“…Greater competence satisfaction was observed in individual interventions, when compared to group interventions, and for adults than for children (37). The results and discussions presented provide support to: a) improve the consistency in the descriptions of interventions based on the Self-Determination Theory, providing social agents, whether researchers, interventionists or health professionals, with a set of pre-established terms, de nitions, and comprehensive approaches that facilitate understanding and precision of the approaches used (36, 37); and b) conduct more expressive and pertinent comparisons of interventions based on the components they incorporate, enabling the identi cation of the most promising techniques for achieving more effective behavior changes (51).…”

Background: A better understanding of how behavior change interventions work to reduce depressive symptoms, as well as their effects and potential mediators, is needed. This paper described the methods of the Vincular Project, an intervention based on Self-Determination Theory with changes in 24-hour movement behaviors to reduce depressive symptoms in Brazilian adults. Methods: This is a randomized, controlled, blinded clinical trial with adults aged 20 to 59 years, of both sexes, with depressive symptoms. The sample was intentional and non-probabilistic and participants were allocated to a control group and an intervention group. The intervention was carried out twice a week, for 16 weeks and consisted of face-to-face and online meetings. The activities aimed to make participants more aware of their living and health conditions, exploring 24-hour movement behaviors, especially physical activity, and their relationships with depressive symptoms. The contents were different in each meeting and the activities were organized into four blocks, the first being contextualization, the second with general and specific guidelines on 24-hour movement behaviors, the third with opportunities to practice physical activity in different contexts and situations, and the fourth with strategies for maintaining healthy behaviors in the short and long term. Baseline (January 2022), post-intervention (May 2022), and maintenance (November 2022) evaluations included depressive symptoms as primary outcome, and 24-hour movement behaviors and basic psychological needs as secondary outcomes. The variables of autonomy, competence and relatedness were also tested as mediators related to the effectiveness of the intervention on depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), 24-hour movement behaviors by self-report and accelerometry, and basic psychological needs by the translated and adapted version of the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale (BPNES). To verify the effect of the intervention, per-protocol and intention-to-treat analyses will be conducted using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE). Structural Equation Models (SEMs) will be employed in the mediation analysis. Discussion:The results of this trial will involve valuable information about the effect of a behavioral intervention to reduce depressive symptoms carried out in a middle-income country. Trial registration: Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (ReBEC): RBR-7466htj, April, 17 2023. Retrospectively registered.

“…the counsellor and client have decided they are sufficiently motivated to maintain physical activity). Though PAC is individualized and topics vary depending on the individual, common topics discussed in the sessions include goal setting, self-monitoring and barrier management (Gagnon et al, 2018).…”

Self-Compassion and Happiness: Exploring the Influence of the Subcomponents of Self-Compassion on Happiness and Vice Versa

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Self-compassion is a healthy conceptualization of the self and has been associated with a myriad of health benefits. There is limited research regarding the influence of the subcomponents of self-compassion on happiness and vice versa. This study investigated (1) the influence and relative strength of the relationships of the 6 subcomponents of self-compassion onto happiness, (2) the influence and relative strength of the relationships of happiness onto the 6 subcomponents of self-compassion and (3) the bi-directional relationship between total self-compassion variables and happiness across two timepoints. This study followed a pre-post design whereby 33 university students and employees undergoing a physical activity counselling (PAC) program filled out validated online questionnaires before and immediately after individualized sessions. Results revealed that there was a positive bi-directional relationship between self-compassion and happiness over time, with the stronger influence being from happiness to self-compassion. This is likely because happier individuals are kinder to themselves and strongly connected with others. Moreover, results showed that mindfulness was the strongest subcomponent of self-compassion to positively influence happiness, and happiness was the strongest negative predictor of isolation. This has practical implications in that PAC counsellors and other practitioners should try to emphasize mindfulness in their interventions to maximize feelings of happiness, and try to cultivate happiness to reduce feelings of isolation and increase total self-compassion.

“…Previous reviews have not explicitly identified the BCTs reported in published trials of MI for weight outcomes through coding the intervention design specifically within MI and weight loss contexts, but recent research has begun to identify techniques present within in-person physical activity counselling sessions. 17 MI is a popular approach and further investigation to clarify the efficacy of the intervention and its individual components is required. The use of Hardcastle and colleague's technique framework will support identification of present components in MI interventions.…”

Use of motivational interviewing in behavioural interventions among adults with obesity: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review aimed to identify whether motivational interviewing (MI) (a counselling approach for supporting behaviour change [BC]) helps to reduce bodyweight and BMI in an adult obesity context. This included evaluating effectiveness of MI interventions within this population and reporting the methodology used, including theoretical underpinnings and identification of BC and MI techniques. Eight databases were searched using controlled vocabulary. Eligible studies included adults with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 ), author-reported interventions using MI aiming to reduce body weight or BMI, and comparator groups not receiving an MI intervention. Data extraction and quality appraisal tools were used to identify study characteristics, intervention content was coded for techniques, and random-effects meta-analysis were conducted to investigate effects. Meta-analysis of 12 studies indicated no overall pooled effect on bodyweight and BMI outcomes between intervention and control groups (SMD = À0.01 [95%CI À0.13 to 0.12, P = .93]). Findings were limited by multiple sources accounting for risk of bias, and poor reporting of intervention fidelity and content. Intervention and control content descriptions indicated similar techniques, with social support, goal setting (behaviour) and self-monitoring of behaviour occurring most frequently across both. Findings do not contribute additional evidence for MI use in this context, however methodological limitations were identified which must be resolved to better identify the intervention effects on obesity-related outcomes.
