From Theory to Design : Developing a smartphone behavioral intervention to promote physical activityMosesson, Martin January 2021 (has links)
Physical inactivity is a growing public health problem in the 21st century. A large proportion of the adult and adolescent population is not achieving recommended levels of physical activity which has significant consequences for both the individual and our society. With no evidence that the levels of physical inactivity will improve in the future, traditional methods of addressing this problem have evidently proven ineffective. A relatively new and promising approach to this problem that has become increasingly important in recent years is smartphone-based behavioral interventions to promote physical activity and other health-related behaviors. While several studies have shown many positive and promising results with this approach, other studies have also shown that the method is not completely understood. For instance, research shows that many of the health and fitness applications available today do not adequately adhere to behavior change strategies or health-related research, suggesting that these applications are not reaching their fullest potential. The goal of this study was to develop and evaluate an application to promote physical activity that was aligned with such research. A high-fidelity prototype based on the Behaviour Change Wheel was developed in Adobe XD and later evaluated by four participants. The outcome of the evaluation indicated that the developed prototype was well received overall, and participants believed it would trigger the desired behavior change of an increase in physical activity. However, due to the study limitations of unrepresentative participants and evaluation environment, time frame and application levels, nothing was truly proven in this regard. Further improvement of the prototype and future studies are needed to evaluate the prototype more accurately. / Fysisk inaktivitet är ett växande hälsoproblem för vårt samhälle under 2000-talet. En stor andel av vuxna och ungdomar uppnår inte rekommenderade hälsonivåer för fysiska aktivitet vilket har påtagliga konsekvenser för både individ och samhälle. Utan några forskningsbevis på att nivåerna för fysisk inaktivitet kommer att förbättras i framtiden har traditionella metoder för att motverka detta problem skenbarligen visats sig vara ineffektiva. Ett relativt nytt och lovande tillvägagångssätt för problemet som blivit alltmer relevant under de senaste åren är smartphonebaserade beteendeinterventioner för att främja fysisk aktivitet och andra hälsorelaterade beteenden. Medan ett flertal studier visat många positiva påföljder och lovande resultat med detta tillvägagångssätt, har andra studier samtidigt visat att metoden inte är helt förstådd och otillräckligt efterforskad. Bland annat visar forskning att många av dagens tillgängliga hälso- och träningsapplikationer inte optimalt följer riktlinjer för vare sig beteendeförändringsstrategier eller hälsorelaterad forskning, vilket antyder att dessa applikationer inte uppnår sin fulla potential. Målet med denna studie var att utveckla och utvärdera en applikation för att främja fysisk aktivitet som var baserad på sådan forskning. En prototyp av hög funktionsnivå baserad på The Behaviour Change Wheel utvecklades i Adobe XD och utvärderades av fyra deltagare. Resultatet från utvärderingen pekade mot att den utvecklade prototypen var väl uppskattad av deltagarna som även ansåg att prototypen skulle framkalla den önskade beteendeförändringen för ökad fysisk aktivitet. Emellertid, på grund av studiebegränsningarna med bland annat icke-representativa deltagare och utvärderingsförhållanden, tidsram samt applikationens funktionsnivå, kunde inte något absolut bevis framläggas i detta avseende. Ytterligare förbättringar av prototypen och framtida studier är nödvändiga för att utvärdera prototypen mer exakt.

Den viktiga hälsoresan : En kritisk diskursanalys av hur en hälsosam livsstil konstrueras på Instagram / The heavy Healthjourney : A critical discourse analysis of how a healthy lifestyle is constructed on InstagramBjörklund, Nathalie January 2021 (has links)
Människors strävan efter att leva hälsosamt är inget nytt fenomen och många söker antingen själva efter information eller så får de motta hälsobudskap via media. I takt med att människor använder fler sociala medier framför traditionella medier, flyttas också mer ansvar för att producera innehåll till den enskilda individen. Instagram är ett community där människor samlas och där normer och värderingar om bland annat hälsa konstrueras och reproduceras. Mot denna bakgrund syftar denna studie till att utifrån ett språkvetenskapligt perspektiv, undersöka hur en hälsosam livsstil språkligt och visuellt konstrueras på Instagram. Metodologiskt görs detta genom en kritisk diskursanalys av 44 Instagraminlägg som hämtats från #hälsosamlivsstil. De centrala teorier och metoder studien utgår ifrån är socialkonstruktivistism och kritisk diskursanalys tillsammans med språkvetenskapliga metoder för text- och bildanalys. Studien kommer bland annat fram till att användarna som delat inläggen, gärna väljer att inta ”expertpositioner” eller dela ”expertinformation” i samband med att en hälsosam livsstil konstrueras. De återkommande teman och diskurser som är framträdande i denna konstruktion är konsumtion, moral, moderskap, viktnedgång och utseende. Språkligt konstrueras en hälsosam livsstil bland annat som att äta på ett visst sätt, känna träningsglädje eller göra en viktresa. Den visuella analysen visar bland annat att de människor som porträtteras varken äter eller motionerar på bilderna. Vidare är bilder på människor antingen ”selfies” eller kvinnor i tajta träningskläder med spända muskler. Övriga bilder syftar till att visa hur mycket man gått ner i vikt eller hur många kalorier man bränt. De normer och värderingar som framträder i studien visar främst på vad användarna själva anser är en hälsosam kost genom att benämna den som bra eller dålig. Det finns även normer för hur man bör se ut – ha synliga muskler och lite kroppsfett. Men även om konstruktionen ibland skiljer sig åt, visar studien på ett homogent material där en gemensam syn finns om vad som är en hälsosam livsstil enligt användarna under #hälsosamlivsstil.

