“…[ 1 ] Therefore, the psychological and behavioral responses of the general population play an important role in the prevention and control of COVID-19 outbreak. [ 8 ] There are several psychological theories including the health belief model (HBM),[ 9 ] the Theory of Planned Behavior,[ 10 11 ] the Stages of Change Model,[ 12 13 ] and the Protection Motivation Theory,[ 13 14 ] which can be applied to predict people's health behaviors. The HBM is commonly used to predict preventive behaviors when prevention of a disease or health problem is considered a priority.…”

BACKGROUND: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has infected nearly 9.5 million people in 216 countries, areas, or territories in the world. The fight against the COVID-19 has become a very serious international challenge. The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of COVID-19-preventive behaviors using the health belief model (HBM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 558 samples from the adult population of Iran. The online convenience sampling was conducted in this research. The online 68-item questionnaire link was published all over Iran through social networks including Telegram and WhatsApp, which are common in Iran. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 19. Descriptive statistics, bivariate Pearson's correlation test, and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: The mean age of the subjects was 33.3 ± 10.01 years. The participants were often female (61.3%), married (57.9%), and resident of the city (81.0%) with university educational level (78.8%). The results showed that the HBM structures predicted 29.3% of the preventive behaviors of COVID-19 in the subjects. The perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy significantly predicted the preventive behaviors, but the perceived susceptibility and perceived severity were not significant in the regression model. The internet and virtual social networks (49.8%), broadcast (33.5%), and healthcare providers (15.8%) were the most important sources of information related with COVID-19. In response to COVID-19-related internal cues to action, 36.6% did not pay attention and 34.7% tried to self-medicate. Only 28.5% of the subjects referred to the hospital, healthcare center, or physician. CONCLUSION: Self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and perceived benefits were the key determinants of COVID-19-preventive behaviors in the subjects. It can be concluded that the HBM is a good tool to predict COVID-19-preventive behaviors in Iranian population.

“…The results of this research show that self-efficacy which is a construct of the socio-cognitive theory, is the most important determinant that physical activity among the students of both genders depends on. And the results of the other studies indicate that self-efficacy indirectly and directly affects the physical activity of young people (DiLorenzo, et al, 1998;Wu, 1999;Neumark-Sztainer et al, 2003;Chang et al, 2004;Petosa et al, 2005;Wu & Jwo, 2005;Pis, 2006;Dowda et al, 2007;Jago et al, 2007;Loucaides et al, 2007;Motl et al, 2007;Sherrick-Escamilla, 2007;Xiong et al, 2017;Rostami et al, 2017;Saeidi et al, 2018).…”

Background: This study examined the applicability of trans-theoretical model (TTM) to understand exercise behaviour among students in University "St. Cyril and Methodius" in Skopje. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. The dependent variables analysed were exercise self-efficacy expectation, decisional balance (pros and cons), social support for physical activity and exercise enjoyment. The independent variable was stage of exercise behaviour change. 1066 students representing various disciplines on campus completed a valid and reliable questionnaire during regularly scheduled classes. More than 67 percent of sample were sedentary (pre contemplation, contemplation, or preparation) whereas 17,6% were in the action stage (regularly active < 6 months) and 14,9% were in the maintenance stage (regularly active > 6 months). Results: All of the TTM constructs differed significantly across exercise stages. Students who are in the action and maintenance stage show greater self-efficacy, social support from parents and peers, and they receive greater benefit from physical activity, compared to students who are in the prethinking and thinking stage. In addition, students who are in the action and maintenance stage, enjoy physical activity more than students who are in the pre-thinking stage. Students who are in the stage of preparedness show greater self-efficacy than students who are in the pre-thinking and thinking stage and they receive greater social support from parents and peers, compared to students who are in the pre-thinking stage. Conclusion: Results supported the use of the entire TTM in examining exercise behaviour among college students.

“…Es indudable que, pese a los diferentes esfuerzos que se han realizado en los últimos años para contrarrestar las consecuencias de la inactividad física en distintas poblaciones, aún se requieren estrategias que puedan dirigir las intervenciones de manera más específica para incidir en esta conducta. Un concepto de gran utilidad son las etapas de cambio, ya que, identificarlas permitirá tener un punto de partida más objetivo para orientar las intervenciones que busquen el cambio de conducta hacia la AF en adolescentes (Engels, Nigg & Reimers, 2022;Nunes et al, 2017;Pirzadeh, Zamani, Khoshali & Kelishadi, 2020;Saeidi, Mirzaei, Mahaki, Jalali & Jalilian, 2018).…”

“…Pocos han sido los estudios identificados y realizados en adolescentes que consideran la etapa de cambio con el objetivo de incidir en su conducta hacia la AF (Brick et al, 2017;Engels et al, 2022;Huang, Hung, Chang & Chang, 2009;Saeidi et al, 2018;Shaver, McGlumphy, Gill & Hasson, et al, 2019). Asimismo, no muchos estudios han sido llevados a cabo en adolescentes mexicanos que permitan identificar las etapas de cambio, sin embargo, los hallazgos evidencian asociaciones interesantes entre las etapas y los niveles de AF de los adolescentes (Baños, Ruiz-Juan, Baena-Extremera, García-Montes & Ortiz-Camacho, 2018;Gallegos-Sánchez, Ruiz-Juan, Villarreal-Ángeles & Zamarripa, 2019;Zamarripa, Ruiz-Juan & Ruiz-Risueño Abad, 2019).…”

La Actividad Física (AF) insuficiente en los adolescentes compromete de manera importante su bienestar físico, mental y social. Se estima que más del 80% de ellos no realiza AF suficiente, y la autopercepción que tienen de su complexión física podría tener una influencia importante hacia esta conducta. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar el nivel de AF y la autopercepción de la complexión física, por tipo de población (rural vs urbana) y sexo, según la etapa de cambio de adolescentes mexicanos. Para ello se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal y enfoque cuantitativo en una muestra de 329 adolescentes (14.46 ± 0.49 años), inscritos en el 3er grado de escuelas secundarias públicas localizadas en una población rural y urbana en México. Se evaluó el nivel de AF con el cuestionario de AF para adolescentes (PAQ-A), la etapa de cambio y la autopercepción de la complexión física de los adolescentes. Cuando la AF se realiza en niveles saludables, los hombres presentan niveles más altos que las mujeres, pero cuando la AF no se realiza en niveles satisfactorios, no existe diferencia entre sexos. Tras la aplicación se puede concluir que existe una asociación positiva entre las etapas de cambio y el nivel de AF. Además, entre los adolescentes que se encontraron en las etapas de acción y mantenimiento, los hombres tuvieron niveles de AF más altos que las mujeres.

Insufficient physical activity in adolescents affects importantly their physic, mental and social wellness. Over 80% of the adolescents in the world do not have enough physical activity, and body image self-perception may significantly influence their physical activity level. This study aimed to analyze the physical activity level and body image self-perception, by population and sex, according to stage of change in Mexican adolescents. A descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study was conducted in a sample of 329 adolescents (14.46 ± 0.49 years), coursing the third grade of middle schools located in a rural and urban population in Mexico. Adolescents’ physical activity level was measured by physical activity questionnaire for adolescents (PAQ-A). Stage of change and body image self-perception were also measured. When physical activity was made at healthy levels, boys performed higher levels than girls, but when physical activity was insufficient, there were no difference between sexes. After application it can be concluded that there was a positive association between stages of change and physical activity level. Furthermore, among adolescents in action and maintenance stages, boys had higher physical activity levels than girls.
