“…Persuasive social support strategies involving efforts to prompt or persuade another person to improve his or her health behaviors have been found to elicit positive health behavior change (Stephens et al 2009), whereas control strategies that involve the use of pressure, such as criticizing or expressing doubts about the person's health behavior, have been found to undermine behavior change (Martire et al 2013). Participants were asked to indicate the frequency with which their partner used social persuasion (3 items) and social pressure (4 items) to influence their health behaviors.…”

The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the feasibility of an intervention designed to facilitate partner support for lifestyle change among overweight and obese adults with serious mental illness (SMI). Fifteen adults with SMI enrolled in a lifestyle intervention at community mental health centers participated with a self-selected partner in an additional 12-week intervention component designed to facilitate social support for health behavior change. Participants reported that the program was useful, convenient, and helped them reach their goals. Approximately two-thirds (66%) of participants were below their baseline weight at follow-up, including 27% achieving clinically significant weight loss. Participants reported significant increases in partner support for exercise and use of persuasive social support strategies. Partner support interventions that promote exercising together and positive communication may be effective for helping individuals with SMI initiate and sustain health behavior change necessary to reduce cardiovascular risk.

“…Miller et al (1992) found that peer-pressure predicts patients' intention to adhere to prescribed treatments, which in turn influences adherence to lifestyle changes. The use of pressure and persuasion strategies by spouses has also been linked to greater adherence (Stephens, Fekete, Franks, Rook, Druley & Greene, 2009). However, another group of researchers reported that when friends and family members have strong opinions about asthma patients' medication use, patients were less likely to take their medications (Foster et al, 2011).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors related to patients' adherence to prescribed medications and recommended lifestyle changes. Two hundred and ninety-eight adults from a northern Canadian community filled out a questionnaire. Several intriguing findings emerged: (a) Adherence to lifestyle changes and participants' age presented a U-shape relationship; (b) Those who perceived themselves to be in poor health were less likely than those in good health to adhere to lifestyle changes; (c) Barriers such as the severe winter weather, lack of transportation, and cost of medications contributed negatively to adherence; and (d) If doctors provided sufficient information on the benefits and use of the prescribed medications and the proposed lifestyle changes and if patients reported trusting their doctors, they tended to adhere more. Physicians can play an important role in promoting adherence among patients. Community health workers should make efforts in reducing barriers that interfere with patient adherence.

“…This can have a positive impact on improving the elderlys' quality of life; however, the potential risk is that the shared information may contain inaccurate or even harmful details, especially concerning chronic and life-threatening conditions (22). On the other hand, the elderly in social networks have the ability to persuade each other to treat and adhere to medical treatments, which shortens the recovery period (24). This can be used in social networks and aging can be accompanied by more health through elaborating such networks and uploading the correct, reliable, and authentic information.…”

Background: Many studies have indicated that the use of social networks and online communication by seniors can improve their general health and social welfare as well as promote the quality of their lives. However, problems with the use of online social networks may prevent them from using the networks. This study aims to explain the experiences of older adults when facing barriers and challenges of using social networks. Methods: This qualitative study takes a phenomenological approach and was carried out in 2016 using purposive sampling. We collected the in-depth semi-structured interviews with 9 seniors) 3 males and 6 females) with an average age of 68.3 years. Subjects confirmed to be active members in at least 1 of the online social networks. The data were analyzed using Colaizzi's 7-step method. Results: Two main themes of "preconditions of use" and "individual concerns" were extracted from the data analysis. A total of 6 relevant subthemes were as follows: "need for equipment and facilities," "adequate income", "need for technical knowledge", "trust in information", "trust in other users", and "security and privacy". Conclusions: People of older age reported barriers and difficulties using online social networks. It seems that the elderly can be encouraged to use these social networks and improve the quality of their lives through educational planning.
