Abstract Aim To identify the factors pertaining to quality of life (QOL) among mothers patients with cerebral palsy. Methods In this cross‐sectional study, 203 children palsy were selected using convenience sampling. The World Health Organization's Quality Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL‐BREF), Beck Depression Inventory, Caregiver Difficulties Scale, Fatigue Severity and a demographic information questionnaire administered these caregivers. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis was...

Using computerized reaction-time tasks assessing automatic attitudes, studies have shown that healthy young adults faster reaction times when approaching physical activity stimuli than avoiding them. The opposite has been observed for sedentary stimuli. However, it is unclear whether these results hold across the lifespan and error rates a possible generic approach-avoidance tendency are accounted for. Here, errors in online of 130 participants aged 21 to 77 years were analyzed using...

To investigate the psychometric properties of Persian version Caregiver Burden Scale (CBS) in caregivers patients with spinal cord injury.This is a cross-sectional study. After forward-backward translation, CBS was administered to 110 injury (men = 60, women 50). Factor structure evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis. The Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were examined using Cronbach's α intraclass correlation coefficient, respectively. Construct validity assessed...

Higher levels of academic education are associated with higher physical activity throughout the lifespan. However, mechanisms underlying this association unclear. Cognitive functioning is a potential mediator because better cognitive function, which related to greater engagement in activity. Here, we used large-scale longitudinal data from 105,939 adults 50 years age or older (55% women) Survey Health, Ageing, and Retirement Europe investigate whether initial status change function mediate...

Why people with lower levels of educational attainment have poorer mental health than higher can partly be explained by financial circumstances. However, whether behavioral factors further explain this association remains unclear. Here, we examined the extent to which physical activity mediates effect education on trajectories in later life. Data from 54,818 adults 50 years age or older (55 % women) included Survey Health, Aging and Retirement Europe (SHARE) were analyzed using longitudinal...

Objectives. Promoting regular physical activity (PA) is essential in cardiac rehabilitation; yet many patients exhibit low levels of PA. In January 2022, the Improving Physical Activity (IMPACT) trial, a randomised controlled trial at University Hospital Geneva, was launched to promote PA by targeting automatic approach tendencies towards exercise-related stimuli through cognitive bias modification (CBM) intervention. This article examines limited acceptance this intervention, identifies...

The aim of this study was to investigate psychometric properties the Caregiver Difficulties Scale (CDS) for Iranian caregivers children with cerebral palsy (CP). After a forward-backward translation, Persian version CDS (P-CDS) administered 151 mothers CP children. confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) applied measure structure P-CDS. reliability evaluated by examining internal consistency and test-retest method over 2-week period using Cronbach's alpha intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC),...

Often people with spinal cord injury (SCI) require help from their caregivers to carry out activities of daily living. Such assistance may affect caregiver quality life (QoL). This study investigates the QoL and its associated risk factors among SCI find possible ways increase QoL. Material Method. A convenience sample 135 Iranian participated in a cross-sectional Brain Spinal Injury Repair Research Center Tehran (BASIR), Iran, June 2018 October 2019. The World Health Organization's Quality...

Background. Greater behavioral apathy has been shown to be associated with lower engagement in physical activity. However, the mechanisms underlying this association remain overlooked and poorly understood. Intentions, explicit attitudes, approach-avoidance tendencies toward activity may play a central role relationship, given their strong links motivation Methods. An online study was conducted 365 participants aged 54±18 years. All measures were assessed using questionnaires, except...

Background: To counteract the pandemic of physical inactivity, current interventions rely mainly on reflective processes that focus increasing motivation to be physically active. Yet, while these successfully increase intention active, their effect actual behavior is weak. Recent findings in line with theory effort minimization activity (TEMPA) suggest this inability turn into action explained by positive automatic reactions stimuli associated sedentary behaviors. These could particularly...

The role of affective responses to effort in the regulation physical activity behavior is widely accepted. Yet, investigate these during activity, most studies used direct self-reported measures that are prone biases (e.g., social desirability, ability introspect). To reduce biases, we an indirect measure (i.e., affect misattribution procedure) assessed implicit valence elicited by 42 healthy young adults. Specifically, participants rated pleasantness neutral human faces presented a virtual...

Objective. Financial conditions, such as low wealth, have been highlighted a factor explaining why people with lower levels of educational attainment poorer mental health than higher levels. However, whether behavioral factors can further explain this association remains unclear. Here, we examined the extent to which physical activity behavior mediates effect education on trajectories in old age, independently financial condition pathway.

Background: A higher level of academic education is associated with levels physical activity across the life course. However, mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. Cognitive functioning a potential mediator association, as are better cognitive function, which greater engagement in activity. Therefore, study aimed to investigate whether function mediates relationship between and activity.Methods: We used large-scale longitudinal data from 96,990 adults 50 years age or older...

Background: Action Observation Therapy (AOT) is a top-down approach that has been recently introduced in the rehabilitation of neurological disorders mainly after stroke. The main goal this study was to investigate effects and feasibility new technique AOT procedure (called self-AOT) following periods no treatment routine intervention on upper limb motor function, occupational performance neurophysiological changes stroke patient. Methods: A single-subject A-B-A-C design used 58-year-old...

This study investigates the impact of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (m-CIMT), accompanied by occupation-based and activity analysis, on participation children with hemiplegia.Twenty-three participants were randomly assigned to intervention control groups. The group received m-CIMT (m-CIMT along analysis), while without analysis. was conducted one hour per day, three days a week, for four weeks.The primary outcomes revealed no significant differences between groups in promoting...
