successfully in promoting behaviour change.
Objective To examine the relationships between health-related
quality of life (HRQoL) scores with the stages of change of
adequate physical activity and fruit and vegetables intake.
Design This was a cross-sectional study conducted among employees
of the main campus and Engineering campus of Universiti Sains
Malaysia (USM) during October 2009 and March 2010. Main
variables studied: Data on physical activity and fruit and vegetable
intake was collected using the WHO STEPS instrument for chronic
disease risk factors surveillance. The Short Form-12 health survey
(SF-12) was used to gather information on participants� HRQoL.
The current stages of change are measured using the measures
developed by the Pro-Change Behaviour Systems Incorporation.
Statistical analysis: One way ANOVA and its non-parametric
equivalent Kruskal-Wallis were used to compare the differences
between SF-12 scores with the stages of change.
Results A total of 144 employees were included in this analysis. A
large proportion of the participants reported inadequate fruits and
vegetable intake (92.3%) and physical activity (84.6%). Mean
physical and mental component scores of SF-12 were 50.39 (SD =
7.69) and 49.73 (SD = 8.64) respectively. Overall, there was no
statistical significant difference in the SF-12 domains scores with
regards to the stages of change for both the risk factors.
Conclusions There were some evidence of positive relationship
between stages of change of physical activity and fruit and vegetable
intake with SF-12 scores. Further studies need to be conducted to
confirm this association. |
