Key result
In patients with hypertension, physical activity was significantly correlated with stages of change (r=0.592), processes of change (r=0.250), and self-efficacy (r=0.258).
Why the study?
Does the trans-theoretical model correlate with physical activity in patients with hypertension?
Cross-Sectional (n=144)
No
Does the trans-theoretical model correlate with physical activity in patients with hypertension?
Effect estimate: r = 0.592
p-value: p=<0.001
Supports TTM relevance for activity in hypertension; leaves open causality and intervention effects.
Introduction: Motivating people to participate in physical activities is challenging, especially in patients with hypertension. According to the role of trans-theoretical model in determining behavioral change and to time it, this study conducted with the aim of determining the relationships between constructs of trans-theoretical model and physical activity in patients with hypertension. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted on 144 patients with hypertension using purposive sampling method. Data was collected by a questionnaire related to constructs of trans-theoretical model including stages of change, self efficacy, decisional balance, processes of change and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21 and tests of one way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis, Pearson's, and Spearman's correlation coefficients.

Motlagh et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=144). Trans-theoretical model constructs (stages of change, processes of change, self-efficacy, decisional balance) was evaluated on Correlation between physical activity and stages of change (r = 0.592, p=<0.001). In patients with hypertension, physical activity was significantly correlated with stages of change (r=0.592), processes of change (r=0.250), and self-efficacy (r=0.258).
