Development The Health-Promoting Exercise Behavior Model Among The Medical Staff Organization Mahasarakham Hospital.

Abstract

Objectives: Development the health-promoting exercise behavior model among the medical staff organization Mahasarakham Hospital

Method: This action research uses the conceptual framework of Kemmis & McTaggart and the Transtheoretical theory. there were three phases in the research procedure: 1) the preparatory phase, 2) the implementation phase, and 3) the evaluation phase. The research instruments were 1) an exercise behavior data survey testing reliability, using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient   = 0.94, and 2) The health-promoting exercise behavior model which the Index of Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) was 0.87. Participant data collection was 74 samples. The study period was from October 2021 to May 2022. assessment of the effectiveness was done by conducting pre-test and post-test after receiving the program. data were analyzed using a paired t-test at a statistically significant p < 0.05

Results: The majority of participants had a readiness to change behavior at an initial stage of 44.6%, spending an average of 50.06 minutes/ time or 3.43 sessions/week. The Most type of exercise is walking. 48.6%. after using the health-promoting exercise model to improve participants had a readiness hierarchy to change exercise behavior, state of change in exercise behavior, self-efficacy in exercise practice, self-liberation balance of exercise decisions, and average body mass index differed with the per-use intervention was statistically significant p-value < 0.05

Conclusions: the health-promoting exercise behavior model developed from the transtheoretical theory is effective in promoting exercise and should be extended to other multidisciplinary fields and promote health among other issues.
