Key result
Self-efficacy, gender, disease severity, and parental attitude are linked to greater physical activity engagement.
Why the study?
The study aimed to identify factors influencing physical activity in adolescents with complex congenital heart disease.
Cross-Sectional (n=92)
No
Self-efficacy, male gender, and participation in school physical education classes are significant positive predictors of physical activity in adolescents with complex congenital heart disease.
Supports self-efficacy-focused counseling in complex CHD adolescents; leaves open need for longitudinal studies to confirm causality.
PURPOSE: We aimed to identify factors influencing physical activity in adolescents with complex congenital heart disease. METHODS: We recruited 92 adolescents with complex congenital heart disease from a tertiary medical center in Seoul, measured their levels of physical activity, and identified factors that influenced their physical activity levels using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire, the New York Heart Association classification, congenital heart disease complexity, the Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Parental Bonding Instrument scale. Stepwise multiple linear regression was used to determine factors influencing physical activity. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to develop nursing interventions that enhance self-efficacy in order to promote physical activity in adolescents with complex congenital heart disease. Physical activity should also be promoted in an individualized manner, taking into account gender, disease severity, and parental attitude.
