Exercise self-efficacy is positively associated with physical activity in CHD patients, and this relationship is even stronger in those with depressive symptoms, highlighting the importance of targeting self-efficacy in this subgroup.
Siow et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary heart disease (n=149). Exercise self-efficacy and depressive symptoms was evaluated on Physical activity (b = 1.48, p=<.001). Exercise self-efficacy was an independent predictor of physical activity (b = 1.48, P < .001), and this relationship was significantly stronger among patients with depressive symptoms (P = .043).