En el presente trabajo de investigación se lleva a cabo la idea de negocio del desarrollo de una página web móvil que está enfocada en brindar información amplia sobre las ciclovías, talleres técnicos, un Marketplace, tips de vida sana y talleres interactivos para la comunidad. Está dirigido a ciclistas desde los 18 a 24 años de edad de Lima Metropolitana. Esta idea surgió a partir del escaso conocimiento de las nuevas ciclovías que se aperturaron a principios de año, y para ampliar la visibilidad de los talleres técnicos, los cuales brindarán apoyo a los ciclistas con algún desperfecto de su bicicleta que acontezca de manera imprevista durante su trayecto. Para confirmar esta necesidad en el mercado y validar la idea, se procedió a realizar distintas encuestas a usuarios potenciales y a expertos para recopilar las opiniones de nuestro modelo de negocio. Asimismo, se realizó la evaluación a los encuestados para medir sus interacciones a través de nuestros canales de venta. Posterior a ello, se realizó la validación del concierge, en el cual se llegó a la conclusión que las promociones serán realizadas en nuestros tres canales como: Instagram, Facebook y Página Web oficial de GOriders con el objetivo de poder adquirir un mayor impacto sobre nuestro público objetivo. Así mismo, los experimentos llevados a cabo reforzaron los aprendizajes obtenidos en cada uno de estos respectivamente. Finalmente, el plan financiero nos muestra resultados sobre los beneficios obtenidos frente a los recursos empleados, lo cual indica que la idea de negocio presentada es rentable en el mercado. / The present research work is implemented with the business idea of developing a mobile web page focused on providing extensive information on bikeways, technical support, marketplace, healthy lifestyle tips, and interactive workshops for the community. This project was aimed for 18 to 24 years-old cyclists from Metropolitan Lima. This idea arises from the limited information available about bikeways that were recently opened in the city at the beginning of this year, and to increase the visibility of an enterprise bike shop that able to provide supplies and technical support to cyclists experiencing unexpected damages occurred along their journeys. To confirm the market demands and the validation of ideas, different surveys were carried out with potential users and experts to gather opinions on our business model. In addition, we evaluated the interaction with customers through different sale channels. After conducting a concierge test, our results suggested that sale promotions should be carried out on three sale channels, including Instagram, Facebook and the official “GOriders” website to have a great impact on our target audiences. The experiments carried out reinforced the learning obtained in each of these respectively. Finally, the financial plan showed us results on the benefits obtained compared to the resources used, which suggest that our business idea presented is profitable on the market. / Trabajo de investigación

Motivation till beteendeförändring med hjälp av Hälsocoach online : Ur ett självbestämmande perspektiv / Motivation to perform a behavior change using Hälsocoach online : – From a self-determined perspectiveBjörkman, Emelie January 2020 (has links)
Bakgrund: Det är vanligt att personer upplever svårighet i att motivera sig till att genomföra en beteendeförändring mot en mer hälsosam livsstil. Det är även vanligt att personer som genomfört en beteendeförändring faller tillbaka i sina gamla rutiner inom sex månader. Interventioner som motiverar och stöttar personer till en långvarig beteendeförändring är därför av stor vikt i syfte att förbättra ohälsosamma levnadsvanor och därigenom förbättra hälsan hos befolkningen. Den digitala tjänsten Hälsocoach online har utvecklats i syfte att stötta, coacha och motivera personer som vill göra en beteendeförändring mot en mer hälsosam livsstil. Interventioner som stödjer användarens självbestämmande har visats kunna bidra till främjande av mer långvariga livsstilsförändringar. Syfte: Studie syfte var att belysa klienternas upplevelse av motivationsstöd för livsstilsförändring i den digitala tjänsten Hälsocoach online ur ett självbestämmande perspektiv. Metod: Studien är av kvalitativ metod och baseras på sju semi-strukturerade intervjuer med klienter som använt sig av Hälsocoach online. Intervjuerna analyserades abduktivt med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: I resultatet lyfts de delar med Hälsocoach online som klienterna upplevde hade en påverkan på deras motivation till att utföra en livsstilsförändring. Användande av Hälsocoach online upplevdes i många fall som ett positivt stöd för stärkt motivation till beteendeförändring, men även de delar med tjänsten som upplevdes hämmande av motivationen lyftes fram av klienterna. Analysen av intervjuerna resulterade i fem huvudkategorier: Känsla av delaktighet, Personanpassad coaching, Relationen till hälsocoachen, Stöd i omgivningen samt Kommunikationsfaktorer. Resultatet som framkom kunde kopplas till självbestämmandeteorin olika delar, där en tydlig koppling kunde ses mellan tillfredsställelse av de grundläggande behoven autonomi, kompetens och tillhörighet och en lyckad livsstilsförändring. Konklusion: Användande av Hälsocoach online upplevdes i många fall som ett positivt stöd för stärkt motivation till att utföra en beteendeförändring och skulle därmed kunna ses som en användbar digital tjänst vid hälsopromotivt arbete. De faktorer som lyftes av