Community Based Intervention

241
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Summary

The MobileMums program improved social cognitive theory constructs, leading to increased physical activity in mothers with young children. Key mediators included self-efficacy and goal setting skills for activity duration and frequency.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral science
  • Public health
  • Exercise science

Background:

  • Maternal physical activity is crucial for health, yet often declines post-childbirth.
  • Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) provides a framework for understanding behavior change, but its application in maternal physical activity interventions needs further exploration.
  • The MobileMums program (MMP) aimed to increase moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in mothers with young children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify which SCT constructs mediated the MMP's impact on MVPA duration and frequency.
  • To understand the psychological and social mechanisms underlying the MMP's effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary analysis of a community-based randomized controlled trial data.
  • Intervention involved tailored text messages and counseling sessions over 12 weeks.
  • Assessed mediators included barrier self-efficacy, goal setting, outcome expectancies, perceived environmental and social support for physical activity.

Main Results:

  • Improvements in MVPA frequency were mediated by enhanced barrier self-efficacy, goal setting skills, outcome expectancies, and perceived social support.
  • Improvements in MVPA duration were mediated by enhanced barrier self-efficacy and goal setting skills.
  • The MMP successfully targeted and improved these SCT constructs.

Conclusions:

  • The MMP effectively increased MVPA in mothers by improving specific SCT constructs.
  • Barrier self-efficacy and goal setting skills are key mediators for increasing both the duration and frequency of MVPA.
  • Findings support the refinement and translation of the MMP and inform future theory- and evidence-based physical activity interventions for this population.
