“…In their study, Sabooteh et al implemented the various stages of the behavior theory in the software-based and web-based educational intervention programs for improving the physical activity levels of the students [ 33 ]. According to the researchers, if the design of the intervention program was based on the preparation level of the patients to change and use novel educational tools, it showed a higher positive effect on their progress levels during different stages of their behavioral change levels.…”

Web-Based Dietary and Physical Activity Intervention Programs for Patients With Hypertension: Scoping Review

et al. 2021

Background Hypertension is the root cause of many chronic diseases. Lifestyle changes (ie, dietary alterations and physical activity) are seen to be an important step in the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Educating people through web-based interventional programs could offer an effective solution and help these patients with hypertension in the existing health care scenario. Objective In this study, the researchers conducted a scoping literature review of the web-based dietary changes and physical activity–related intervention programs designed for the patients with hypertension and identified the methodologies, effectiveness, protocols, and theories, which could affect and improve existing clinical activities. Methods This review followed the scoping review methodology to identify and process the peer-reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2020. The literature searches were conducted on the following electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Google Scholar. By using relevant search terms, studies were included if they offered information related to the web-based intervention tools, specifically dietary and physical activity intervention for patients with hypertension. Studies written or translated in English language and published within the date range (January 2010 to March 2020) were included. Results Overall, 1441 articles were initially identified. The reviewers included 35 articles after removing duplicates and screening titles. Only 21 articles were assessed for full review, and 15 were kept for analysis. The researchers selected 15 web-based intervention articles published on the topic of hypertension from 7 countries. A few of these 15 web-based tools (4, 27%) included more than 3 functions and provided a lot of important information (such as appointments, health records, or viewable care). Several tools were standalone tools (11, 73%), while most of the tools supported communication intervention–related lifestyle or behavioral changes (13, 87%) and medication adherence (6, 40%). It was found that physicians (9, 60%), allied health professionals (5, 33%), and nurses (5, 33%) were the health care providers who generally used these tools for communicating with their patients. More than half of the above tools (10, 67%) were assessed by different researchers in randomized controlled trials, while 5 tools (33%) were investigated in nonrandomized studies. Conclusions We identified many web-based intervention programs for patients with hypertension from the literature databases. The findings indicate that numerous benefits can be derived after using a web-based dietary and physical activity intervention program for hypertension focusing on lifestyle changes. However, developers need to consider the preferences of the patients with regard to the information or the design features while developing or modifying web-based educational websites. These tools could be used for designing a patient-tailored website intervention program that is based on diet and physical activities for patients with hypertension.

“…Although changing unhealthy behavior is challenging, health-related educational methods based on the appropriate and well-known behavioral models/theories can help healthy or ill individuals to change their beliefs about a disease or preventive measures. [ 9 10 ] In this regard, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)is one of the best supported theoretical guidelines for anticipating human behavior, behavioral changes, or designing effective health interventions. [ 11 ] This social–psychological theory, introduced by Ajzen and Fishbein (1977),[ 12 ] emphasizes that behavioral intentions are the primary determinant of behavior, which could be affected by three independent constructs: perceived behavioral control (i.e., an individual’s perception concerning their capability to conduct a behavior), attitudes regarding the behavior, and subjective norms (i.e., social tension on individuals to accomplish or not to accomplish a specific behavior).…”

Background: Cerebrovascular accident dramatically impacts patients’ lives. However, this chronic disease could be managed by boosting self-care and following healthy behaviors. Accordingly, this trial sought to specify the impact of a training program established on the theory of planned behavior on the self-care of clients with this condition. Materials and Methods: This trial was performed on 80 clients, who were selected using a random numbers table and divided into two equal groups to receive either usual care alone or usual care plus a training program based on the theory of planned behavior (five in-hospital individual sessions for 5 weeks and weekly phone follow-ups for 2 months after discharge). Self-care and the dimensions of the theory of planned behavior were investigated at baseline and 2 months after the last in-hospital session using the standardized Shah version of the modified Barthel index and a researcher-made questionnaire, respectively. Results: The mean score of self-care was significantly higher in the experimental arm at the posttest (Mann–Whitney = 506.00, p = 0.005). Also, the increase in mean change of self-care from baseline to posttest was significantly more in the experimental arm (t78= −6.6, p < 0.001). Such findings were also found for all dimensions of the theory of planned behavior. Conclusions: Based on results, nurses and health policymakers can incorporate training based on the theory of planned behavior into routine care programs for patients with cerebrovascular accident to boost their self-care. The implemented intervention also could be reproduced in other contexts. Hence, further trials are requested to specify the sustainability of the findings.

“…Physical activity is a behavior that requires planning and choosing the appropriate educational method, model, or theory. [ 5 ] Behavioral models and theories can act as a guide in physical activity interventions, so researchers have used them in various physical activity interventions. [ 6 ] The theory of planned behavior (TPB) is an extended theory of reasoned action that is essential in dealing with behaviors over which people have incomplete voluntary control.…”

Background: Regular physical activity for adolescents has many health benefits, many of which also affect adulthood. Physical activity is a behavior that requires planning and choosing an appropriate educational method, model, or theory. However, mobile phone applications are known as a suitable method to increase physical activity according to the guidelines. This study aims to increase physical activity in female students based on the theory of planned behavior using mobile phone applications. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was implemented on 220 high school students (110 people in each group). The samples were selected by a multi-stage cluster method and their information was collected by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) questionnaire whose validity and reliability were confirmed. The intervention group received 8 sessions of education through a mobile phone application that was designed by the constructs of the theory of planned behavior. The samples were evaluated in three stages, through a pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up. Results: The results showed a significant difference in the post-test and two months after the intervention between intervention and control groups in terms of attitude, perceived behavioral control, intention, and physical activity. There was a significant difference between intervention and control groups in subjective norms in the post-test, but there was no significant difference in the two-month follow-up compared to the post-test (P = 0.08). Conclusions: An educational intervention based on the theory of planned behavior using mobile phone applications led to an increase in the physical activity of girl high school students. However, to determine the full effectiveness of this study, it is recommended to implement this intervention in all schools.
