“…One approach to understanding parental support has been to employ behavioural theory. Most of this work has been performed using an adaptation of Ajzen's () theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in the PA domain and the results have shown general support of this structure in both observational (Rhodes et al., , ) and experimental research (Bassett‐Gunter, Stone, Jarvis, & Latimer‐Cheung, ; Laukkanen, Pesola, Finni, & Sääkslahti, ). Despite the general evidence for the utility of this TPB framework, the relationship between intention and support behaviour has been modest.…”

Background The purpose of this paper was to apply a framework designed to evaluate the intention–behaviour gap, known as multi‐process action control (M‐PAC), to understand parental support for the Canadian 24‐Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth. Method Parents (N = 1,208) of children 5–17 years of age, completed measures of reflective (attitudes, perceived control), regulatory (planning), and reflexive (identity, habit) processes as well as intention and support behaviours. Results Parents had significantly (p < .01) higher intentions in descending order to support sleep (86%), reduce screen time (62%), or support physical activity (65% to 61%). Translation of these intentions into behaviour was also significantly (p < .01) higher in a descending pattern for sleep support (80%), screen time reduction (68%), and physical activity support (56% to 31%). Congruent with M‐PAC, a discriminant function analysis of the results showed that the translation of parental support intentions into behaviour was associated with a combination of reflective, regulatory, and reflexive antecedents but these varied by the behaviours. Conclusion The majority of parents have positive intentions to support child and youth health behaviours, yet many fail to enact this support. Translation of intention into action was associated with attitudinal aspects, control over support, self‐regulation skills, and parental habits and identity.

“…PA is fun and cool) in this population. Although one experimental study found no advantage for gain-framed messages over loss-framed in encouraging parent's support for child PA [37], evidence from existing reviews and qualitative research generally supports the use of gain-framed messages when focusing on children or their parents [17,33,38]. Messages targeting cognitive antecedents of PA specified by Theory of Planned Behaviour (e.g.…”

Background: Understanding how to create and deliver effective physical activity (PA) messages for and to various population subgroups may play a role in increasing population PA levels. This scoping review aimed to provide an overview of what is known about PA messaging and highlight key research gaps. Methods: We followed a 5-stage protocol proposed by Arksey & O'Malley and the Preferred Reporting Items For Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews checklist. Stage 1: research questions were identified. Stage 2: we identified relevant studies by searching electronic databases, contacting existing networks and hand searching reference lists. Stage 3: studies were screened in Covidence™ software. Stage 4: study data were extracted and charted. Stage 5: findings from included studies were collated, summarised and reported in two ways: (1) a descriptive numerical analysis providing insight into extent, nature and distribution of the included studies, and (2) a narrative summary summarizing the evidence reviewed organised by messaging concepts and by population subgroup. Results: A total of 9525 references were imported into Covidence™ for screening. Of these, 123 studies were included in final analysis. We found that PA messaging evidence is complex and multidimensional in nature, with numerous concepts to consider when creating or evaluating messages. The extent to which these different PA messaging concepts have been researched is variable. Where research has accumulated and evidence is consistent, it supports the following: (1) PA messages should be framed positively and highlight short-term outcomes specifically relating to social and mental health, (2) message content should be tailored or targeted to intended recipient(s), and (3) when developing messages, formative research, psychological theory and/or social marketing principles should be used. Conclusion: While it is unlikely to address global inactivity on its own, PA messaging may play a valuable role improving population PA levels. However, it is a complex and multidimensional concept and greater understanding is still needed. We present a synthesis of the existing evidence, highlighting key areas where evidence has accumulated and where gaps lie, as well as recommendations for PA messaging to different population subgroups.

“…Parents within this study described feeling overwhelmed in trying to keep up with the many demands placed on them, a common experience in the cancer treatment setting 46 . Assessing parental knowledge, motivation, and perceived barriers to physical activity, for example through survey questions derived from the theory of planned behavior, 47 could inform the provision of targeted education and supportive care, and enable parents to be more effective advocates of physical activity. Models of care that emphasize the parental role in physical activity promotion could provide guidance in achieving this.…”

Background:Little is known about how to facilitate participation in physical activity among children receiving acute cancer treatment.Objective: To understand the parental perspectives on physical activity for children during acute cancer treatment and explore strategies to overcome physical inactivity. Methods:A qualitative study was completed. Data were collected via semistructured interviews with parents of children (aged 4-18 years) who were in their first nine months of cancer treatment.Data were analyzed thematically.Results: Twenty parents were interviewed. A childhood cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment were described as setting in motion a spiral of physical inactivity. Parents identified movement restrictions as a result of commencing treatment and the hospital environment as factors initiating this decline. Parents described the subsequent impact of movement restrictions on their child over time including loss of independence, isolation, and low motivation. These three consequences further contributed to an inability and unwillingness to be physically active. Parents responded in a variety of ways to their child's inactivity, and many were motivated to overcome the barriers to physical activity yet exhibited a reduced capacity to do so. Suggested intervention strategies highlighted the need for comprehensive support from the organization providing treatment. Conclusions:Reasons for reduced physical activity in children receiving acute treatment for cancer are complex and multifactorial. Inactivity cannot be addressed by children and parents alone but requires support from the oncology team through changes to the environment, services, and policies to promote physical activity. These findings may be used to inform targeted, effective, and feasible physical activity interventions. K E Y W O R D Scancer, child, exercise, parents, pediatric, physical activity, qualitative
