疾患患者を対象とした身体活動・運動関連セルフエフィカシー研究

Abstract

The measure for self-efficacy (SE) to physical activity (PA) and exercise has been developed for various types of people and adopted on the basis of quantitative and qualitative research with disease patients. In this review, we discuss the extant literature dealing with the influential roles of SE in relation to PA and exercise for disease patients. We review PA- and exercise-related SE studies classifying into the following research areas: cardiopulmonary disease and arthritis. In each research area, we first introduce various measurements used in PA- and exercise-related SE, and consider with some parts according to the following research purposes: for cardiopulmonary disease patients, 1) SE role as a determinant or predictor to PA and exercise, 2) SE role as an outcome of intervention, and 3) SE manipulation; and for arthritis patients, 1) pain-related SE, 2) task SE, and 3) SE enhancement. Finally, we conclude with remarks for future applications of SE theory to PA and exercise domain and propose more practical program development using SE and other behavior change strategies.
