Action plans and coping plans for physical exercise: A longitudinal intervention study in cardiac rehabilitation
Open accessAbstract
Objectives The aim of the present study was to test two brief planning interventions designed to encourage cardiac patients to engage in regular physical exercise following discharge from rehabilitation. The interventions comprised action plans on (a) when, where, and how to act, and (b) coping plans on how to deal with anticipated barriers. Design and method An experimental longitudinal trial was conducted to test two interventions that either focused on action planning alone, or on a combination of action planning and coping planning. A total of 211 participants completed assessments at baseline and 2 months after discharge. Participants were randomly assigned to either one of the intervention groups or a standard‐care control group. Results Participants in the combined planning group did significantly more physical exercise 2 months post‐discharge than those in the other groups. Conclusions The theoretical distinction between action planning and coping planning as introduced in the present study has proven useful in explaining changes in health‐related behaviour. The combined planning intervention can be applied in the context of cardiac rehabilitation programmes.

“To analyse how changes of habitual behaviour patterns can be facilitated, a distinction between a motivational phase and a volitional phase has been proposed (Heckhausen, 1991; Schwarzer, 1992).”

“This finding is in line with studies showing that interventions that require participants to engage repeatedly in strategic planning may work because mentally linking intentions to specific contexts increases the likelihood of translating intentions into actions [37,58-61].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
