Context: This study analyzed whether self-efficacy (SE) and perceived environmental characteristics (EC) are determinants of the decline in physical activity (PA) time in adolescents. Methods: This used longitudinal observational approach, with 4 years of data collection, involving 355 adolescents (57.7% girls and 42.3% boys), average age of 11.8 years (0.1 y), from João Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil. SE and EC were measured by scales and PA by a questionnaire. Ordinal logistic regression was used to associate SE and EC with a decline in PA. Results: There was a linear trend toward a decrease in average PA duration (58.3 [13.7] min/wk/y) and a rise in average access to places for PA (point per year) (0.6 [0.1]), urban safety (0.2 [0.1]), and traffic safety scores (0.5 [0.1]). The results of multivariable analysis indicated that SE and EC were not associated with the decline in PA. Conclusion: There was a decline in PA time, and SE and perceived EC were not determinants of this decline.

INTRODUCTION: Theory-based education tailored to target behaviour and group can be effective in promoting physical activity.AIM: The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive power of Protection Motivation Theory on intent and behaviour of Physical Activity in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.METHODS: This descriptive study was conducted on 250 patients in Rafsanjan, Iran. To examine the scores of protection motivation theory structures, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. Its validity and reliability were confirmed. The level of physical activity was also measured by the International Short - form Physical Activity Inventory. Its validity and reliability were also approved. Data were analysed by statistical tests including correlation coefficient, chi-square, logistic regression and linear regression.RESULTS: The results revealed that there was a significant correlation between all the protection motivation theory constructs and the intention to do physical activity. The results showed that the Theory structures were able to predict 60% of the variance of physical activity intention. The results of logistic regression demonstrated that increase in the score of physical activity intent and self - efficacy increased the chance of higher level of physical activity by 3.4 and 1.5 times, respectively OR = (3.39, 1.54).CONCLUSION: Considering the ability of protection motivation theory structures to explain the physical activity behaviour, interventional designs are suggested based on the structures of this theory, especially to improve self -efficacy as the most powerful factor in predicting physical activity intention and behaviour.

BACKGROUND Patients and survivors of childhood cancer may experience negative outcomes following treatment. This may result in negative developmental experiences such as social isolation, academic delays, and altered elective participation in developmental activities. Opportunities that offer experiences to children who have had cancer are important to help mitigate the potential outcomes of cancer treatment. One such opportunity is recreational oncology camp (“Camp”); the focus of this research project is Camp Ooch and Camp Trillium located in Ontario, Canada. OBJECTIVE There are two primary objectives of the current study: 1) examine the impact of recreational overnight Camp on social, psychological, emotional, and physical function in childhood cancer patients; and 2) inform an evidence strategy that can be implemented across the organization. METHODS A total of 40 children ages 7 to 18 will be recruited from Camp Ooch and Camp Trillium registration lists. All cancer diagnoses and stages of treatments will be included. No intervention will be added above regular camp programming which participants will opt into, same as campers that are not participating in the study. A No-camp control Group (n=40) will be recruited from The Hospital for Sick Children. Social, Psychological, and emotional functioning will be assessed by questionnaires including the Social Provisions Scale, General Self Efficacy Scale, and The Profile of Mood States (POMS-40). Stress will be measured via salivary cortisol. Physical function will be measured by via activity tracking (FitBit Charge™ 3), and physical literacy will be assessed by the PlaySelf™ scale. Testing will occur pre-camp, during camp, immediately and 6 months post-camp. RESULTS We hypothesize that compared to the non-camp control group, the camp experience will lead to improved social connectedness, reduced salivary cortisol levels (i.e., reduced stress), improved mood states, and increased self-efficacy. We also hypothesize that compared to the non-camp control group, children in the camp group will have increased physical activity participation, which will be associated with improved physical literacy. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, work on this study has been delayed. We are currently completing our application for institutional research ethics approval. Depending on the COVID-19 pandemic status, data collection is projected to begin in the spring of 2021, with the majority occurring during the 2021 summer camp season. Data collection and analyses are expected to be completed by Spring 2022. CONCLUSIONS Overall, we expect the current project will increase knowledge on the psychosocial impact of childhood cancer and a prospective model for supporting positive youth development through social connections, self-efficacy, physical activity, and interaction with the natural environment.

Mathematical Problems

Self-efficacy of students plays a role in determining student success in learning, including learning mathematics. Affective aspects such as self-efficacy, play a major role when students work and use mathematics, because to be able to solve mathematical problems is not enough just to know how to do it, but must be accompanied by self-efficacy about the truth of the concepts and procedures they have. This research was conducted in two groups of students using an instrument in the form of a questionnaire to measure students' self-efficacy. Observation data collection techniques were also conducted to determine the learning process of the two groups. The results showed that groups of students who used active and cooperative learning had higher self-efficacy. Keywords: self-efficacy, mathematics, cooperative learning.

The Impact

Objective: While the use of intraoperative laser angiography (SPY) is increasing in mastectomy patients, its impact in the operating room to change the type of reconstruction performed has not been well described. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether SPY angiography influences post-mastectomy reconstruction decisions and outcomes. Methods and materials: A retrospective analysis of mastectomy patients with reconstruction at a single institution was performed from 2015-2017.All patients underwent intraoperative SPY after mastectomy but prior to reconstruction. SPY results were defined as ‘good’, ‘questionable’, ‘bad’, or ‘had skin excised’. Complications within 60 days of surgery were compared between those whose SPY results did not change the type of reconstruction done versus those who did. Preoperative and intraoperative variables were entered into multivariable logistic regression models if significant at the univariate level. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: 267 mastectomies were identified, 42 underwent a change in the type of planned reconstruction due to intraoperative SPY results. Of the 42 breasts that underwent a change in reconstruction, 6 had a ‘good’ SPY result, 10 ‘questionable’, 25 ‘bad’, and 2 ‘had areas excised’ (p<0.01). After multivariable analysis, predictors of skin necrosis included patients with ‘questionable’ SPY results (p<0.01, OR: 8.1, 95%CI: 2.06 – 32.2) and smokers (p<0.01, OR:5.7, 95%CI: 1.5 – 21.2). Predictors of any complication included a change in reconstruction (p<0.05, OR:4.5, 95%CI: 1.4-14.9) and ‘questionable’ SPY result (p<0.01, OR: 4.4, 95%CI: 1.6-14.9). Conclusion: SPY angiography results strongly influence intraoperative surgical decisions regarding the type of reconstruction performed. Patients most at risk for flap necrosis and complication post-mastectomy are those with questionable SPY results.
