. One economical measure is the 10-item Health Literacy in School-Aged Children (HLSAC) scale, developed and reviewed as part of the WHO Child and Adolescent Health Study (HBSC, Health Behavior in School-Aged Children). In the present study, we tested dimensionality, measurement invariance, and associations with health-related measures of the German version of the scale (HLSAC–German), using data from the 2018 national German HBSC study ( N = 4,347 students aged 11, 13,…

Physical activity and sense of coherence : a meta-analysis

2020

The salutogenic model of health proposes that sense of coherence, a multi-dimensional construct representing individuals’ perceptions that their environment is comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful, is a key determinant of stress management and well-being. Generalized resistance resources such as preventive health orientation, material resources, and social support are proposed as determinants of sense of coherence. Health behaviors, particularly physical activity, are proposed as indicators of a preventive health orientation and predictors of sense of coherence. We synthesized research on the relationship between physical activity and sense of coherence using three-level meta-analysis…
