Perceived Self-Efficacy and Financial Incentives

Abstract

Objective To evaluate if self-efficacy and financial incentives mediate the effect of health behavior on weight-loss in a group of overweight and obese nursing-home employees participating in a 16-week weight-loss intervention with 12 week follow-up. Methods 99 overweight/obese (BMI>25) employees from four nursing-homes participated, with a mean age of 46.98 years and BMI of 35.33. Nursing-homes were randomized to receiving an incentive-based intervention (n=51) and no incentive (n=48). Participants’ health behaviors and eating and exercise self-efficacy were assessed at week 1, 16, and 28 using a self-reported questionnaire. Mediation and moderated mediation analysis assessed relationships among these variables. Results Eating self-efficacy and Exercise self-efficacy were significant mediators between health behaviors and weight-loss (p<0.05). Incentives significantly moderated the effects of self-efficacy (p=0.00) on weight-loss. Conclusions Self-efficacy and financial incentives may affect weight-loss and play a role in weight-loss interventions.

Influence of Nursing Intervention Based on Risk Assessment Model on Self-Efficacy and Postoperative Rehabilitation of Surgical Patients

“…A comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation intervention strategy based on TTM is given by researchers trained with professional knowledge, including dividing behavioral change stages, developing rehabilitation exercise plans through exercise teaching and exercise training, diet and lifestyle guidance, and urging patients to take regular medication and regular follow-up [ 19 ].…”

A Simple Liking Survey Captures Behaviors Associated with Weight Loss in a Worksite Program among Women at Risk of Type 2 Diabetes

“…The women in the present study may not have had achieved enough improvements in physical activity to reach the moderate to intense physical activity level. A study with the full dataset from the worksite-modified DPP found that reported the level of physical activity at post-intervention (at levels from mild to vigorous) explained levels of weight change through exercise self-efficacy or the confidence the participant (both women and men) felt for having the motivation to exercise for six months or longer [65]. The present analysis of a sub-sample of only women from the original study did not consider self-efficacy.…”
