“Motivation to exercise after cardiac rehabilitation”

With that, if the physical therapist did their job in aiding the patients through motivation and appropriate behaviors, the patient will be rightly reinforced for their behavior and achievements. And knowing what I’m doing partly comes from taking this course, which has taught me a lot psychologically as far as education, teaching, and training is concerned. They first show me how important my job will be in helping patients recover and rehabilitate from trauma and other injuries and accidents. They all completed a TPB questionnaire that included attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control (PBC), and exercise intentions during and after Phase 2 CR. Goal-directed behavior would be the physical therapist having the patient set challenging, yet attainable goals for themselves during their rehab. The keys are understanding how motivation, behavior, and even reinforcement work. Self-regulation of behavior is similar in this research experiment in that the physical therapist helps the patient by giving them strategies to motivate them to achieve their goals and behave appropriately while doing so. The results explained that during Phase 2 CR, the analysis showed that attitude, PCB, and subjective norm explained 38% of the difference in their intent to exercise, while their intentions explained 23% of the difference of how much exercise they actually were doing. Part of the patient’s motivation to heal is based on my motivation to help them get better and know what I’m doing in order for them to heal.

Motivation and behaviorism have been big topics in this course, and directly relate to my major and future career.

The researcher’s participants were 57 men and 23 women, all of whom in Phase 2 of the program.

The conclusion stated that the Theory of Planned Behavior is a useful means of understanding patients’ motivation to exercise to better their health during and after the Cardiac Rehab Program. Aiding patients in motivating themselves to exercise during and after Phase 2 CR means I would be doing my job right. After Phase 2 CR, attitudes, subjective norm, and PCB explained 51% of the difference in the exercise they intended on doing, while they’re intention to exercise explained 23% of how loyal they were to their intentions to exercise.
