“…Trap, Rejkjaer, and Hansen [39] showed positive relations between self-efficacy, SOC, and health promoting behaviours that could be connected to PWB. Similar results in different group of participants were obtained by de Souza et al [40].…”

“…The result showed that in cardiac patients the global sense of coherence was below the norms obtained in the Polish population which range from 133 to 160 points. The results in two subscales of sense of coherence were lower among cardiac patients than in the Polish population: comprehensibility -42 points (norms: 50-61) and manageability -40 points (norms: 45-55), and the result in meaningfulness was on the lower threshold of the Polish population -36 (norms: [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44].…”

Aim of the study:A large deal of research on cardiac patients concentrates on analyses of mutual relationships between sense of coherence and psychological well-being, sense of coherence and self-efficacy, or psychological well-being and self-efficacy. It has been proven that self-efficacy plays a crucial role as a mediator of the relationships between various psychological constructs. Material and method:A total number of 176 patients (82 women and 94 men), age 45-82 years (M = 58.56, SD = 8.25) participated in the study. All participants were patients admitted to the cardiology department with coronary heart disease and undergoing medical interventions. All participants were asked to fill in the Polish adaptations of Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-29), General Self-Efficacy (GSE) scale, and The Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB). Results:Positive correlations were found between sense of coherence (SOC), self-efficacy (SE), and psychological well-being (PWB), as well as between subscales of SOC and PWB. Positive correlations were revealed between SE and subscales of PWB as well. SE was proved as a mediator between SOC and PWB. Discussion:Results obtained in the presented study provide an empirical proof of complexity of the relationship among sense of coherence, psychological well-being, and self-efficacy. The mediation of SE between SOC and PWB appears to be partial which indicates indirect effects among the variables. Conclusions:The main finding was to demonstrate the mediating role of self-efficacy between sense of coherence and psychological well-being. Some additional personality variables need to be considered in further research. sense of coherence, psychological well-being, cardiac patients, self-efficacy

“…Also, self-efficacy can mediate between psychological variables and behavior (Mansouriyeh, Poursharifi, Sadeghi, & Seirafi, 2017;Thomas, Muralidharan, Medoff, & Drapalski, 2016). Thus, it is possible that even when motives are high, individuals still do not perform the task, because self-efficacy is low, that is, if those individuals have a low level of confidence (Axelsson, Lötvall, Cliffordson, Lundgren, & Brink, 2013;de Souza, Torres, Barbosa, de Lima, & de Souza, 2014). To examine the role of self-efficacy, Yoo et al (2018) administered the PALMS, the Exercise Self-efficacy Scale (ESES;McAuley, 1993), and the Barriers Self-efficacy Scale (BARSE;McAuley, 1992) to a sample of 384 Korean adult participants.…”

Physical activity for health and wellbeing: the role of motives for participation

Health professionals have increasing concern about physical health and wellbeing, as life globally becomes more demanding and stressful, yet people are less active, due to mechanization and automation of work and leisure. Increasing the amount of physical activity (PA) people do is now recognized as a global health priority, but PA continues to decline in many countries. Research on motives for participating in PA shows they have a role in PA promotion. We review theory and research on motives for participation in PA. Then, we describe development and validation of the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS), a 40-item measure that includes eight motives. We report on the international validation of PALMS, showing its robustness to varia-tions in language and culture. We describe the development of a youth version, PALMS-Y, and a broader ver-sion that adds motives related to extreme sports. Next, we discuss PALMS research that has examined differ-ences in primary motives based on gender, age, and type of PA, as well as factorial structure invariance. We then consider studies investigating the influence of psychological variables on the relationship between mo-tives for participation in PA and the amount of PA individuals undertake, including self-efficacy, mindfulness, and passion. To aid in the consistent presentation of PA participation motives, we describe a form of motiva-tional profiling for use in research and practice. Finally, we propose ways that motives for participation in PA can be used in interventions to increase PA participation, by matching individuals’ primary motives to the type of PA associated with those motives in large PA samples, or using techniques, such as imagery, to enhance key motives. This should achieve the aim of enhancing health and psychological wellbeing around the world.

“…This study has shown that stress is directly associated with SMSD prevalence in the last seven days and SMSD prevalence in the last 12 months. Police officers are among the professionals most vulnerable to accidents and deaths in exercise of their work and most exposed to danger and aggression, often involved in everyday conflict situations generating tension, SMSD prevalence and occupational stress [17][18][19] .…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze association between stress perception and physical activity with the prevalence of symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders (SMSD) in police officers. The police officers (n=142) answered the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient was used to measure strength and direction of relationship between PSS-10 and prevalence of SMSD and showed a positive correlation between variables in the last 7 days (r=0.34, p=0.00001) and in the last 12 months (r=0.40, p=0.00001). The mean prevalence of SMSD in the last 12 months was lower among police officers practicing physical activity (W=1888.5, p=0.04). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the practice of physical activities as well as efforts to reduce stress perception both decrease the odds of musculoskeletal disorders. This study indicated that stress level and physical activity practice influenced in prevalence of SMSD. Multidisciplinary interventions with actions to reduce stress level and encourage physical activity practice are needed to control SMSD prevalence.
