Since teachers are exposed to occupational damages, it is necessary to consider physical activity in teachers. The Social-Cognitive Theory (SCT) is a useful framework for understanding physical activity behavior. Therefore, the present research was aimed to determine physical activity determinants in female teachers based on SCT. Instrument & Methods This analytic-cross sectional study was performed on 612 female schoolteachers of all educational levels of urban and rural areas of Rasht County using multistage random sampling in the 2019-2020 academic years. The data collection instruments included demographic information, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, and Social Cognitive Theory Questionnaire. In order to analyze the data, I used Independent Samples t-test, Analysis of Variance, Spearman Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Linear Regression tests in SPSS 21 software. Findings The age average of the teachers was 40.25±7.65. Of the total, 331 teachers (54.1%) had light physical activity (0-599 MET minutes/week). It observed the most direct correlation between self-efficacy (r=0.439) and exercise planning (r=0.513) with physical activity behavior.Constructs of exercise Planning (B=0.34, p=0.001) and Self-Efficacy (B=0.14, p=0.003) were the most significant predictors of physical acti...

Preventive behaviors against COVID‐19 among health care providers in Iran: A cross‐sectional study

“…In the present study, perceived self-efficacy, response efficiency and severity had a moderate positive correlation with preventive behaviors, which is consistent with the findings offered by Azadeh et al 24 and Bashirian et al 18 In another study conducted by Ashouri-Ahmadgourabi et al 29 self-efficacy was found to have a similar correlation with behavior. Self-efficacy plays an important role in changing behavior, and individuals with the most behavior changes have a higher level of self-efficacy at the outset.…”