klienterna som betydelsefulla för motivation till beteendeförändring kunde kopplas till de grundläggande behoven inom självbestämmandeteorin. Studien visar därmed att hälsocoacher, genom stärkande av de grundläggande psykologiska behoven autonomi, kompetens och tillhörighet, kan stödja klienterna till ett ökat självbestämmande. Genom ökat självbestämmande kan en stärkt motivation nås vilket kan leda till en mer lyckad och mer långsiktig beteendeförändring, vilket i sin tur kan bidra till en förbättrad livsstil och hälsa hos klienterna. / Background: It is common for people to experience difficulty motivating themselves to make a change in behavior towards a healthier lifestyle. It is also common for people who have implemented a behavior change to fall back into their old habits within six months. Interventions that motivate and support people to long-term behavioral change are therefore of great importance in order to improve unhealthy living habits and thereby improve the health of the population. The digital service Hälsocoach online has been developed with the aim of supporting, coaching and motivating people who want to make a change in behavior towards a healthier lifestyle. Interventions that support the user ́s self-determination have shown to contribute to promotion of more long-term lifestyle changes. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to elucidate the clients ́ experience of motivational support for lifestyle change in the digital service Hälsocoach online from a self-determined perspective. Method: The study is of a qualitative method and is based on seven semi-structured interviews with clients who have used Hälsocoach online. The interviews were abductively analyzed with qualitative content analysis. Results: In the result, the parts of Hälsocoach online that the clients experienced had an impact on their motivation to make a lifestyle change are highlighted. The use of Hälsocoach online was in many cases seen as a positive support in strengthened motivation for behavior change, but even those parts of the service that were not experienced as strengthened for the motivation were highlighted by the clients. The analysis of the interviews resulted in five main categories: Sense of participation, Personalized coaching, Relationship with the health coach, Support in the environment and Communication factors. The results that emerged could be linked to the different parts of the self-determination theory, where a clear connection could be seen between satisfaction of the basic needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness and a successful lifestyle change. Conclusion: In many cases, the use of Hälsocoach online was seen as a positive support for strengthened motivation to perform a behavior change and could thus be seen as a useful digital service in health promotion work. The factors highlighted by clients as important for motivation for behavior change could be linked to the basic needs of self-determination theory. The study thus shows that health coaches, by strengthening the basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness, can support the clients to an increased self-determination and thereby a stronger motivation for a successful and more long-term behavior change, which in turn can contribute to an improved lifestyle and health of the clients. The increased understanding of the various psychological needs in the motivation process can create the right conditions to being able to offer even more effective and better solutions for promoting healthy behaviors over time.

Impacts of Observing Live Open Heart Surgery on Young Adults' Health BehaviorsQarizadah, Muhammad Musa 01 January 2017 (has links)
Having a heart healthy lifestyle at a younger age is beneficial in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in adulthood and various health education programs for CHD prevention exist to persuade young adults to adopt a heart healthy lifestyle. Little is known, however, about the influence of watching live open heart surgery on young adults' adoption of a heart healthy lifestyle. To address that gap in knowledge, this study was conducted at a health facility in Virginia where students came to observe live open heart surgery. The purpose of the study was to understand whether watching live open heart surgery can influence young adults' attitudes and behaviors towards adopting a heart healthy lifestyle. The theory of health belief model and the theory of reasoned action were used in guiding this research. A quantitative design involving observation and administration of surveys was used. A survey with questions about participants' lifestyle practices was administered prior to observation of open heart surgery and 3 or more months afterwards. A total number of 179 young adults at baseline were considered eligible for the study. Ages of the research participants were between 18 and 35 years old. The t test and ANOVA results showed no significant differences between baseline and follow up data with regards to changes in behaviors of young adult students towards adopting a heart healthy lifestyle. The study concluded that observing live heart surgery did not significantly change behaviors of the students in adopting a heart healthy lifestyle. In order to achieve the desired changes in attitudes and behavior of students, looking into other evidence based options and pursuing those that can influence and motivate young adult students to adopt a heart healthy lifestyle can be a positive social change.
