“…While SDT is macro-theoretical approach, related to large-scale issues and large groups of people (Saunders et al, 2018), our study examined needs from the very specific perspective of (a) how a family member living with a high-risk patient acted in regard to CPR training, (b) why he or she acted as observed, and (c) how he or she interpreted the meanings of his or her action at the micro-level.…”

“…One sub-theory of SDT is the basic psychological needs theory, which postulates that humans have three basic psychological needs: the innate needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness . Support for basic psychological needs has been reported to produce autonomous motivation of health behavioural change such as physical activity (Pedersen, Halvari, & Olafsen, 2018), which includes postcardiac rehabilitation programs (Saunders, Huta, & Sweet, 2018).…”

Aims To explore the motivation of family members of patients at high risk for sudden cardiac death for undertaking cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. Background Home cardiac arrests are associated with poor outcomes because few family members learn CPR. Little is known about factors that motivate family members to participate in CPR training. Design We used grounded theory to establish a theoretical framework to explore the motivational factors for learning CPR among family members. Methods Twelve participant observations and 42 semi‐structured interviews with family members of different behaviours towards CPR training were conducted from December 2013 ‐ November 2016. Data were analysed using constant‐comparisons, situational analysis, and encoding. Findings A motivation‐behaviour theoretical framework for learning CPR was constructed. We identified meeting inner needs as the core category to demonstrate motivation. Security motivation and responsibility motivation emerged as main categories, which demonstrate that seeking a sense of security and shouldering family responsibility were important considerations for family members to learn CPR. These two motivations produced high‐engagement behaviours of family members to learn CPR. Conclusions The motivations we identified—deriving from a sense of security and family responsibility—are the main reasons family members would learn CPR and, therefore, should be understood by medical professionals. Understanding these motivations may help in the formulation of customized CPR training that further meets the needs of family members. For example, motivational interventions that are integrated with a family‐based CPR course can be designed to improve the participation of family members and the sustainability of the course.

“…In addition, it is important to investigate cancer survivors' well-being orientations (hedonia: seeking enjoyment, comfort, and pleasure, and eudaimonia: seeking excellence and develop the best within ones), results from health programs. 6 In this pilot study, therefore, based on self-determination theory (SDT) approach, 7 we aimed to examine an autonomysupportive exercise instructing style (e.g., provide choice, and take individual's perspectives) to enhance hedonic and eudaimonic orientations, exercise motivation, and psychological well-being in breast cancer survivors.…”

“…26,27 Apart from the importance of examining exercise motivation and psychological well-being, research has shown that well-being orientations (hedonia and eudaimonia) in health care programs associate with patients' well-being. 6 The hedonic approach reflects the view that well-being consists of maximizing subjective happiness and experience of pleasure so that to maximize hedonic well-being orientation, people should do what makes them happy and minimizing negative emotions. In contrast, the eudaimonic approach reflects optimal psychological functioning at one's highest potential.…”

Background: Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), this pilot study aimed to test an autonomy-supportive exercise instructing style to promote hedonic (seeking comfort and pleasure) and eudaimonic (seeking to develop the best within one and pursue excellence)orientations, exercise motivation, and psychological well-being of breast cancer survivors. Methods: Twenty-four breast cancer survivors were randomized in either autonomy-supportive exercise instructing style (treatment condition) or usual exercise instructing style (control condition). The study consisted of a pre-intervention session followed by 22 exercise sessions and a post-intervention session. Hedonic and eudaimonic orientations, exercise motivation, and psychological well-being (subjective vitality) measured at baseline and post-intervention sessions. Results: As expected, participants in the treatment condition reported greater eudaimonic and hedonic orientations and subjective vitality compared to the participants in the control condition. The results showed no difference in exercise motivation across conditions. Conclusion: We concluded that the SDT-based intervention was successful in helping breast cancer survivors increase hedonic and eudaimonic orientations and subjective vitality. Practical and theoretical implications, along with limitations and future research suggestions are discussed inside.

“…A well-being perspective from the self-determination theory may explain the unique associations between physical activity and PPWB (Saunders, Huta, & Sweet, 2018). This perspective suggests that well-being facilitates health behaviour performance by increasing positive experiences that lead to the intrinsic pursuit of life goals (Ryan, Huta, & Deci, 2008).…”

Associations between Positive Psychological Well-Being, Psychological Distress, and Physical Activity among Adults with Diabetes

Positive psychological well-being (PPWB) is associated with physical activity above and beyond psychological distress among adults. The purpose of this study was to determine if this association holds among people with diabetes. Data came from a subset of participants in the Whitehall 2 study who participated in an accelerometer sub-study and self reported having diabetes (n = 112). Baseline data (2007)(2008)(2009) of PPWB, psychological distress, and diabetes status were self-reported; physical activity was directly measured via accelerometer at follow-up (2012)(2013). In adjusted models, PPWB was not associated with physical activity among people with diabetes, β = 1.73, p = .098. Exploratory analyses indicated that diabetes status did not moderate associations between PPWB and physical activity. Results suggest that PPWB may not play a role in physical activity among adults with diabetes. Future research should test other positive psychological factors that are associated with physical activity among adults with diabetes.

Physical Activity, Well‐Being, and the Basic Psychological Needs: Adopting the SDT Model of Eudaimonia in a Post‐Cardiac Rehabilitation Sample

Abstract: This study showed a potential bidirectional relationship between MVPA and EWB and tested the SDT model of eudaimonia with MVPA in post-cardiac rehabilitation. Future interventions could look to simultaneously promote eudaimonia and MVPA among this population.
