ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To examine health-related self-efficacy for individuals following acquired brain or spinal cord injury prior to enrollment in a weight-loss intervention and associations with demographics, injury characteristics, and additional physiologic variables. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Cross-sectional analysis of baseline data for community-dwelling adults following stroke (CVA), traumatic brain injury (TBI), or spinal cord injury (SCI) across three disability-adapted weight-loss interventions.RESULTS:
Overall results suggest a significant difference between injury type and self-efficacy as measured by the Self Rated Abilities for Health Practices (SRAHP) scale. On average, individuals with SCI had the lowest overall perceived self-efficacy of the three groups (11.2-unit difference; (CI -17.4, -5.0), followed by those with TBI (9.5-unit difference; (CI -16.7, -2.4). There were also differences between groups in age, number of household members, time since injury, sex, race, marital status, physiological measures, and employment status.CONCLUSIONS:
Results suggest that individuals with different disabilities following neurological injuries have different baseline perceptions in their ability to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Health interventions should be tailored for these groups based on disability-specific barriers and should include components to enhance health-related self-efficacy to address weight management among these populations.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONEvidence suggests that health-related self-efficacy may differ following different injury types and level of disability may impact one's ability to maintain health-related behaviorsResults suggest that individuals with a spinal cord injury may have different baseline perceptions of self-efficacy related to their ability to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly compared to those with a traumatic brain injury or stroke.Health interventions should be tailored to encompass disability-specific barriers which may impact an individual's health-related self-efficacy.
