背景：越来越多的证据表明，多发性硬化症（MS）患者的身体活动少于未患病人群。提高多发性硬化症患者体力活动参与水平的一种方法涉及识别与体力活动相关的因素，这些因素可以通过精心设计的干预措施加以改变。目的：本研究采用社会认知视角，考察自我效能、享受、社会支持和残疾与多发性硬化症患者参加体育活动的相关性。方法：我们招募了196名美国中西部地区的多发性硬化症患者。参与者完成了一系列问卷调查，然后在7天内系上带有加速度计的皮带。数据采用协方差模型进行分析。结果：享受（gamma =.38, p < .001），社会支持（gamma =. 15, p < .05），残疾(gamma =。18, p < 0.01)与自我效能感有统计学意义的直接关系，自我效能感（beta = 0.29, p < 0.001）和享受感（gamma = 0.28, p < 0.001）与体育活动有统计学意义的直接关系。结论：未来的研究人员应该考虑检查自我效能和享受，作为一种干预措施的可能组成部分，旨在增加MS患者的体育活动参与。
Background: There is accumulating evidence that individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) are less physically active than nondiseased populations. One methodfor increasing the level of participation in physical activity among MS patients involves the identification of factors that correlate with physical activity and that are modifiable by a well-designed intervention. Purpose: This study adopts a social cognitive perspective and examines self-efficacy, enjoyment, social support, and disability as correlates of participation in physical activity among individuals with MS. Methods: We recruited 196 individuals with a diagnosis of MS front the Midwest region of the United States. The participants completed a battery of questionnaires and then wore a belt with an accelerometer for a 7-day period. The data were analyzed using covariance modeling. Results: Enjoyment (gamma =.38, p < .001), social support (gamma = .15, p < .05), and disability (gamma =. 18, p < .01) had statistically significant direct relations with self-efficacy, and self-efficacy (beta = .29, p < .001) and enjoyment (gamma = .28, p < .001) had statistically significant direct relations with physical activity. Conclusions: Future researchers should consider examining self-efficacy and enjoyment as possible components of an intervention that is designed to increase physical activity participation in MS patients.
