Implementação de intenções e adesão a um programa de caminhada diária em pessoas com doença pulmonar obstructiva crónica (DPOC) e mais de 65 anos
Abstract(s)
A prática de actividade física traduz-se em benefícios na evolução clínica da Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crónica (DPOC). A implementação de intenções parece constituir uma estratégia de auto-regulação eficaz na promoção de comportamentos pró-saúde, como a actividade e o exercício físico. Neste projecto, o objectivo consiste em promover a adesão à actividade física em doentes com DPOC através da implementação de intenções. A amostra proposta será cerca de 100 sujeitos com mais de 65 anos e DPOC, clinicamente estável e em ambulatório, para a realização da caminhada diária de 30 minutos durante nove semanas (mais 24 semanas do follow-up). Serão divididos em dois grupos. Apenas o grupo experimental, estará envolvido na formação da implementação de intenções com especificação de “onde, quando e como” realizará a caminhada. Este comportamento será avaliado através de exames médicos, questionários (variáveis da teoria do comportamento planeado e actividade física anterior) e pedómetro, em avaliações a realizar num Hospital da Grande Lisboa. Espera-se obter benefícios a nível da evolução da DPOC em todos os participantes e uma maior adesão à caminhada diária nos participantes envolvidos na implementação de intenções.
ABSTRACT: The practice of physical activity results in benefits in the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) clinical evolution. Implementation intentions seem to be an effective self-regulatory strategy in the promotion of pro-health behaviors, such as active life and physical exercise. This project’s main objective is to promote adherence to physical activity, in patients with COPD, through the implementation intentions. The proposed sample consist about 100 subjects over 65 years old with clinically stable COPD, and in clinic ambulatory, that will go for daily walks of 30 minutes during 9 weeks (plus 24 weeks of follow-up). The group sample will be divided in two. Only one of the groups will be accompanied with the implementation intentions, regarding "where, when and how" they will do their walks. This behavior will be evaluated in a Hospital of Metropolitan Lisbon, through medical exams, questionnaires (Planned Behavior Theory and previous physical activity) and a pedometer. The expectations are that benefits will be observed on the evolution of DPOC in all subjects, with a bigger participation in the daily walks from those that were subject to intention implementation.
