Predictors Of Adherence

To enhance our understanding of exercise adherence, predictors of adherence based on social-cognitive theory were compared with those derived from a trait approach. A community-based sample of older, sedentary men and women was administered the Self-Motivation Inventory and a self-efficacy questionnaire. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three exercise regimens or to an assessment-only control condition for the following year. The subjects in the exercise conditions recorded each bout of exercise and rated the experience in terms of perceived exertion, enjoyment, and convenience (PEEC) on monthly logs. Based on social-cognitive theory, it was postulated that self-efficacy and certain aspects of the exercise bout itself, such as PEEC, would influence exercise adherence more than the general trait of self-motivation. Self-efficacy was significantly associated with exercise adherence at both 6 months and 1 year (rs = .42 and .44, respectively); self-motivation was not. Contrary to expectations, the PEEC components measured during the first 6 months did not make a significant contribution to the variance in adherence during the second 6 months.

Barriers To Participation

Introduction: Parents play a critical role in their child’s participation in community-based intervention programs. Yet, their perspectives remain largely overlooked in the literature. This qualitative program evaluation used social cognitive theory to understand parents’ motivators and barriers to participation in a community-based intervention program designed for children with motor skill difficulties. Method: Parents (n = 15) of children with motor skill difficulties enrolled in a community-based intervention program participated in semistructured interviews. Results: Thematic analysis revealed six motivators (child needs, satisfaction, perceived impact, affordability, design, and program culture) and three perceived barriers (parent knowledge, access, and accommodations). Discussion: Parents’ motivators and barriers reflected a combination of personal and environmental factors consistent with social cognitive theory. This study revealed novel insight into program-related environmental motivators and barriers. Program leaders should consider ongoing evaluation and application of parental perspectives to optimize family participation and retention in community-based interventions.

Motivation To Quit

BACKGROUND Smoking remains a major public health issue among Chinese immigrants. Smoking cessation programs that focus on this population are scarce and have a limited population-level impact due to the low reach. Mobile messaging interventions have the potential to reach large audiences and expand smokers’ access to cessation programs. OBJECTIVE This study describes the development of a culturally and linguistically appropriate mobile messaging smoking cessation intervention for Chinese immigrant smokers delivered via WeChat, the most frequently used social media platform among Chinese globally. METHODS This study consisted of two phases. In phase 1, we developed a mobile message library based on Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). We culturally adapted messages from two SCT-based text messaging smoking cessation programs (i.e., SmokefreeTXT and Decídetexto). We also developed new messages tailored to Chinese immigrant smokers who are not ready to quit smoking and messages addressing their barriers to quitting and misconceptions (e.g., willpower, nicotine replacement therapy). In phase 2, we conducted in-depth interviews with 20 Chinese immigrant smokers (7 females) in New York City between July and August 2021. The interviews explored participants’ smoking and quitting experiences, followed by the assessment of messages. Participants reviewed 17 messages (6 educational messages, 3 self-efficacy messages, and 8 skill messages) on their phone via WeChat. They rated each message on a 0-10 visual analog scale to indicate to what extent the message enhanced their motivation to quit, promoted confidence in quitting, and increased awareness about quitting strategies. We assessed participants’ understanding of the messages, sought feedback on poorly rated messages, and explored their preferences for content, length, and format. Participants also provided feedback about their concerns with the WeChat cessation intervention and recommendations for frequency and timing of messages. RESULTS Overall, participants reported that the messages enhanced their motivation to quit, offered encouragement, and made them more informed about how to quit. Participants particularly liked the messages about the harms of smoking and strategies for quitting. They reported barriers to applying some of the quitting strategies, including the lack of skills to cope with stress and stay abstinent at work. Participants expressed strong interests in the WeChat mobile messaging cessation intervention and commented on the intervention’s potential to expand their access to smoking cessation treatment (e.g., take minimum time, access information at times of their convenience). CONCLUSIONS Mobile messages are well accepted by Chinese immigrant smokers. Research is needed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of WeChat mobile messaging smoking cessation interventions on promoting abstinence among Chinese immigrant smokers.
