Aim: To provide a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of the NAT-FM protocol as a complimentary treatment in patients with fibromyalgia (FM). Methods: A trial was conducted, with two arms: TAU (n = 6) and TAU+NAT-FM (n = 6). Results: There was a reduction in physical limitations and anxious/depressive symptoms and an improvement in positive affect in the intervention group. Also, this group showed a decrease in pain, catastrophizing, negative affect, and positively refocusing, and an increase in positive affect. Intrasession assessments showed an increase in positive affect, self-efficacy, and energy, along with a decrease in stress. Intersession assessments revealed an increase in pain, valence, and dominance. Conclusion: The results suggest the appropriateness of the NAT-FM protocol.

And Behavior

Excessive postpartum weight retention conveys risks for future metabolic diseases. Eating behaviors influence postpartum weight retention; however, the modifiable predictors of eating behaviors remain unclear. Using data from a three-arm, randomized controlled trial, the purpose of this study was to examine the longitudinal associations of mental health (e.g., depressive symptoms) and behavior change skills (e.g., self-efficacy) with eating behaviors (i.e., compensatory restraint, routine restraint, emotional eating, and external eating) among women (N = 424) over 18-months postpartum. Results revealed that depressive symptoms, perceived stress, healthy eating self-efficacy, overeating self-efficacy, self-weighing, and problem-solving confidence were associated with one or more of the examined eating behaviors. Furthermore, depressive symptoms moderated the association between healthy eating self-efficacy and routine restraint. Perceived stress moderated the associations between healthy eating/overeating self-efficacy and emotional eating. The findings suggest that mental health and behavior change skills may serve as targets for interventions designed to improve postpartum women’s eating behaviors.

Significant Difference

BACKGROUND In patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) there is a knowledge gap about the associations between changes in depressive symptoms, self-efficacy and self-care activities. Knowledge about these associations is of importance, as there have been requests for behavioural interventions that could improve self-efficacy, reduce depressive symptoms and improve performance of self-care activities in CVD patients. OBJECTIVE To evaluate if internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) improves self-efficacy, and to explore the relationships between changes in depressive symptoms, self-efficacy and physical activity, as well as the influence of iCBT on these relationships. METHODS A secondary analysis of data collected in a randomized controlled study evaluating the effects of a nine-week iCBT programme compared to an online discussion forum on depressive symptoms in patients with CVD (n=144). Data were collected at baseline and at a post-treatment following the nine-week intervention period. Analysis of covariance was used to evaluate if there was a significant difference in self-efficacy between the groups. Structural equation modelling analyses were used to explore the relationships between changes in depressive symptoms, self-efficacy and physical activity and the influence of iCBT on these relationships. RESULTS At follow-up, a significant difference in the increase in self-efficacy in favour of iCBT was found (P=.04 Cohen’s d=.27). Structural equation modelling revealed an indirect association between changes in depressive symptoms and physical activity (β=-.24, P<.01), with change in self-efficacy as the mediator. Adding iCBT to the model showed that iCBT had a direct effect on change in depressive symptom, which in turn influenced the changes in self-efficacy (β=.23, P<.001) and physical activity (β=.12, P<.001). CONCLUSIONS Self-efficacy was improved by iCBT. The influence of iCBT on self-efficacy and physical activity was, however, mostly mediated by improvements in depressive symptoms.

The purpose of this study was to examine the longitudinal relationships between naturally occurring changes in leisure-time physical activity, depressive symptoms and self-efficacy in adolescent girls. We also aimed to test whether depressive symptoms would moderate the self-efficacy-physical activity relationship. Participants were 181 urban adolescent girls. Physical activity was measured using the 3-Day Physical Activity Recall. Self-efficacy and depressive symptoms were assessed using questionnaires. Body height and body mass were measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Data were collected on three occasions over a 2-year period. There was a decrease in physical activity and self-efficacy and increase in depressive symptoms across three measurement occasions. There were statistically significant and negative relationships between initial level and change for physical activity and depressive symptoms. Initially higher levels of physical activity were related with initially lower levels of depressive symptoms, and change in physical activity across time was inversely associated with change in levels of depressive symptoms across measurements. There were statistically significant and positive relationships between initial level and change for physical activity and self-efficacy after controlling effect of BMI. Latent growth modeling (LGM) also indicated a moderating effect of depressive symptoms on the self-efficacy-physical activity relationship. Girls who had high initial levels of self-efficacy and smaller increases in depressive symptoms had the lowest decline in physical activity participation. Our results encourage the design of interventions that reduce depressive symptoms and increase self-efficacy as a possible of means of increasing adolescent girls’ physical activity.

Background Research on coaction suggests improvements in physical activity and emotional eating will occur in a reciprocal manner. Aims To determine if changes in body satisfaction mediate relations between physical activity and emotional eating changes and if age affects degree of change in those variables. Method Groups of early adult ( n = 43) and middle-age ( n = 52) women participants of a community-based obesity treatment were assessed on behavioral and psychological variables over 3 and 6 months. Results Improvements in physical activity, anxiety-related emotional eating, body satisfaction, anxiety, and exercise self-efficacy were significant overall. Early adults demonstrated greater reductions in emotional eating. Physical activity increase over 3 months significantly predicted 6-month reduction in emotional eating but not vice versa. Body satisfaction change significantly mediated the physical activity–emotional eating relationships. Changes in anxiety and exercise self-efficacy moderated activity → emotional eating and body satisfaction → physical activity relationships, respectively. Conclusion Findings can inform both theory and behavioral obesity interventions.

Our aim was to analyze whether depressive symptoms mediated the association between physical quality of life (QoL) and adherence to physical activity in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), as well as the association between social support and adherence to diet. We also examined whether self-efficacy exerted a moderating role in these associations. QoL (SF-12), social support (MSPSS), depressive symptoms (HADS), self-efficacy (GSE), physical activity (IPAQ) and diet (MEDAS) were evaluated in 413 biopsy-proven NAFLD patients. Mediation and moderated mediation models were conducted using the SPSS PROCESS v3.5 macro. Results showed that depressive symptoms mediated the relationship between physical QoL and adherence to physical activity (indirect effect = 6.248, CI = 1.917–10.727), as well as the relationship between social support and adherence to diet (indirect effect = 0.148, CI = 0.035–0.275). Self-efficacy also moderated the indirect effects of QoL and social support on therapeutic adherence through depressive symptoms. Specifically, the higher self-efficacy was, the lower the negative impact on the NAFLD patient’s mental health. In conclusion, self-efficacy is defined as a protective factor for therapeutic adherence by NAFLD patients with a psychosocial risk profile. Self-efficacy should, therefore, be a main psychological target in future multidisciplinary NAFLD approaches.
