Primary care physicians who exercise themselves and have a follow-up plan are more likely to encourage regular exercise in patients. Physician factors, including years in practice, influence exercise promotion strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Preventive medicine
  • Primary care practice
  • Health behavior promotion

Background:

  • Regular exercise offers significant health benefits, making its promotion a key aspect of preventive healthcare.
  • The extent of physician encouragement for patient exercise and associated factors require further elucidation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the attitudes and practices of primary care physicians regarding exercise promotion.
  • To identify factors associated with physicians' encouragement of patient exercise.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 63 family physicians and 63 internists on exercise promotion.
  • Evaluation of associations between physician demography, cognition, belief, and behavior with exercise promotion.

Main Results:

  • Physicians with a follow-up plan, over 10 years in practice, who exercise themselves, and estimate high patient exercise rates are more likely to promote exercise.
  • Logistic regression identified key factors influencing physician exercise promotion behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • Physician-specific factors significantly impact the promotion of regular exercise to patients.
  • Targeted interventions can enhance physician-led exercise promotion in primary care settings.
