WK4 - Ex Adherence Flashcards
Define Behavioural Adherence
- extent to which a person acts in accordance with an agreed on, expected, desired or pre-determined standard (often professional advice)
Define Exercise non-Adherence.
- Ex behaviour is inconsistent with Ex advice recommendations or prescriptions
- also includes over performance
Define Compliance
- indicating a paternalistic and passive process, with non-compliant person seen as deviant or incapable
- adherence implies a shared responsibility for behaviour
Why are people non-adherent?
Complex interplay of multi-level factors
* social
* personal
* environmental
Why is Ex adherence important?
- benefits of Ex are realised after a period of time
- limited experience in phys and psych benefits - compromise QoL, increase disease burden/healthcare cost
- financial loss for service providers if session unattended
- Ex adh. = dynamic process = shared responsibility, require proactive planning
What are some subjective methods of collecting data?
- Ct self-report, behaviour logs, visual/analogue scales, interviews, questionnaires
- Ct can provide info on Ex variables (FITT, RPE)
- affective state, associated cognitions (feelings/thoughts)
What are some objective methods of collecting data for adherence?
- not reliant on self-report, attendance records, observer recordings, behaviour/physiological monitoring
- observers record Ex behaviour
- behavioural monitors e.g. pedometers for step count
- physiological monitors - record HR
List methods that quantitatively assess Ex non-adherence.
- RPE (Ct, practitioner)
- telephone interview
- participant diary
- recall questionnaire
- observer recording (attendance/performance)
- pedometer for steps/day
- HR monitoring
What are some areas that can be used to discuss advantages/disadvantages of quantitative Ax?
- Ct/practitioner burden
- cost
- intrusiveness
- precision/accuracy
- vulnerability to bias (recall, social desirability)
- type of data provided
- Ex appropriateness
What can adherence criteria be based on?
- different requirements - maximal “dose” required to achieve benefits, formal recommendations of Ex dose, no. training sessions.
- represent a logistic min. e.g. no. people attending Ex program to make a financially viable proposition over time // no. of sessions to be completed to receive award/price
What do measures of adherence vs non-adh. involve?
Simple dichotomy
>80% = adherence
<50% = non-adh.
51-79% = partial adh.
Define partial adherence.
Describes behaviour that reflect but not completely consistent with prescription
- benefits still obtained but not maximised
- examines dose-response relationships
- reflection of Ex prescription strategies to promote adherence
E.g. if someone adheres to 1 component but no another - considering how components differ may indicate how Ex prescription could be modified to optimise engagement
What modifiable/non-modifiable factors
- socio-demographics (age, gender, socioeconomic status, occupation, employment status)
- health and wellbeing - meds, conditions…
- Ex attributes - FITT, complexity, competence, interest.
- intrapersonal factors - confiedence, enjoyment, attitude etc
- social/relational factors - support, stigma, social cohesion.
- environmental - access, costs, safety, climate, aesthetics, convenience, policy
How to create understanding of client to inform development of strategies to promote Ex adherence?
- Ct conversations
- questionnaires
- telephone interviews
- observation
- info from sig. others
- Ext source
What is the MAKE-UPP Framework?
To understand factors contributing to Ex non-adherence.
M = motivation/meaning
A = attitude
K = knowledge
E = Exexperience and attributes
U= understand competing demands
P = people
P = place
How does motivation/meaning affect Ex non-adherence?
- Motivation is a theoretical construct to explain behaviour, reflecting desire, need, want or drive that stimulates individuals actions
- salience of Ex motives differs by age, gender, health, personality, PA level, stage of Ex (initiation, maintenance) and personal circumstace
Salient = most noticeable/important
