Abstract: (1825 Views)
Aims: We aimed to investigate the association between health beliefs and exercise behavior in infertile women at risk of developing osteoporosis.
Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Sanandaj city, west of Iran, in 2018. Four hundred and eighty-three infertile women were included in the study through convenience sampling from 35 comprehensive healthcare centers. Standardized face-to-face interviews were conducted using established and reliable instruments to assess exercise behavior and health beliefs. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22 using Logistic regression models, Chi-square, independent t-test, and Pearson correlations.
Findings: Employed women compared to homemakers had substantially higher odds of adopting exercise behaviors (OR=3.19; 95% CI=1.53-6.66; p<0.01). Moreover, the odds of exercise behavior adoption increased with self-efficacy (OR=1.35; 95% CI=1.2-1.52; p<0.01), and decreased with perceived barriers (OR=0.9; 95% CI=0.84-0.97; p<0.01).
Conclusion: It is essential to increase perceived self-efficacy and reduce perceived barriers to promote exercise behaviors in infertile women. Consequently, health professionals should develop or adopt appropriate strategies to decrease barriers and increase self-efficacy to enhance exercise behaviors in this group of women.
