Moderated mediating effects of exercise intention on exercise behavior in stroke pa-tients
Objective To explore the effect mechanism of exercise intention on exercise behavior in stroke patients,so as to provide a reference for promoting patients'exercise behavior.Methods The convenience sampling method was used to select 299 stroke pa-tients.A questionnaire survey was conduct by using the General Information Survey Scale,Exercise Intention Scale,Exercise Pro-gram Scale,Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale,and International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form.Results The exercise inten-tion score of stroke patients was(14.41±3.48).The exercise self-efficacy score was(41.68±10.95).The exercise plan score was(30.85士7.51).The total metabolic equivalent of exercise behavior was 1 108(596,1 470)MET-min/week.Exercise intention had a positive effect on exercise behavior.Exercise planning mediated the relationship between exercise intention and exercise behavior,with the mediating effect accounting for 31.19%of the total effect,and exercise self-efficacy moderated the first half of the path of this mediating effect(p=0.124,P<0.05).Conclusion The exercise behavior of stroke patients needs to be improved.Exercise in-tention can not only directly predict exercise behavior,but also indirectly influence exercise behavior through exercise planning.Exercise self-efficacy plays a regulatory role in this process.Positive psychological interventions can stimulate the exercise intention of stroke patients,improve exercise self-efficacy,and help patients formulate a perfect personalized exercise plan to promote the generation and maintenance of exercise behavior.
